A memorable and peaceful stay. This place is a rare gem. The building is well-cared for. Stephanie and the gentleman there were very kind and accommodating. Entering the room, we were met with a cozy, clean space and an incredibly picturesque view of the rocky coast and ocean (quite foggy at times, but still beautiful). Our room had a deck overlooking a huge granite slab in the rear of the property that was topped with a row of Adirondack chairs. Next door was a worn, but working dock and fishing shanty. Within 10-20 minutes away were a small handful of good food spots and scenic places like the Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. Our only critiques would be: lack of useful shelving/surfaces in the bathroom, no mirror outside the bathroom, and no light above the 'kitchenette' countertop. We loved this room and will definitely return for a longer stay.

The rooms were awesome, convenient to Swiss Air memorial and Peggy’s Cove. Sitting on the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and watching the ocean life and beautiful sunsets was spectacular. I believe each room has the same incredible ocean view. Worth every penny!

Was very clean...not much in way of amenities but its convenient to Peggys Cove. Office is not well marked so took a minute to find it. Office staff was very friendly and helpful. They do not allow pets but service animals are welcome. If you are not Canadian and your country doesn't require registration for service dogs you may be in for a hard time in Canada as they require documentation.

The ocean view is wonderful!The location is very close to Peggy’s Cove which is convenient. The rooms were clean and it was quiet. Personally, I found the room rate to be expensive but I imagine it’s because of the view. Also, I thought I had booked a room with a balcony but found out this was not the case once I arrived!

Motel near Peggy’s Cove
This is a Motel! Haven’t stayed in a motel since 1980. It was very well maintained and clean. Rather expensive. Some little things could be better…towels could smell better, more space in bathroom to put cosmetics, etc.,no closet or desk in room, only one table in a dark corner of the room with no lighting . Good view from the window of the shoreline .

Owner is very kind wait our late check in. Very quiet. Although building was built in 1960, it is historic site, water and inside are very clean and comfortable. 3 minutes driving distance to Peggy Cove which is my favorite spot to visit. People there are very friend. I will recommend others to live in India harbour this hotel. Thanks.
