CHECKING IN: Warm Welcomes & Red Wine by DASHBOARD LIVING

At Oceanstone Resort and Spa, tranquility awaits you in a cozy room adorned with soft yellow walls that radiate warmth and calm. The gentle crackle of a small wood-burning stove set on a tiled hearth adds to the comforting ambiance, inviting you to unwind and relax. Nearby, a quaint chair offers an inviting spot next to beautifully framed maps and captivating pictures that whisper tales of adventure. A charming wooden table with a chair completes the space, perfect for quiet contemplation or journaling moments of peace. Through the open door, step out onto a serene patio that leads to lush gardens adorned with magnificent evergreen trees. These majestic sentinels stand tall under an expansive sky, offering privacy and serenity while shaded nooks beckon you to linger longer in nature’s embrace. An elegant name sign gently sways as if welcoming every visitor with its subtle presence in this soothing haven where time seems suspended.

Regardless of which direction you come from, the drive to Oceanstone is stunning. Winding roads, rocky coasts and crashing waves set the tone that is classically Nova Scotia. If this is your first visit to the area, leaving time to visit the famous Peggy’s Cove is an obvious no-brainer. Despite it’s popularity among tourists and locals alike, it’s worth the visit and the views are so spectacular they’re nearly overwhelming.

Arriving at Oceanstone, just minutes from Peggy’s Cove, we were greeted by warm welcomes, a quick overview of the property and a reminder that dinner reservations had been made for us on site at the Rhubarb Restaurant. You can read all about our 7 course Chef’s tasting here. We wandered around the main building briefly before heading down to our cottage – The Grey Owl.
