Sooke Harbour House
"A favorite Canadian home away from home," this small inn and restaurant on the west coast of Victoria Island is beloved for its "intimacy, quiet, views, service, and fresh food." The "excellent chef" prepares dishes that focus on local and seasonal seafood. Each room is uniquely designed and named—the Grandifolia has a wood sculpture of a tree by a local artist—with paintings and glasswork throughout. Some have wood-burning fireplaces or bathtubs for two. The location means "a wonderful proximity to wilderness, kayaking, beaches, and spectacular starlit nights."
