Guest TestimonialsCastaway Ocean Lodge is a lovely place to spend our week here in Nova Scotia.! The view of the harbour is spectacular. We've enjoyed a glorious week of Indian Summer traveling along the lighthouse trail. A few favourite slights were Peggy's Cove and Mahone Bay and the Saturday morning Farmer's Market in Halifax. Enjoying a soak in the hot tub after driving all day was so relaxing. Great week!
We've totally enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is so lovely and the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. We want to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to use your home this past week. We did the lighthouse tour from Yarmouth to Lockeport. We did the whale watching tour and saw 2 humpback whales and one Minke.
Thank you for a wonderful vacation at your cottage. This was our first visit to this part of beautiful Nova Scotia. We loved Summerville and Carter's beaches. Visit them early in your stay! The Quarterdeck restaurant is superb-excellent food and reasonable prices. Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Peggy's Cove were worthwhile trips. we had amazing weather (rained only one day during the week.) The cottage was very comfortable and lacked only a fire pit for campfires. We would stay again!

DescriptionWith a population of under seven hundred people, Lockeport is a small town in a spectacular setting. Settled in the 1700's, the town relies on the fishing industry for its livelihood. Numerous wharves provide plenty of photographic opportunities of working boats as well as a chance to talk to some of the hardy folk that fish on them.The long stretch of white sand that forms the outer edge of Lockeport's causeway is better known as Crescent Beach. At one end of the beach is the Crescent Beach Centre. With a tourist information center, snack bar, washrooms and gift shop, the Centre is a welcome pit stop during a full day on this lively kid-friendly beach. Crescent Beach Centre organizes a number of different activities: Beach parties, Sand Scultpure contests, and an annual Sea Derby. For the history buff - Nova Scotia's only Registered Historic Streetscape is worth investigating. Made up of five houses built by descendants of Jonathan Locke between 1836 and 1876, the houses offer an interesting cross section of historical architecture with excellent examples of Colonial, Georgian and Victorian styles. A walking-tour guidebook is available at the Little School Museum. The museum has in its collection a variety of artifacts relating to early life in the community, a replica of an early school room and a marine room. If you are coming with children and don't want to spend the whole day on the beach, there is a great playground in the centre of town. AddressLockeport, Nova ScotiaGoogle Map |

I had a very enjoyable and peaceful stay.
Elm Tree Cottage has all the comforts that one would need for a decent stay. I was there for nearly 3 weeks and enjoyed coming back in the evening to this cosy little cottage. It is nicely decorated, great shower, comfortable bed, good kitchen and good internet. The owners live nearby such that if anything is needed (like losing the key) they are there to provide it.
