Riverside Retreat of Mavillette

Take it easy at this tranquil riverside getaway. A self contained, open concept unit. Relax on the back deck to watch the birds and look for deer. Two sit on kayaks are available to use and there is a great firepit for enjoying quiet evenings under the stars. 1km to Nova Scotia famous Mavillette beach. The river in the back yard is great for swimming and leads right through the wetlands to the Ocean. Equipped with a mini fridge, hot plate, microwave/convection oven, toaster and bbq and all kitchen essentials.

Close to Mavilette Beach

We were greeted by Lee on arrival and shown to our home for the weekend. Nice clean studio type apartment with lots of amenities. Comfortable bed, and nice powerful shower. Pet friendly too which was a bonus Mavilette Beach is just a 3 minute drive away.

The space was exceptionally clean and tidy with everything I needed. And the property is beautiful with a fire pit and a pristine brook at the back of the property and kayaks available. The owners were friendly responsive to questions. I will definitely be back.

Nice clean relaxing spot. We will likely be returning. A bence at the riverside would be nice just to relax and a fan to circulate the air on hot days.

Funky Smell

The host was super nice so I feel bad writing this but I have to. The room we stayed in was super nice but there was a funky smell everywhere: towels, sheets, pillowcases, in the air. My girlfriend described it as pond water. It lingered on our clothes and bodies for a day afterward. The water also tasted a little funny.
