Our accommodations include seven one-bedroom or two-bedroom (two-bath) cottages or motel-style rooms. This is an oceanfront property, with a gravel beach for swimming or beachcombing. One cottage is just 20 feet from the ocean. Four units have kitchenettes equipped with all the basics; all have air conditioning, cable TV, free Wi-Fi and fire bins. Each has a patio or deck, most with spectacular views of the ocean and beautiful sunsets over Kelly’s Mountain. The property has a basketball hoop, waterside benches, flower gardens, a wharf to fish from, a small canteen/gift shop, and a laundromat. We are pet-friendly. Located in Big Bras d’Or, 20 minutes from the Cabot Trail, 35 minutes from Baddeck, 20 minutes from North Sydney and Nfld Ferry, 60 minutes from Louisbourg.
We are in the Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve, and central for day trips to major attractions. Boat tours daily to see puffins, seals, and eagles are operated from the same site.
