Guest TestimonialsWe're both architects so it was a particular pleasure to stay in a cottage that we had seen published. Its beautiful - we wish more people were building contemporary cottages, and the site is gorgeous!
Castaway Ocean Lodge is away from it all in the most tranquill, idyllic spot in Nova Scotia! Our first view of your beautiful home was breathtaking and we've enjoyed every minute. Watching humming birds feeding, woodpeckers on the sateliite dish and Ospreys has been briliant. We've explored hidden coves and inlets from Peggy's Cove right dwon the South Shore to Yarmouth. We also visited Digby; the scallops were great! Driving through Kejimkujik we saw deer. The weather has been so good to us too; sunshing every day apart from Monday and even then it was really warm. Thank you so much.
This place is incredibly beautiful. Summerset Cottage is spotless, modern and beautifully decorated. It has everything you’re likely to need. It takes only 3 minutes to walk to Summerville Beach. You can hear the waves rolling onto the beach from the house. It’s incredible. I’d love to go back again.
Can't remember a vacation where we were less ready or willing to pack up and go home! This is a fabulous cottage and a truly beautiful setting. We have been so comfortable and happy here. Although we have lived a total of more than 60 years in Nova Scotia, we had never truly appreciated the beauty and variety of this part of the South Shore before. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely summer home.

Liverpool
Brightly coloured buildings on Liverpool's main street.
Max and Sam love this pirate ship play ground in Liverpool.
DescriptionHistory:Originally a Mi'kmaq settlement, the Town of Liverpool was founded in 1759 by the New England Planters. During its heyday, between 1749 and 1812, the town was a hot bed of pirates and privateers. Privateers were given permission from the crown to seize enemy ships and their cargoes. The most famous of these were the Rover, the Lucy and the Liverpool Packet. Every Canada Day weekend (July 1st) Liverpool hosts the Privateer Days - a lively festival that celebrates the town's "privateering" history. Events include boat races, walking tours, a historical reenactment, a rum run, street parade, live music and fireworks. There are a couple of interesting museums in Liverpool. The Hank Snow Country Music centre features some of Hanks' personal memorabilia, including his 1947 convertible Cadillac. The Rossignol Cultural Centre appeals to kids of all ages. The Guide Sports, Hunting, Fishing and Mi'Kmaq Museum features images and artifacts of early guiding and native life. There are folk art, outhouse and apothecary museums. The Wildlife Museum has an 18-foot giraffe, musk ox, polar bear, wolf, caribou and other taxidermies. Outside there are teepees, an early settler's cabin, a yurt and a re-creation of Maude Lewis' tiny house. Fort Point Lighthouse park is worth a visit. The park is open year-round with picnic tables, interpretive panels and a scenic view of Liverpool Harbour and Coffin Island Lighthouse. From mid-May to mid-October, costumed interpreters meet visitors, there is an audiovisual presentation by a previous light keeper's son, as well as a gift shop, viewing binoculars, washrooms, and parking. Guided tours of Liverpool are available from Fort Point Lighthouse Park. Brochures are available from the Queens County Museum and the Visitor Information Centre. If you are traveling with children, Liverpool has an excellent play ground on the waterfront. LocationThe closest cottages to Liverpool are Moose Harbour View Cottage which is about a 7 - 10 minute drive from the center of town. Also close by are Summerset Cottage, Harbour Tide House and Sea Star Cottage.AddressLiverpool, Nova ScotiaGoogle Map |
