The space

It is located in a quiet, highly coveted & upscale residential neighbourhood of Sooke called Saseenos which means sunny land gently rising from the sea. The area is abundant with unspoilt nature & a micro-climate of warm weather. The famous Galloping Goose Trail is just a stones throw distance away providing for some of the best local trail walking & cycling around!
