The Beachouse

Where the Basin sets the pace

Kaltasin sits at the water's edge on Billings Spit, the sandy finger of land where the Sooke River meets the sea. The beach is right outside the patio doors — a wide, walkable tideline where herons stalk the shallows and eagles work the river mouth.

Inside, the self-contained two-bedroom suite is beautifully renovated with an artistic mix of vintage and contemporary finds. Mornings start slow: coffee on the deck, the Basin flat as glass, the Sooke Hills still holding the last of the mist.

  • Direct beachfront — the tideline starts at your patio
  • Kayak, canoe, beach chairs & towels provided
  • Full kitchen, fireplace, laundry, and Wi-Fi

The Farmstay

A working hobby farm, two steps from the sea

This isn't a beach house pretending to be a farm — it's a genuine small holding, home to a busy flock of chickens whose morning chatter guests write home about. Fresh eggs come with the territory, and the gardens are part of the charm.

It's the rare kind of stay where the ocean and the barnyard share a fence line — fall asleep to the tide, wake up to the hens.

  • A working chicken farm with fresh eggs for guests
  • Gardens, pond life, and plenty of birdwatching
  • Kid-friendly, and pets are welcome too

Explore Sooke

Out here, the wild is the neighbourhood

Sooke is where Vancouver Island starts to feel like the edge of the world — in the best way. Everything below is an easy trip from the front door.

Steps away

Billings Spit Beach

Sandy, Walkable, Sheltered, Warm. The Spit wraps the mouth of the Sooke River — walk it at low tide and you'll share it mostly with herons.

10 min drive

Sooke Village

Local, Friendly, Unhurried, Handy. Groceries, coffee, bakeries, and some very good fish and chips on the harbour.

10 min drive

Whiffin Spit

Breezy, Flat, Scenic, Dog-happy. A natural breakwater walk with the Strait of Juan de Fuca on one side and the harbour on the other.

15 min drive

Sooke Potholes

Emerald, Carved, Cool, Swimmable. Deep rock pools carved into the Sooke River canyon — the classic summer swim.

20 min drive

East Sooke Regional Park

Rugged, Coastal, Wild, Vast. Fifty kilometres of trail along bluffs and beaches — the Coast Trail is a full-day stunner.

40 min drive

Victoria

Historic, Harbourside, Lively, Close-enough. The provincial capital for a city day — then back to the quiet.

What guests remember

It's a working small holding farm... The guest house is spotless, and beautiful. The beach is right out front of the patio doors.

Suzan M.

The location is lovely and the house has been beautifully renovated... amazing views and our host was also so kind.

Jacqueline L.

Close enough to enjoy Victoria. Far enough for outdoor adventures around Sooke. Gracious host.
