Guest Testimonials

I came to Nova Scotia to renew my soul. I couldn't have found a better place! The cottage was perfectly peaceful. What a beautiful place you have built.

Our first day here we open the curtains to be greeted by the view of a Great Blue Heron standing among the rocks of your little beach area! For our 20th anniversary what we were looking for was a place that offered quiet an seclusion away from very busy lives! Castaway Ocean Lodge was just the ticket! Quiet relaxing days of no particular schedule made this an anniversary to remember!

We loved this place. Everything came as promised, the host was very responsive and helpful with a ton of information on the surrounding area before we arrived. Cannot recommend Orchard Point enough, beyond such a beautiful home, the surrounding area is just so nice. Hope to be back next year!!

We experienced two weeks holidays in a wonderful nice place. The nature, sun, sea, fog, wind wildlife and many other things have fullfilled our days with peace and satisfaction. As a boatbuilder and naval architect, I have been very satisfied with the architecture of this house.
