Description:
If you've been searching for a West Coast paradise, you need look no further than the Sooke Harbour House. Nestled near the entrance to Sooke Harbour on the Juan de Fuca Strait, this charming Shangri-La overlooks the stunning Olympic Mountains and is only an hour's drive from Victoria. It is a peaceful and comfortable seaside escape, decorated with local Native and folk art pieces and furnishings, and is an internationally acclaimed country inn that tourists and nature-lovers visit from all over the world.

The owners, Frederique and Sinclair Philip, have designed each room with a personal and elegant touch, offering such amenities as fresh flowers, pillow-soft bathrobes, local and exotic fruits, coffees, and specialty teas. The hotel even provides outdoor-weather gear for walks on the beach during the West Coast winter's stormy afternoons. All the rooms have their own theme and offer unique décor, ocean views, a balcony or terrace, private bath, and wood-burning fireplaces. For full pampering and extravagance, the hotel also offers sea-spa treatments, available by appointment.

Sooke Harbour House welcomes corporate functions such as seminars or retreats, and can provide specially prepared menus for each day. Attentive hotel staff also has information on hand regarding activities in the Sooke area, such as fishing, golfing, hiking, and scuba diving.

Dining at the Sooke Harbour House is an event you will never forget. The gourmet chefs prepare a different menu each day depending on the availability of local ingredients--fresh organic seafood, organically raised meats, local farm-fresh produce, and a variety of herbs and edible flowers from the hotel gardens. This five-star restaurant offers vegetarian entrees and will cater to special dietary requirements if needed. They have an extensive wine list and knowledgeable staff that can help choose the best wine to complement your meal.

The superb hospitality, exceptional furnishings, and restful ambience make visiting this paradise by the sea an extraordinary experience.

Comments
There are many fine restaurants that also prepare gourmet menus that rival, and to be honest, outdo, this particular restaurant--and they do not subject the customers to such blatantly expensive overcharging either. If going to Vancouver Island, make reservations for the Aerie Resort rather than Sooke Harbour House--better menu, better accomodations, and, offering superior value for the price.
