About

Situated on the Bras D’Or Lakes, in the Village of St. Peter’s, minutes from the Historical Canal where the lake meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Joyce’s Motel and Cottages is a cozy retreat. 


​We offer a mixture of accommodations which include motel rooms and single cabins, both just steps away from the lake shore. Tucked a little deeper into the property, you will find our two bedroom housekeeping cottages, facing the children’s play area but elevated to overlooking the lake waters.

​Our family-friendly courtyard offers a playground, swimming pool, picnic area and large gazebo prefect for relaxing. Once the sun goes down you can gather round our central fire pit to enjoy some s’mores or roasted marshmallows. An area perfect for family gatherings and reunions.
