Guest Testimonials

This cottage is one of the most luxurious and beautiful places we've stayed at and we've stay at a few! Great design only bettered by the view.
Pete and Jo
London, UK, 2010
 The cottage is a great getaway and in a wonderful location. There are so many different parts of the house to explore, and all very tastefully decorated. We loved the stack of games and the nook for watching movies, sitting in the window looking out at the apple trees and rabbits, and also the ease of navigating around the area from the house. We were in NS for a wedding, and it was a perfect launching pad for all activities over the weekend, and a lovely place to wake up and come back to at the end of the night! One tip: Make sure to pick up some provisions on your way, as there's not much in the area.

We're both architects so it was a particular pleasure  to stay in a cottage that we had seen published.  Its beautiful - we wish more people were building contemporary cottages, and the site is gorgeous!
P. Milne

We had a wonderful stay at Neptunes Rise. The location and house are even better in person. The house was very clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. It is perfectly located and close to many beaches. We were thrilled by how private the property was. We really enjoyed morning coffees on the deck looking at the water. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and the house was very well equipped for her. That was a lovely surprise. We would highly recommend staying here and look forward to going back!
