Guest Testimonials

A fantastic place! The cottage is a great location for walking or touring. The house and the views surpassed our expectations. Very friendly people. We'll be back.

This property is amazing. It is private and secluded but near to amenities in Barrington Passage. The house was very comfortable and fully equipped. We hated to leave and will be back again in the future!

The cottage is a great getaway and in a wonderful location. There are so many different parts of the house to explore, and all very tastefully decorated. We loved the stack of games and the nook for watching movies, sitting in the window looking out at the apple trees and rabbits, and also the ease of navigating around the area from the house. We were in NS for a wedding, and it was a perfect launching pad for all activities over the weekend, and a lovely place to wake up and come back to at the end of the night! One tip: Make sure to pick up some provisions on your way, as there's not much in the area.

Hurricane Bill - worth the price of admission, swirling wins and waves and the cottage stood like a glass fortress.

Lunenburg

Sam, Max and I spent a day in Lunenburg exploring the Fisheries Museum and the harbour front.

Tall Ships are moored in Lunenburg.

This rocking Dory was a huge hit with my two young fishermen.

The Bluenose II is a replica of the famous Bluenose Schooner - the celebrated racing ship and hard-working fishing vessel, that held the International Fisherman's Trophy for 17 years in a row. (1921-1938)

Description

Lunenburg is one of the best surviving examples of a planned British colonial settlement in North America. Founded and established in 1753, the town is named in honour of the Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg who later became King George II of England in 1727. Lunenburg has retained its original layout and overall appearance, based on a rectangular grid pattern drawn up in the home country. The plans were created without regard to local topography, which is why Lunenburg's streets are always straight and sometimes dizzyingly steep. If you are of limited mobility or are pushing a heavy stroller, it may be too much for you. Historic homes and buildings that date back to the 1700s have been renovated and now house restaurants, shops and galleries. The extraordinary preservation of the Town's architecture earned it the designation of an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. There is plenty to do in Lunenburg. Go for a horse and buggy ride around the town or take a walking tour; have a lobster lunch or take a fishing charter. Make sure you set aside time to visit the Fisheries Museum. There are plenty of excellent restaurants.

Location

Lunenburg is approximately an hour and a half drive from Shelburne (125 km/78 miles) a 50 minute drive from Liverpool (60 km/38 miles) and an hour and 15 minutes from Halifax (95 km/60 miles).
