Guest Testimonials

Maybe we are the first Sandy Lane cottage renters to write about this beautiful cottage, if so, I'll write some things I'm sure will become redundent soon. What a breathless perfect place. The building, views, breeze, wildlife and BEACH! WOW! It is humbling to experience a place where such care and passion has been placed to create a sanctuary in a rare and delicate envrionment. Thanks to the owners and Sandy Lane for the wonderful opportunity to experience it!

Just finished one fantastic week with great weather! It seems this cottage is immune to fog. Carter's Beach was visited almost daily. Our 2 year old loved the cold water. Had a great meal at the Quarter Deck Restaurant! The cottage was very comfortable, clean and bright. We'd highly recommend it. Daily trips to surrounding towns were great; Shelburne, Lunenburg, Liverpool. Lot's of small museums to see. The Rossignol Cultural Center was quirky but surprisingly satisfiying. Fabulous Memories!

 A fabulous two week getaway
We had a fabulous two week vacation. It was a shot in the dark because we had no prior information on the site other than what was provided. We were not disappointed. Castaway Ocean Lodge is large and comfortable. It has a well equipped kitchen and the furnishings are top notch. The site is somewhat secluded that gives privacy with access to the ocean and a very good view. There is an excellent protected bay for kayaking and a good hot tub to relax in after a day on the water.

Highly recommended! We found Moose Harbour cottage to be a fantastic base for exploring the surrounding area, including many dog friendly, beautiful, sandy beaches.
 
The cottage was quaint, very clean, and in a great location with water views.
 
Early risers will also be treated with amazing sunrise views through the living room picture window, or from outside.
 
Booking and check in process was quick and easy, and we received a nice, detailed welcome email with a lot of helpful info about the house and the area.
 
Overall, a great rental experience for us.

Salvages Lighthouse

The Salvages Lighthouse or Halfmoons Lighthouse is visible on a clear day from the Blanche Beach

Description

The Salvages are a line of rocks, nearly 3 kilometers long situated on the southern side of the approach to Negro Harbour.  Locally, the rocks are know as The Halfmoons, due to the crescent-shaped arrangement of some of the rocks. 

As the southeast side of the rocks are steep, approaching them at night or during thick weather is a dangerous undertaking.  In 1915 a fog alarm was built upon a rock near the southern end of The Salvages that rose approximately 3 meters out of the sea. 

Because of its exposed location, the fog alarm building was built of concrete with walls 41 centimeters thick to withstand the pounding of the North Atlantic. 

Thank you to the Lighthouse Friends web site for this information.  Please visit their web site for more information about the light keepers.
