- Description: Located directly in the heart of Mahone Bay on Main St – steps away from shops, restaurants and sits on the mouth of Mahone Bay waterway, this 2 bedroom, 2 bath quaint and cozy apartment is all yours. With a full kitchen and just steps from a grocery store where you can stock up and fire up the BBQ or head out to the many amazing restaurants within walking distance.
Star gaze by the campfire, relax at the waters edge or end the evening with a glass of wine on your private deck.
The space
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite includes a full kitchen with stove, oven, fridge and microwave, toaster, coffee pot, kettle, blender (for those fun drinks), pots, pans – all the comforts of home. Cuddle up and watch a movie as you unwind as the TV has Netflix and Amazon Prime, or head next door to Mateus Bistro and take in a local band.
Fully equipped kitchen, complete with coffee, tea, condiments, cereal, oatmeal, and a gift basket upon your arrival with some essentials for your stay.
The suite comes with puzzles, games, books and a deck of cards to pass the time your way. There is even a book written by me for your enjoyment.
Your private patio contains a table and 2 chairs, separate portable chairs to take by the waters edge or to a local beach. your own BBQ and a relaxing view. You can see and easily walk to the world famous 3 churches – and be lulled by the sound of the church bells playing as they echo across the bay.
Guest access
You can easily walk the neighborhood as we are located in the heart of Mahone Bay. All restaurants, post office, grocery, pharmacy, coffee shops, tea, liquor store, brew pub, shopping, ice cream, pizza, and more is at your doorstep.
Beautiful peaceful backyard and we are on the waters edge of the Maggie May River. You can feed the ducks nightly at the waters edge.
Barbecue is on the main level, and you have your own as well at end of your deck. Right at the waters edge sits a fire pit where you can relax, unwind, roast some marshmallows and catch a look at the thousands of stars overhead.
This is a 2nd floor apartment with 3 flights of stairs. Not recommended for elderly or parents with young children.
Other things to note
Use the custom created welcome guide which has all the details including restaurant, golf, wineries, hikes and tourist attractions as well as some hidden gems just for you.
This unit comfortably fits 3 people – queen and 1 single bed – and is a NON- SMOKING PROPERTY and NO PETS. This is NOT designed for 3 separate sleepers – do not book if that is you. This is for a couple and a single. Three separate sleepers cannot be accommodated for space-wise or bedding-wise.
This is a 2nd floor apartment with 3 flights of stairs.
Main St. is very busy during the day – you are on the back though not street level. It becomes quiet around 7pm when most traffic is gone – but you will get the odd loud vehicle. Traffic normally resumes around 7am so if you need silence, a Main St. location may not be for you.
You may also hear music from Mateus Bistro in the summer months or the bandstand which is right along the water. It ends around 8-9pm and is generally quite lovely and enjoyable though.
We are at the center of downtown Mahone Bay – but not the center of Mahone Bay water – we are at the waterside edge so you get a water/river view where you’ll see the road and a view of the church steeple, along with a gas station that is next to the church.
This is a great place to be in the heart of the town within walking distance to EVERYTHING.
There are no laundry facilities on site. We do the towels and bedding at your request if you are here for a long stay and it needs changing. Your own personal clothing you will need to take to a laundromat located in Bridgewater or Lunenburg. We do offer drop off and pick up for a fee to a full-service dry cleaner if you would like that.

- Description: The Mainland North Trail is a multi-use 4.5-km (9-km return) trail linking from just beyond Washmill Lake Drive to Parkland Drive in Clayton Park, Halifax. The wide pathway has a compacted crusher-dust surface. Jogging is popular along this trail, and the hilly terrain offers a challenge to many! The 1-km wooded loop into the Mainland Common near Westridge Drive adds a quiet walk through natural landscapes, including overlooking a bog. The trail is maintained in the winter, so is no longer suitable for cross-country skiing. Dog walking on leash is permitted.
The trail links several community assets, including schools, the library and the Canada Games Centre, to home and work along the route. Be cautious as the trail crosses several main roads.

Located within the Garrison House Inn in the historic town of Annapolis Royal, each dish tells a story, one that begins along the windswept coasts of Normandy and finds its way here in Nova Scotia, shaped by the rich maritime spirit we now call home in Annapolis Royal.
Maison, meaning “house,” is a place to create memories, where the salt lingers in the air, the tides set the rhythm, and a well prepared meal is shared among friends and family.
Familiar, yet new. Rooted, yet inspired.
The team has poured their heart and soul into every detail, and look forward to welcoming old friends, new faces, and all those who gather around the table to enjoy a meal at Maison St George.

- Description: Major’s Point Historic Site located in Belliveau Cove in the Yarmouth and Acadian Shores region commemorates the arrival of a group of Acadians fleeing the expulsion in 1755.
It is also the site of the first Acadian cemetery on St. Mary’s Bay, which was used as a burial ground until 1786. A replica of The Little Chapel, which dates back to 1892, was built on this site as a reminder of the sacredness of these grounds.
Walking trails connect the site with the nearby Belliveau Cove Municipal Park.
Site improvements were implemented in 2024 including recladding of the chapel, regrading of the cemetery, adding a stone wall and stone crosses. New seasonal restroom onsite.

- Description: Vista Bella Farm Orchard, Cidery and Apiary is a first generation farm nestled on the north shore in Malagash Nova Scotia. We started as a small with mixed vegetable farm using a community-supported agriculture model, with members purchasing shares in exchange for fresh produce each week from our farm. We ran this for five years and began to diversify by adding small fruit and larger fruit to our production practices. Eventually, we found that apples, pears and specific vegetable varieties were thriving, so we focused our efforts on growing these crops. Shortly after, we decided to purchase our neighbour’s established orchard as they were retiring.
We continued to experiment with our apples and figured out how to make the most out of what we were growing which included cidery production. We have just planted over 30 new cider varieties as well which brings our total apple variety count to about 110. We also grow dozens of varieties of plums, European pears, Asian pears, and a few cherries. We are committed to continuing to plant funky varieties to both celebrate diversity and to preserve these heirloom varieties for future generations.
Seasonal u-pick opens each September. Please visit our website for more information.

- Description: The Malagash Heritage Museum is a small, local museum devoted to preserving the history and heritage of the Malagash area and the first salt mine in Canada. We have exhibits of various aspects of local history – mining, farming, labour unions, schooling, tools of all kinds of trades applied in Malagash, and daily rural life through the community’s history, which includes oral recordings of long-term residents. We are very proud of Malagash’s claim to fame as being the first rock salt mine in the British Empire. It all began when a farmer desperately needed water, but he only succeeded in getting brine from his well in 1912. On Labour Day, September 2nd, 1918, the first rock salt was mined. After 41 years and a production of approximately 2 million tons of salt, the Malagash Salt mine was closed in March 1959.
Please drop by to review the history of the mine’s operation. The story is told by Malagash residents who remember growing up in the community and working in the salt mine. Their stories of exploring the mine are illustrated by black and white photos, documents, extracts from audio interviews and a unique video clip of mining underground.

- Description: Celebrate technology and innovation at Table Head, Glace Bay – the site of Guglielmo Marconi’s first permanent transatlantic wireless station. This historic event kicked off the age of global wireless communications, and changed the world forever.
Visit the exhibit and chat with expert guides to learn about this fascinating history and how it connects to technology today. Tap out a Morse code message, explore the foundations of the original aerial towers, and see where a vision of being always connected first began.
In December 1902, a wire antenna suspended from four giant wooden towers beamed an official wireless message across the Atlantic. The awe-inspiring view of the Atlantic Ocean adds to the experience, providing a picturesque backdrop that compliments the historical significance of Marconi’s wireless station location. Walk along the coastal trail to see what remains of the Table Head Station and marvel at the breathtaking view of the ocean. Stay awhile and enjoy the green space surrounding the museum with a family picnic.
Marconi National Historic Site is located within the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq.

- Description: The MareGold Retreat Centre is located on 32 acres of stunning oceanfront property in the village of Victoria Beach, 30 kilometres from the town of Annapolis Royal, in the southern Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.
The MareGold Centre is a seasonal, off-grid retreat and creative hub on the Bay of Fundy coast, dedicated to sustainable living, natural building, and hands-on learning. Nestled between ocean views and spruce forest, MareGold offers a peaceful, private setting for rest, reflection, and reconnection with the land.
We are home to a growing collection of handcrafted demonstration cabins, each designed with reclaimed materials and a strong sense of place. These cabins are not only places to stay—they’re part of a larger conversation about how we live, build, and create with care and intention.
Throughout the season, MareGold hosts small workshops in cabin-building, natural design, off-grid living, and herbalism. These immersive, creative gatherings are led by skilled makers, herbalists, and builders who share their craft and stories in a practical, supportive environment.
The MareGold Centre is a completely non-smoking property, including all cabins, trails, gardens, and both interior and exterior spaces.
This is a place for sunsets and stillness. Our guests come to unplug, reconnect with nature, and slow down. There are no TVs, and only one cabin has internet. It’s a rare chance to enjoy quiet, creativity, and deep rest—off the beaten path.
The MareGold Centre is not open to the public year-round. We welcome visitors only at special times—during workshops, events, and select retreat stays. This keeps the space intentional, grounded, and in tune with the natural world.
Classes/groups come together in the rustic meeting buildings, outdoor meeting spaces overlooking the Bay of Fundy and in other woodland natural settings.
Accommodations
Guests can choose from a variety of cabins built in private settings around the property. Each cabin is individually designed to align with the natural environment, whether situated on a cliff to take advantage of the ocean view or nestled in a wilderness sanctuary. Each cabin is individually designed and built using locally milled lumber and as many reclaimed materials as possible.
When not in use by retreat/program participants the cabins are offered for rent as weekend getaways or for a longer term lease.

- Description: “Cape Breton offers a surprisingly large number of wonderful quirky museums. My favourite, by far, was the Margaree Salmon Museum.” Alan Burdick, The New York Times.
Established in 1965, The Margaree Salmon Museum is located beside the Cabot Trail in Northeast Margaree, Cape Breton.
This historical gem connects the people of the area to its natural resources and highlights their contribution to the history of the famed Atlantic Salmon. Local guides made early angling icons famous through their river knowledge, often shared in innkeeper’s kitchens over home cooked meals. Or, even a wee dram. Salmon angling Icons like John Cosseboom regularly camped on the river’s banks, Lee Wulff caught his first Atlantic Salmon here and the angling gear of a 1930’s British spy hangs here. Their stories, and many others, plus numerous angling and non-angling artifacts from by-gone-years are housed here. Come visit and listen to our curators talk about them. You’ll come back.

Come explore Brier Island and the magnificent Bay of Fundy, home to inspiring marine life, rare bird species and the friendliest people you can meet. Finback whales, minke whales and harbour porpoises are the first to arrive in the spring. In June, the humpbacks begin to return; by late June they are abundant, and Atlantic white-sided dolphins are often seen. All tours are narrated by local naturalists, who are well-versed in the dozens of marine mammals and bird species that visit this important ecological region.
Mariner Cruises is owned and operated by Penny Graham, lifelong resident of Westport, Brier Island. The company has been offering unique whale watching and seabird adventures since 1994. Tours run from late June to early October. Tours are approximately 3 hours in length and sail at 8:30 am 12:30 pm and 4:30 pm daily, weather and passenger count permitting. Accommodation/whale watching packages are available.
Please note : Travel to Brier Island requires two separate ferry trips. Please check schedules and plan accordingly.

- Description: The Maritime Express Cider Co. is a cidery and taproom located in what was once the stone patio of an iconic railway hotel located in Kentville, Nova Scotia.
The taproom offers a place to purchase a large selection of our growlers and bottles, while also providing a place to sit down and grab a pint. Take time to appreciate that the building was once known as one of Canada’s most architecturally beautiful hotels. In a rush? Grab a bottle or growler of our cider to go. For the craft beer lovers, we also have a rotating selection of our favorite craft beer from around the province and beyond.
Small batch premium ciders
Keeping it small means that our cider maker can ensure that every drop reaches its full potential. Our small batch ciders are crafted from a custom blend of 100% Annapolis Valley apples. First, we hand select the perfect mix of apples ensuring that each batch is created with the highest quality fusion of sweet, sharp and bitter. Our selection is then locally pressed, cold fermented underneath the taproom’s stone floors, and brought directly to our taps for your enjoyment.
From 1930 to 1973, the Cornwallis Inn was a mecca for social events in Nova Scotia. As a Dominion Atlantic Railroad hotel, it represented the glory days of railway travel in Canada.
A formidable Tudoresque building of concrete and masonry construction, it was considered one of the most architecturally beautiful hotels in Canada. It contained ninety guest rooms, including four luxury suites, and ten sample rooms for commercial travellers.
This iconic building now known as the Main Street Station, is home to the Maritime Express Cider Co.’s retail and tasting room with a full gastropub kitchen.

During the spawn not only will you have a chance to bring one in, but to watch them during an active part of their season. Starting at only $375 a trip, I’m pleased to offer both fly and reel fishing, and bait when the season allows.
The communities of Stewiacke and Shubenacadie are close at hand and have family activities like mini golf, and home of a well known distillery. Pop down the road to Maitland to experience the tidal bore or into Truro to stroll through the famous Victoria Park.
Nothing is far away from Central Nova Scotia!

- Description: Come experience the site where Maud created her magical art!
The Maud Lewis Memorial Park is about 3 minutes west of Digby (Exit 26) on Highway 101 in Marshalltown. The site includes a colourful perennial garden, picnic table and benches, and three interpretive panels: one featuring Maud’s story and art legacy, a second about the restoration and conservation of her original home, and a third about the steel replica memorial.
The steel memorial replicates the actual size and shape of the original home in Marshalltown where Maud lived with her husband Everett from 1938 to 1970. Maud sold paintings from the small home, which was completely painted inside and out with folksy motifs, for $2 to $3 in the 1940s and 50s, and more as her fame grew in the 60s and 70s.
After her husband’s death in 1979, residents formed the Maud Lewis Painted House Society to save the house and then sold it to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (AGNS) in 1984. The AGNS took the house apart and carefully moved it to the gallery in Halifax where it remains on permanent display.

- Description: McCulloch House Museum & Genealogy Centre features local historical exhibits, and hosts many events throughout the season. The Research Centre has family and community histories, including vital stats, newspapers, and cemetery, census, and shipping records.
Beginning in 1773, hundreds of ships carrying thousands of Scottish immigrants began arriving in Pictou Harbour. One man, Dr. Thomas McCulloch, came ashore in 1803 and soon found himself leading a movement destined to change the lives of 19th-century Nova Scotians.
An immensely important figure in provincial and national history, McCulloch championed new ways of thinking about education, politics and religion. He lobbied for equal access to education and insisted that learning should include the study of science. His crusade changed Nova Scotia’s educational and political landscape and ultimately lead to the establishment of the province’s first public school.
In addition to his contributions to society, McCulloch was also an avid naturalist with direct ties to James Audubon. The museum features artifacts from McCulloch’s natural history collection, including a framed print given to McCulloch by Audubon.
Come visit the 200-year-old brick home where McCulloch and his wife, Isabella, raised their family. Explore the interactive exhibit that details how one man’s passion resulted in the creation of public education in Nova Scotia.
Parking on-site. Bus tours are welcome. Walking trail. Partial wheelchair access.

- Description: Memory Lane Heritage Village, located less than 1 hour from Halifax on Nova Scotia’s scenic Eastern Shore, is an award-winning living history village depicting life in rural Nova Scotia during the 1940s.
Stroll back in time to when pink fridges and green washing machines were the height of modern convenience. Feel the cool, damp sawdust in the Icehouse and explore the tools and machinery. Cuddle a kitten or take a ride in our bright red 1948 International Pick-up and immerse yourself in this era of transition, when oil lamps faded away to bare light bulbs, and the Second World War changed rural life forever.
Eighteen historic buildings await your visit with no ropes or barriers between you and the past. Rural industries such as gold mining, forestry, fishing and boat building are represented.
Antique vehicles include a 1928 Model A, a 1948 International pickup, and a 1949 Farmall Cub Tractor.
Children will enjoy our riddle-based “Heritage Hunt”, as well as the kittens, lambs, and chicks that are free range around the grounds.
Authentic 1940s cookhouse meals are served daily, including fresh soup, and our famous baked beans and Cookhouse brown bread. Picnic take out lunches are also available.
All buildings on site are wheelchair accessible (with the exception of the 2nd floor of the Webber House), although some entrances are narrow and can have a small bump where the ramp meets the heritage building. Staff are happy to assist with this.
There are accessible and gender-neutral washrooms in the Hosking General Store as well as in the Cookhouse.
The Gift Shop features 1940s-related products, as well as local crafts. Visa, MasterCard and Debit are accepted.
Memory Lane Heritage Village is Nova Scotia’s first 100% Solar-Powered Museum and also features a Level II EV Charging Station that includes both a Standard J-1772 outlet, and a Tesla outlet.
The Eastern Shore Archives is located within the Heritage Village and welcomes research requests by appointment. Information about archival services, resources, and collections can be found at easternshorearchives.ca.

- Description: Step back-in-time and imagine an ice-age landscape with mastodons, caribou, and giant beavers wandering over the tundra that covered Mi’kma’ki more than 11,000 years ago. Imagine communities of people who lived at the base of the Cobequid Mountains for more than a thousand years. This is the story of the Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail. The trail abounds with wildflowers, tall trees and running streams of today’s warmer climate and travels through moderate terrain and diverse forest cover. Interpretive panels, featuring the artwork of Dozay Christmas, guide you along the trail and share the ever-growing story of the Mi’kmaw ancestral Debert sites. Panels were created by the Mi’kmawey Debert Elders’ Advisory Council, who guide the overall development of the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre.
The trail’s rugged terrain does not accommodate wheeled vehicles. It is located fifteen minutes from Truro, just off Exit 13 on the Trans Canada Highway 104. Parking is available and temporary facilities accommodate visitors from May to October.

Our museum is a typical railway station of the era, built for the Dominion Atlantic Railway in 1917 following a disastrous fire that destroyed the original Middleton Railway Station in 1915. The museum features Dominion Atlantic Railway artifacts as well as antique D.A.R. station paraphernalia, photographs and railroad implements; historical books and manuscripts; and some model trains and railways. Outdoor features continue to be updated and enhanced and now include a 1905 steam locomotive, tender car and boxcar.
Bus and bicycle tours are welcome. Visit our website for more information and some photographs.
