Rose Wind Cottage is a lovely oceanfront retreat on the Annapolis Basin on the scenic Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley region of Nova Scotia. The highest tides in the world are right at your doorstep, and the landscape around you changes from minute to minute as the tides ebb and flow. Cottage rooms are bright and sunny and finished with an antique and contemporary décor within feet of the shoreline.
A comfortable swing on the front deck provides a panoramic view of the Annapolis Basin, Digby Gut, and fabulous sunsets. The patio dining set on the back deck overlooks the tidal flats of Bear River – a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast while you watch the herons wade the shorelines. Every window in the cottage has a view of the water. Take the stairs to your private beach and drift for miles along the shoreline. This is a great spot for beachcombing. You can also dig your own clams or, if you’re quick, you can walk to Bear Island and back at low tide. Rose Wind is also close to whale watching tours, the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens, Fort Anne and Port-Royal, the Upper Clements Theme Park, restaurants, deep-sea and fresh water fishing, golf, hiking, kayaking and fine art and craft shops.
Day trips from Rose Wind Cottage can include taking in a wealth of small, picturesque fishing villages along the Annapolis Basin, a tour of the Noel shore to the historic lighthouse at Burnt Coat, a visit to the World Heritage town of Lunenburg, walking or hiking in Kejimkujik National Park, rafting the tidal bore of the Shubenacadie River or visiting local and area museums.
