Guest Testimonials

We experienced two weeks holidays in a wonderful nice place.  The nature, sun, sea, fog, wind wildlife and many other things have fullfilled our days with peace and satisfaction. As a boatbuilder and naval architect, I have been very satisfied with the architecture of this house

WOW - this was the first word from our mouths as we drove down the driveway and saw this beautiful place!  We have had a wonderfully peaceful and serene week here at Castaway Ocean Lodge and the hot tub has been a god send and has enabled us to be outside enjoying the veiw even through the wind and the rain.  A fabulous haven that will live long in our memories!

As beautiful place as we've ever seen, and so quiet!  (if you don't count wind, flapping wings and chattering squirrels).  We loved Sand Hills and Shelburne - Chester was a bit too precious.  Nova Scotians were so friendly and outgoing.  But most of all we loved the unimpaired abiility here to relax and reflect.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful, cozy cottage.  The views are breathtaking and we really appreciated the fully equipped kitchen.  We hope to be back to this area very, very soon.

Description

This classical Italianate-style Victorian home was built in 1889 for a prosperous Blacksmith. Beautifully restored, this “Painted Lady” features ornate architectural highlights, a grand entranceway complete with sweeping staircase and stained glass window. Hardwood floors, a sunny breakfast nook, comfortable living and dining rooms complete the perfect picture.

The house has four bedrooms - two with queen size beds and two with single beds (two in one bedroom and one in the other). The Master bedroom features antique bedroom furniture. There are two four-piece bathrooms. The upstairs bath has an old-fashioned claw foot tub.

A stone’s throw from the harbour and a short drive to any number of deserted beaches, Bishop’s Bailiwick offers a taste of Nova Scotia living. There is a large back garden that is safe for playing. The guesthouse is about 100 meters up from the harbour where there is a boardwalk, a swimming area and park. The harbour is picturesque and very quiet. There is not a lot of traffic.

Take care not to be too captivated by the relaxed pace of life, beautiful scenery and convenience of town living, for once you have found Shelburne – Nova Scotia’s best-undiscovered destination – you won’t want to leave!

Location

Bishop’s Bailiwick is located in the heart of Shelburne’s Historic District. This small area is architecturally unique with at least fifteen original wooden buildings dating back to the 17th Century.

Shelburne is half way along the Lighthouse Route - about an hour and 15 minutes from Yarmouth and about 2 hours from Halifax. An hour and a half from Lunenburg, and about 2 hours to Digby, it is a great location to use as a base from which to explore the South Shore. One of the great things about staying in town is that you can walk to everything - grocery shops, excellent restaurants, gift shops, etc. There is also a marina where you can take sailing lessons. The nearest beach is at the Sandy Point Lighthouse, which is about 10 minutes away. There are other beaches in the area that are worth exploring.
