The accommodation we originally booked fell through, but Sue and John helped us out by allowing us to stay at the rate we expected to pay at the other place, which was lower than theirs, very nice indeed. The chalet exceeded our expectations, it is absolutely lovely. Wonderful view of the Bay from upstairs (bedrooms and bathroom are downstairs, living... More

Thanks to lovely little houses situated by the beach, furnished and decorated with an eye for detail, we had a wonderful stay at driftwood retreat . Sue and John were wonderful and using the laundry facility for free was an extra bonus for us. The quietness in the morning over the bay was magic, the little fog on our departure... More

Spotlessly clean, Charming decor. Also visited the park at the end of the road. We had time for a pretty circle walk over the headland and on to the beach back to our starting point, Advocate Harbour is close to New Brunswick, not so close to the rest of Nova Scotia so a long drive from Halifax, for instance.

We drifted on to Advocate Harbour after a wonderful day at Joggins (do not pass Joggins on the way to Advocate Harbour.) I wish we had added another day or two more to stay at the Driftwood. The chalet was awesome! The folks were great. The area is wonderful for beach walking. The chalet kitchenette had everything you need to... More

Our "group of 7" traveled here over the weekend April 20-22 to celebrate our second annual Broads 'n Dogs get-together. Prior to arriving, arrangements and details were worked out ever-so-smoothly with Su', the owner. We rented two chalets and everyone was impressed with the condition of them: clean, welcoming, comfortable, attractive, perfect, charming ... just a few adjectives used to... More

We had a lovely time at the Driftwood Park Retreat. The chalets are cozy, clean, and well equipped. We even had a hot tub to use which was wonderful since our boys had just ran in the "Not Since Moses" kid's race earlier in the day. We had planned to enjoy the beach bonfire at night but were so tired... More

A good friend and I had the pleasure of staying at these lovely, well designed chalets in Oct. 2011. Su' and John were very welcoming and the two bedroom chalet turned out to perfectly situated and suited to our needs. The chalet itself was immaculate and fully loaded with all of the cooking and other equipment we required (including the... More

Marvellous location, great facilities and a friendly pair of hosts. We had a marvellous 4 days here in June blessed with good weather. We walked the whole length of the beach and played some beach cricket using stones and driftwood. We also explored Cape Chignecto Park and Cape D'Or. Thoroughly recommended!

This was our favorite place on a 2 weeks trip through Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and PEI. The location is a perfect combination of things to do and total relaxation. The cabins are really more like beach condos....very nice, comfortable, and enticing. We tried to stay another day, but they were (understandably) already booked! Our biggest mistake was not booking... More
