About this property

Dancing Bees Cottage - A "Rustic-Chic" Cabin near the Secluded Ella Beach

Welcome to the Dancing Bees Cottage, our quaint seaside cabin in the picturesque village of Sooke, just 35 minutes outside of Victoria, B.C.

This beautifully designed cottage welcomes you with the most amazing aroma of cedarwood and cozy decor to give you an immediate sense of relaxation. A 3-minute walk to the secluded "Ella Beach" will show you the unspoiled, natural beauties of Vancouver Island firsthand. The beach is formed of pebbles that have been rounded by the ocean wave in different colors and shapes, they heat up beautifully in the sun and making this a dream location for open-water swimmers.

The "Ella Road Park" is also right outside your door if you feel like going for a rejuvenating morning walk in the forest. It's nature on your doorstep, literally!

After a day of exploring the spectacular Canadian West Coast, relax on your private deck in a quiet garden setting with views of the meadows, majestic pine trees, and the Olympic Mountains. If you are an artist, be ready to get inspired! The deck is also great for stargazing and basking in the silence of nature at night.

Your well-behaved fur baby is welcome to run freely in the meadow right in front of your deck fetching balls or rabbits! Please check in your pet at the time of reservation to ensure we are ready to welcome him/her.

Great place to relax in Sooke
Then location was great for our stay. Close to Sooke for convenient shopping and eating out as well as easy to walk to the beach or just around the neighbourhood. Victor was a warm and welcoming host providing fresh vegetables and peaches from his incredible garden. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

A beautiful place to stay
From the moment we booked our stay, it couldn't have gone better. Negar & Janusz gave us such a warm welcome. We were greeted & shown around the cabin which was beautifully decorated & very comfortable. They even gave us some lovely dishes made of fruit/veg from the garden and tomatoes & peaches to take home with us when we were leaving. We would come back here again in a heart beat!

Magic!
My stay at the Dancing Bees Cottage was magic. I was there for just a few nights but will certainly be back at some point. Negar is the most lovely host — I felt so welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Paradise
What a beautiful property! The cottage is spectacular, thoughtfully designed and decorated. So peaceful, immaculately clean with everything you need. We were greeted by our lovely hosts Negar and Janusz with a refreshing beverage and a plate of delights straight from their garden. The access is easy and the whole property is fenced which made it perfect for our pup. We had planned to go out and explore the area but the cottage was so peaceful and private that we just stayed put and enjoyed it so much. We will definitely look forward to returning. Thank you for the experience!
