Guest TestimonialsWe enjoyed our stay very much at the Castaway Ocean Lodge with a beautiful vista. The perfect place for an adirondack family to unwind for a week. This was our first visit to Nova Scotia. We viewed an eagle soaring! A perfect place for Kayaks and hot tub.Thank you Helen and John.
Nestled in a beautiful location and only a short walk from Carter's beach (which looks almost tropical). Sea Star Cottage is perfect for honeymooners or a large family. Would definitely recommend it for a relaxing and refreshing vacation!
We fell in love with the ocean and the family of seals. This is a perfect spot to get away and relax. Despite the lengthy drive, we highly recommend going whale watching on Brier Island in the Zodiacs. Francis Louis House is a very cozy and comfortable cottage. We would love to retire here. Thank you for letting us stay here!
Beach Heaven is a beautiful spot, just steps to the beach, and amazing views. Very comfortable, and the kitchen is super well equipped which was great for us since we love cooking. Would not hesitate to stay again |
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 |
