Sooke Harbour House

What Sooke Harbour House does

Sooke Harbour House is a privately held boutique hotel and resort operating from a single oceanfront property at 1528 Whiffin Spit Rd in Sooke, on the southwestern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Founded in 1925 and acquired in 2026 by Catalog Hospitality, a West Vancouver restaurateur group, the property offers 30 individually designed guestrooms (28 with ocean views over the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains), an on-site West Coast restaurant, a Garden Cafe, a wine cellar, and wedding and event venues. Core customers are affluent leisure travelers — couples on romantic getaways, wedding parties, nature and adventure tourists, and pet-owning travelers — served through a direct-to-consumer motion.

The business runs on a small, conventional hospitality technology stack: Cloudbeds powers online room reservations and the property management workflow, while OpenTable handles restaurant table bookings. There is no proprietary platform technology; differentiation rests on the physical asset (the oceanfront location, room design, the Victor Newman Kwakwaka'wakw art suite), curated F&B (locally sourced ingredients, BC wine program), and destination programming (wedding packages, eco-tour partnerships with operators like Neptune Wildlife Tours and Adventures By HIP).

Revenue is generated through three streams: nightly room rates and multi-night packages (Harbour Summer Escape, Wake Up At The Harbour, Paws At The Harbour, Longer You Linger with 50% off the third night, plus a BC Locals Staycation), food and beverage covers with menu items priced from $4 to $72, and wedding and private event bookings including property buyouts. A $75 dining credit is bundled into stays of two nights or more to drive on-property F&B capture. The company employs 11-50 staff, is not publicly listed, and discloses no revenue figures.
