Guest Testimonials Just Perfect !!!
My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with Orchard Point. It was so lovely, with a stunning setting and a perfect location. The cottage itself was steeped in history but with all the modern amenities you expect.
We have spent the last two weeks in this wonderful cottage. It's old world charm and character, heightened by the scenic view have made for a relaxing vacation. We also enjoyed the wild blueberries! There were many visits by deer; a doe and 2 fawns!

DescriptionPort Medway is a picturesque fishing village overlooking the Medway Harbour. Originally called “Port Moltare” by French pioneers. In 1760, English speaking fishermen settled in the area; changed the name to Port Medway and helped to develop the village into a thriving shipping community. Cargoes of salted and dried fish were shipped to the United States, Caribbean and South America. Lumber from the sawmills of Greenfield, Charleston and Mill Village were loaded on ships and sailed to foreign ports. There were approximately twenty families resident in the settlement who erected a Baptist Meeting House and a schoolhouse. Both of these buildings have been preserved and serve important functions in the village. Today the town is a vibrant community that supports a local fishing industry and plays host to an annual Literary festival. The Port Medway Readers’ Festival was founded in 2002 by Cynthia Wine and Philip Slayton continuing the tradition of the “Tennysonian Reading Circle”, started by the ladies of Port Medway in 1903. Past authors include Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Linden McIntyre, Donna Morrissey and many other award-winning writers reading from their latest works. The festival takes place during the months of July and August with a variety of readings all held at the Old Meeting House – the original Baptist Meeting House. The original Medway Head Lighthouse has been preserved and is now a charming Lighthouse Park with a picnic area, walking paths and an exhibit space. AddressPort Medway, Nova ScotiaGoogle Map |
