Oceanfront B&B Retreat.  Wild beach at the edge of the Pacific fronts our property - just moments down a rainforest trail from your hotel-style accommodations.  Nest with the eagles above the Salish Sea (Strait of Juan de Fuca) at Orveas Bay / Muir Creek Beach overlooking the Olympic Mountains, between Sooke and Port Renfew.  This serene, comfortable, seven room ocean-front bed and breakfast accommodation is perfect for your holiday get-away.  Five acres of gardens and wild space for your enjoyment.  Our bnb is a great stay-over when driving the on the Pacific Marine Circle Route (from Victoria to Port Renfew). Located about 60 minutes from Victoria on the southern tip of Vancouver Island - about 4 hours closer to Victoria than Tofino. 

This Sooke B and B Inn is a beguiling mix of elegant and rustic (not a fussy Victorian b&b). Our accommodation was purpose-built styled as a hotel with spacious rooms, private entrances, and all private ensuite bathrooms.  The property includes a vintage log dining room with a stone fireplace where coffee and tea are available 24/7 free to our guests.  Our English cottage garden is embraced by old-growth forest.  

Be active (hiking, birding, fishing, biking, kayaking, golfing etc.) or still (nap, soak in the hot tub, read, sip tea, count waves etc.) as you wish. 

Book a (nearly doily-free) room overlooking the ocean or forest.  We are pleased to provide you with a full breakfast.  Or if you prefer to be self catering, a kitchenette is available for your use.

Ecotourism advocates point to a fresh future in the forests

When members of the Ancient Forest Alliance asked Port Renfrew restaurant owner Jessica Hicks to host a public meeting about a stand of old growth trees dubbed Avatar Grove, Hicks thought she might use the event as a fundraiser for the fledgeling environmental group. Then, reflecting on her Coastal Kitchen Cafe's place in the community and the smouldering tension between environmentalists and B.C.'s logging towns, Hicks decided a simple information session might ruffle fewer feathers.

Massive stumps raise suspicions

Giant red cedars logged while ecotourism promoted - Support protection of the Avatar Grove before its too late.
