Awesome Getaway!

We were super impressed with this property and thoroughly enjoyed our night here. The suite was beautiful, well-equipped with everything we needed, conveniently located by the Galloping Goose Trail (which we cycled in on), and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of cycling. Highly recommend and would return!

Peaceful, Clean, Great Location!

We so enjoyed our stay at the Harborside Haven. It was the perfect springboard for all of our Sooke area adventures. The hot tub was especially a perk after a long days of hiking and beach combing! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Riding the Galloping Goose to Sooke

After riding our bikes to Sooke from Victoria, Harbourside Haven was the perfect quiet, comfortable place to enjoy the view of harbour while also close to town. The kitchen was well appointed and we were so content, we shopped at the local grocery and enjoyed dinner with a view. Friendly hosts and a lovely spot!

Comfortable suite with a nice ocean view

The property is well kept with lots of clear windows; rain or shine. (No fogging up) The kitchen, dining area and living room is one big, bright area. The queen size bed is very comfortable. Katherine and Ryan are good hosts. They care about their guests, and my husband was invited by Ryan set out crab pots, and take them back in. Then they gave us all the crabs! That was a very nice gesture. Thank you, Ryan and Katherine! One word to potential guests: There are lots of stairs outside that has to be navigated. We would gladly recommend this place to anyone who’s going to Vancouver Island.

We had a lovely time at Harbourside Haven and found it very comfortable, well-stocked, and had gorgeous views of the water right in front of us. Katherine and Ryan were great hosts and helpful in answering our questions and suggesting fun outings on the Island. We had a dog with us, so it was super great to have a yard for him to enjoy. It is located right in the town and was easy to walk to restaurants and markets. Yet it's located in a quiet neighborhood, so we found it very restful. They had a nice library of books and games, plus a generous supply of household items like soaps, detergents, linens, kitchen items, and spices. We definitely recommend staying there and would come back if we return to B.C. This was a refreshing break from Arizona in the U.S.!

A great getaway location!

The owners were very accommodating and communicated very well to make this stay enjoyable. The property is nicely located and provides a great water view from the deck that we enjoyed with a coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening.

Nice Harbor View

Close to Sooke Center and Galloping Goose rail trail. Nice kitchen area and nice bathroom. Lots of steps to navigate from a very crowded parking arrangement on the property. Furniture and linens clean, but definitely in need of an update. Host family lives above the suite, so can be noisy.

Wonderful View

The morning sunshine on the deck was wonderful but in the evening the cool shade makes for a comfortable sleep. We loved watching the local seal family of 13 with 2 new babies, play and catch some sun on the logs right in front of the property. Very relaxing.

About the host

Hosted by Katherine and Ryan

Host profile image
We are a family of four who live on the property. We have worked hard to make this place our home, and look forward to sharing it with guests. After living in New Zealand for two years, and exploring different parts of North America, and experiencing awesome hospitality, we thought it would be amazing to bring the world to our doorstep, and host people ourselves.

Why they chose this property

This property has the 'Wow' factor. The day we initially viewed this property, we sat in the house for nearly an hour and just imagined what it would be like to look at this view our whole lives. We watched the sun sparkle off the water, the morning mist moved in and out, the birds, the boats, the seals. The view is constantly changing! We immediately wrote an offer, and the rest - as they say - is history.
