Location and view say it all for this motel. You can watch gorgeous sunsets right from your room or from the chairs located in the back by the water. Room was clean, spacious, and relaxing. Great towels. And just down the road from Peggy’s Cove. It was perfect!

Love it!

We stayed in one of the hotel rooms, with a queen bed. The rooms are furnished with furniture that is quite old and mismatched, but if you can get past this, it is a great place. It was super clean, and the bathroom feels a bit more modern than the rest of the room. The bed was super comfy with a thick, modern duvet/doona- much better than the other budget hotels we have been staying in. The view is lovely, even from the motel rooms.

Great location with a lovely view. Ideal for Peggy’s Cove. Room was fine at a reasonable price. Comfortable beds, microwave and fridge in the room. Coffee machine was a bit temperamental but we managed. Bathroom was OK with complimentary toiletries. There is a small shop down the road that sells alcohol. It was lovely to sit outside our room on Adirondack chairs and listen to the waves lapping. L’Arcadie cafe over the road was great for breakfast. All in all pretty good

The most beautiful scenery ever. The sunset was incredible. Super close to the lighthouse. We were able to visit in the evening and again in the morning. Rooms are nicely updated. Smart TV was a big hit with our teens. Clean, quiet, parking right outside the door. Coffee on the balcony was a nice treat. Only con was the price. It was quite expensive for a night.
