Enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides—truly a sight to behold. If you’re lucky, you might spot whales, dolphins, seals, or even a massive 500-pound sunfish basking in the bay.
It’s just a short walk to the water and the lighthouse, ideal for peaceful strolls and stunning scenery.

Located near Berwick, Kentville, and New Minas, the property is close to numerous attractions, including whale-watching tours, golf courses, and a children’s amusement park.

In other words, there’s no shortage of things to do—whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or just pure relaxation!
Whether you’re savoring a quiet moment on the upper deck with a cup of tea or your favorite beverage, or taking in the equally stunning view from the lower deck, this is the perfect place to unwind and recharge. With a "rush hour" of only four cars an hour, serenity and calm are assured.
