Wonderful experience, nice, well equipped and nicely styled cottage, with caring, warm and generous owners. Pure delight, hard to image you wouldn’t enjoy your stay!

My daughter and I had such an amazing and relaxing time at the Dancing Bees Cottage. The cottage itself was as sweet and lovely as I imagined. So many cute little details everywhere. Negar and her husband were absolutely warm and attentive hosts. Greeting us with homemade lemonade and a tapa, was such a wrlcoming touch. The property itself was so stunning and peaceful. Wildflowers, fruit trees, the garden...it was beautiful! We loved sitting on the deck watch the sun rising and setting every morning and night. The secluded beach was definitely an added bonus! Overall this definitely a much needed soul-cation! We will definitely be back next summer.

Just stunning, the cabin is private, quiet, comfortable, super clean and has gorgeous decor and a deck in the super garden. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer, homemade lemonade and snack on arrival, friendly and helpful and a little gift for us on departure. They had left some toys for my daughter to enjoy which made it very welcoming for her too. Very close to Ella Beach and a quick drive to Sooke’s amenities. Wish we’d had longer here! My only recommendation we would have utilised would be a small dining table on the deck.

Always breezy in Sooke, and 10++ degrees cooler than the mainland in a heat wave. This place is best for 1 - 2 people; take short showers and all is well. Lovely hosts.

We had a brilliant time in Sooke at Dancing Bees cottage- the hosts were so friendly, kind and welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We particularly appreciated the delicious welcoming drink and snack as we had had a long journey! The cabin is beautifully decorated and so comfy and cosy- it has all you need for a perfect stay and I can't thank the hosts enough for everything they did- helping us with the bbq....giving us recommendations... we can't wait to go back!

The Dancing Bees cottage is a wonderful escape to all of nature's beauty in Sooke. The hosts were kind and attentive. They were so welcoming and had a plate of treats ready for us upon our arrival and gave my daughter a little gift to remind us of the wonderful stay. The cabin is beautiful and gives the perfect base to enjoy all the natural beauty in the area including Ella Beach which is down the street.

One of our first decisions we made when planning our elopement was to stay at Dancing Bees Cottage. The communication with Negar leading up to our stay and throughout was incredible. We arrived at the cottage greeted by delicious drinks & snacks prepared with things from their own garden. Negar showed us around the warm, inviting, spotless accommodations & her personable approach made us feel as though we were staying with old friends. Everything you could possibly need, they’ve already thought of making it a real home away from home. Negar & Janusz opened their home & property completely during our wedding. Thoughtful gestures such as setting up an area for us to do the document signing surrounded by their beautiful gardens, fresh flowers in the cottage, a hard written card with pressed lavender, champagne and gift congratulating us, were all set up before they had even met us. Extending their hospitality even more, they let us use the front lawn to make it legal with our officiant, best friends & photographer. Janusz was moving furniture around their property to make for a magazine worthy background for photos, while Negar was pulling out an ironing board, helping my husband with any last minute wrinkles. They sent special photos & videos of the morning that we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we were able to share with our extended family. Ella Beach, Dancing Bees cottage and Negar & Janusz will be forever a part of our adventures beginning as Mr. & Mrs. Thank you so much for having us and we hope to stay with you again very soon. Your friends, Leah & Derek.

nice place

I could not recommend the dancing bees cottage more! The welcome we received was so lovely, the cottage was spotless and the decor was absolutely beautiful. Sooke itself is so beautiful and the cabin is located perfectly for everything you might want to see and do - we didn't want to leave! Melissa and Liam

We loved this property. If you're looking for peace and quiet this is the place, beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed the hosts as much as the property. They made us feel very welcome. When it was time to go we felt like we we're leaving friends!
