How to find Skookum Bed & Breakfast

From Tsawwassen near Vancouver, BC and from the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal near Sidney, BC:

Take highway 17 to Highway 1 North - (sign will say to Nanaimo), then Exit 14 to the Langford Exit South (Millstream Road) - stay in the left of the two exit lanes and go under the over pass. This exit will take you to the Veteran's Memorial Parkway. Stay on Veteran's Memorial Parkway until you get to Sooke Road, Highway 14. Turn right at Sooke Road and drive west towards Sooke (25 minute drive) - we're 5 minutes past the 17 Mile Road House Pub. Stay on Highway 14 Sooke Road and look for the road before our street which is Ludlow Road. Keep going on Sooke Road, go over a little bridge, go around a curve to the right and turn right onto Harbour View Road. Look for a large cedar fence and go down the long driveway. You cannot see our house from the road.

If you are hiking or cycling the Galloping Goose Trail:

We are the road after the 40 km mark on the trail - turn right onto Harbour View Road and no, you don't have to go up the steep hill on your bike! Look for a large cedar fence and go down the long driveway. You cannot see our house from the road. 

You can take the double decker bus and put two bikes in front too!

Take bus 53 Goldstream from Victoria to the Western Exchange where you will take bus 61 Sooke. Ask the driver to let you off at the Harbour View Road stop and walk the short distance from the bus stop to our home.
