If you like a remote place with a lot of privacy and beautiful views, this is the place to go to. We are glad we found it and left it behind with pain in our heart.

Haven at Cole Harbour
What an amazing location, right on the water. The sound of the waves was wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay. Our only issue was that the lovely chairs were uncomfortable to sit in for any length of time.

Exceeded expectations!
Lovely, lovely stay here. The cottage sits at ocean's edge with a long dock out above the water. We had a seal visit us every day and two bald eagles around the corner. Very well maintained selection of trails to a shared beach, through the mossy spruce woods, along mowed paths to a sea lookout. The cottage was clean, cozy and perfect for our family of four and our dog! Highly recommend the 20 minute drive to Tor Bay Provincial Park. Gorgeous sandy beaches, waves, rocks to climb, seals, very remote and secluded. Would love to return. A sweet and memorable family vacation with our two college *kids*. We all loved it.

Most beautiful place in the world! Right by the ocean with amazing sunrise. Very cute house and well equipped. Just make sure you pack everything you need ahead because there is nothing close by. You have to drive about 45 minutes to closest stores in the city of Guysborough.
