Guest Testimonials

Great house! Great location! Beautiful beach! Thanks for the wonderful stay at Sea Star Cottage.

A Hidden Gem

Red Head Retreat is remote enough to make you feel as though you "got away" and close enough to historic attractions and pristine beaches to guarantee a terrific stay rain or shine. I chose this cottage for my ability to bring my pets and for its proximity to the shore line. I would come back in a heart beat. The open concept and decor are modern and homey. The beds and furniture are comfortable. There are snowshoe hares, deer and even porcupines to keep you entertained. I was warned about ticks which are many this year. I simply made sure my cats had the proper treatments and kept an eye on their fur. We had no mishaps. Minor thoughts of improvement would be a fan in the master bedroom, additional outdoor chairs and a supply of fresh chopped wood. Everything else was wonderful. Thank you to Sandy Lane for your attention to detail and to the owner for sharing their cottage.

By far one of the best cottages ever rented. We stayed Labor Day weekend and it was an absolutely dream. The weather was perfect. We got to enjoy the beach most days and the evenings were perfect weather for the hot tub and sauna. We knew at the time of booking we would love Beach Heaven. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil/pot/pan you would need. There were things we forgot to bring and they had it there! The detail they’ve put into this place truly made our stay amazing. We will for sure be back :)

We have enjoyed a very relaxing week in Moose Harbour Cottage. It was a great base for us to explore Nova Scotia and we have got lots of good memiories and photos to take home with us. You have managed to make our first trip to Canada amazing and we are already planning when we might be able to come back.

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).
