This is a great location for exploring the south coast - 1/2 hour or so from Halifax and Peggy's Cove. It's right on the water, very calm, lots of birds. The accommodations are excellent, good space inside, well equipped and great deck areas. Excellent spot for a small family or two couples.

A truly wonderful experience

The cottage is adorable and the location was fantastic. We explored nearby areas (Peggy’s Cove is only 20 minutes away!) and also enjoyed quiet time by the water. Truly a soul enriching stay. It was hard to leave.

What a beautiful little cottage.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The cottage was cozy and had everything we needed for preparing meals and watching the water. We were able to explore Halifax, and points to the south like Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg and Chester very conveniently. 10/10
