S The Seagull Studio Vacation Suite
I
n 2019 my husband John and I bought some vacant land in Sooke and we built our ‘Dream Home’ just steps from the Pacific Ocean. The Seagull Studio Vacation Suite sits atop the garage, nestled at the far end of the property, boasting a secluded entrance and a private patio exclusively for its guests. This one-bedroom suite includes a daybed, suitable for an additional adult or child, ensuring comfortable accommodation for all. Equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, the suite facilitates culinary creativity with all the necessary amenities at your fingertips. Step onto the private gated patio of Seagull Studio, where a Weber Gas BBQ awaits, alongside tables and chairs sheltered by a charming Cabana. Indulge in the joy of dining Al Fresco, elevated by the serene ambiance. For cozy evenings, a fire pit is at your disposal, complete with wood when Fire Bans are not in effect.

ince 1998, Forest Cooperage has anchored its reputation in the craftsmanship of premium cedar products right here in Sooke. We specialize in western red cedar hot tubs, barrel saunas, cold plunges, and water cisterns, which we ship to local customers, and to locations across the world. Our approach is to offer products that blend seamlessly with the laid-back island lifestyle, and can be right at home anywhere from luxury hotels to rustic off grid cabins, and everything in between. Think durability meets design, and practicality paired with a touch of indulgence. For Victoria locals and visitors alike, our doors are open. Witness the care and detailed workmanship that goes into every product. With our own drying kiln on site, we can control the quality from start to finish. Whether you’re looking to elevate your home spa experience or integrate a piece of the West Coast’s natural elegance into your routine, Forest Cooperage delivers. We’re proud to build in Sooke and service our local customers, and were also proud to ship to locations such as the iconic Sundance Resort in Utah, where we recently supplied
a beautiful oversize barrel sauna built from cedar salvaged from a decommissioned logging road bridge. Making beautiful products that bring great moments and memories for our clients drives us in everything we do, whether it’s a sauna on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, or a soaking tub on a Brooklyn rooftop.
