Situated on 5 acres and 1500 feet of waterfront, Arbutus Cove Guesthouse & Cottages is an estate that offers absolute privacy with direct accessibility to the Galloping Goose Trail.
Although surrounded by parks, trails and nature, Arbutus Cove is a 10 minute walk from one of Sooke's many pubs and restaurants and only a 40 minute drive to downtown Victoria.  Located at kilometer 37 of the Galloping Goose Trail makes Arbutus Cove Guesthouse & Cottages the perfect day ride from Victoria or Swartz Bay.

The Homestead invites you to the best of Vancouver Island tourism: rugged luxury, the quiet of waves and seabirds, close enough to town and to total wilderness, remote enough to enjoy solitude.

On the remote edge of Sooke, our self-catering vacation home was constructed in 2000 of half-timbered logs from our property in the piece-en-piece style of Canada’s early settlers. You can span the centuries here back to a simpler time, without sacrificing a single modern luxury. The kitchen is fully equipped –including both cappuccino and popcorn makers. The Jacuzzi for two has an ocean view. Snuggle in the living room before the gas fireplace, reading, listening to the stereo, or (horrors!) watching television.

Enjoy summers stepping onto the large oceanfront deck and relax in the arms of nature – soothed by the lapping of waves, the soaring of eagles from majestic tree-tops, and the warmth of the sun — all before the spectacular backdrop of the snow-capped Olympic mountains. The ocean panorama refreshes your spirit.  Winters follow,  watching  incredible storms roll down the strait, while you relax  in the comfort and luxury of your double jacuzzi.

At day’s end, listen to the ocean from a queen size sleigh bed on the loft. When you include the double couch-bed, this Sooke guest cabin sleeps four.

Reserve your place in paradise – online reservations accepted, email, or call toll-free.

History

Butler Brothers Supplies Ltd. has a longstanding tradition of providing a wide range of building materials to lower Vancouver Island. The company first began in the 1930s, engaging in logging and the sale of gravel and expanding into the manufacture and sale of ready-mixed concrete in the 1950s.

Today, the company serves its customers with ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products all over ther Capital Region and Vancouver Island. There are three gravel pit locations in Central Saanich, Sooke and Duncan, providing everything from fill material to specialized sand and rock products.

The company has ready-mixed concrete batch plants in Central Saanich, Sooke and Victoria and, with one of the largest fleets of ready-mix trucks on the island, can supply ready-mix to any size of job site.

Butler Brothers Supplies Ltd., a recognized leader in the industry, continues to grow and meet the changing needs of its customers.

The Butler Brothers Family

A part of the rich heritage of the Saanich Peninsula and continuing to play a key role in the development of Vancouver Island Communities.

Although Butler Brothers Supplies Ltd. was incorporated in 1954, the Butler family has been a part of the History of the Saanich Peninsula since Captain George Stephen Butler began farming there in 1868.

The 'Butler Brothers' of the company name were Claude, Wally, Tom and Eric, all grandchildren of the Captain. Claude Butler, who was president of the company for quite a few years, passed away in 1986. Wally, the second brother, passed away in 1992. The company is now under the leadership of the Captain's great-grandson, Brian Butler.

The brothers were doing business of the island before the Second World War, when they were engaged in logging and the sale of gravel. In the late 1940s they built a small store to handle the sale of a limited selection of building materials. Following this, in the early 1950s, they became involved in the manufacture and sale of ready-mix concrete.

Today, Butler Brothers Supplies Ltd. has three gravel pits in operation - Keating Cross Road, Sooke and Duncan - and sells ready-mix concrete from Keating Cross Road, Bay Street in Victoria and Sooke.

Butler Brothers Supplies Ltd. continues to grow to meet the needs of Island consumers and to carry on the tradition of quality, integrity and service to Vancouver Island communities.

We provide fast, comprehensive photographic and video services for you and your business. These services are tailored to each individual's needs and budget to help promote and attract new customers to their business or wow their families and friends.

Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra

This community orchestra, with more than 60 members, was founded by Norman Nelson in 1997 and performed its first symphony concert in June 1998. With the subsequent introduction of the Sooke Philharmonic Chamber Players and the Sooke Philharmonic Chorus, the concert season now features four programs (eight concerts) plus the ever-popular Philharmonic “Fling”, an open air pops concert performed each summer. In addition, small ensembles perform regularly at community events and fundraisers.

As part of our commitment to support and encourage young musicians, the Sooke Philharmonic Society sponsors the annual Don Chrysler Concerto Competition for Young Musicians. The winner performs with the orchestra at the Celebration of Young Artists concerts in the fall.

Each year, our week-long Sooke Harbour Chamber Music Workshop attracts musicians from Canada, the U.S. and Britain.

Through the efforts of Maestro Nelson and the musicians and supported by many dedicated volunteers, the Sooke Philharmonic has grown to become the major musical presence it is today.

Sooke Philharmonic Chorus

Are you a singer? Have you ever wanted to sing with a live orchestra? The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is looking for more members. We rehearse on Saturday mornings from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. For more information, please call Lynda Rose at 250-642-3536 or email Lynda: sookerose@shaw.ca

The chorus began as the Sooke Festival Chorus, performing in the millennium Sooke Festival of Performing Arts under the direction of Christopher Symons. After two seasons, it became the Sooke Philharmonic Chorus in 2002, with Mary Wolfe (Holland) as Choral Director.

Now under the direction of Nicholas Fairbank, this auditioned group of approximately 30 singers performs classical repertoire with the Sooke Philharmonic Chamber Players twice a year.
