Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

The 28 unique, comfortable and elegant guestrooms have fireplaces and breathtaking water views, some offering jetted or soaking tubs for 2 in the guestrooms or private decks. The "Serenity" Spa in-room ocean therapy provides relaxation and rejuvenation.

The entire inn is a gallery offering a wide variety of mediums from local artists and artisans.

Frederique and Sinclair Philip purchased the Sooke Harbour House in 1979. At that time it consisted of a small dining room and five small guestrooms with shared bath.

Their clientele grew rapidly. In 1986 they built ten additional guestrooms (rooms 6-15) and were the first ones to offer fireplaces and spa tubs in the rooms. In 1988, they finished a renovation that turned the original five guestrooms into three spacious and luxurious rooms (rooms 1-3).
In 1997, the final addition of 16 new guestrooms was completed. Two special event rooms, the Potlatch Room and the Garden Room, were also created at this time. This expansion allowed Frederique to expand on her love of art and provide four floors of local art exhibits. This is what the Inn looks like today. An elegant country Auberge on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, a dining room where guests can watch eagles and seals play while they savor seasonal and local cuisine and 28 eclectically and artistically furnished guestrooms.
