About this property

Riverside Retreat of Mavillette

  • Take it easy at this tranquil riverside getaway. Although it is attached to the main house it is 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 fire pit 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.

Great location - close to the beach (2 min drive) and to near by towns for shopping and food. Kayaks was a nice touch! The place was clean and well stocked. Unfortunately, we did notice an odour throughout the stay. We found that by opening windows, running the fan and using a candle, we were able to reduce it.

The backyard and path to the river were nice, very picturesque. The riverside dock is a wonderful spot to sit and relax, have your morning coffee or sip a drink in the evening. Lots of space in the apartment for four people. Kitchen was well stocked, the coffee was good.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. Lee was so kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He made us feel very welcome with our big dog and not at all a bother. The accommodation is well cared for and had everything we needed. Super close to a beautiful beach. And to top it off we were able to enjoy the kayaks that Lee offered. I would highly recommend.

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.

Beautiful and cozy little apartment close to Mavillette beach. Hosts even remembered us from last year and addressed a few recommendations we had shared at that time. Extra perks were the fresh vegetables, herbs, and access to the clothesline!

We enjoyed our stay. After being out and about all day it was nice to come back to a place that felt like home.
