Appaloosa Getaway Cottage Rental, just footsteps from the blue waters of scenic Wallace Bay, affords a spectacular view of the magnificent Malagash peninsula and the Northumberland Strait. The Sunrise Trail, which winds its way along shoreline of northern Nova Scotia, offers stunning vistas of sandy shores with bright red bluffs and tidal salt marshes. Time moves slowly here where many generations have harvested the bounty of the land and sea, which remain unspoiled and waiting to be explored. Here we offer a home away from home.
Play golf at one of the three golf courses in the area, buy fresh lobster at the wharf in nearby Wallace, visit one of the many local museums, spend a day at Jost Winery, explore the beautiful coast or just sit back and relax at your Appaloosa Getaway. There are fine restaurants, colourful galleries and craft shops, as well as summer theatre, farmers’ markets, vineyards to tour and local wines to sample. Special music-filled festivals celebrate blueberry and strawberry harvests. For swimmers and beachcombers, our shoreline invites you to enjoy the warmest saltwater north of the Carolinas. There are twelve beautiful provincial parks, rivers and waterfalls, hiking trails, sand dunes and wildlife-filled salt marshes for the adventurous traveller.
Tour a replica of the Ship Hector, the first boat bringing Scottish settlers to the region in historic Pictou. At the Balmoral Grist Mill, you can see grain ground into flour using power generated by a wooden water wheel in a picturesque brook, or visit the Sutherland Steam Mill, where steam power turns logs into lumber, just as it did in 1894. In Stellarton, Nova Scotia’s Museum of Industry boasts two of the world’s oldest steam locomotives among its extensive collection highlighting early industrial development.
Our accommodations include one cozy 2-bedroom waterfront cottage (Queen-sized bed, bunk bed) with 4-piece bath (whirlpool). We offer a well-equipped kitchen as well as satellite television and a DVD player. A wooden deck with its comfortable patio furniture provides a perfect place to relax and enjoy the view of the water, or to cook up a summer feast on a gas barbecue to enjoy at the picnic table on the well-groomed lawn. Stairs lead the way down to the beach, where you can walk for miles, pick fresh mussels from the reef, comb the beach, swim, explore the tidal flats, or build a fire and enjoy the gentle sounds of the water lapping at the shore. Visa and MasterCard are accepted.
