Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
Steeped in history and 90 minutes from Halifax, Port Medway is a hidden gem on Nova Scotiaâs South Shore.
Some fifteen years ago, Mark and I visited the enchanting village of Port Medway for the first time, and later made the area our second home. Frequent evening walks always led us down to the shore, past the quiet, crumbling, once grand Idle Hour. Two years ago, we had the opportunity to purchase the property we had always admired, and I got busy with the restoration.
We hope you enjoy the newly done period interiors, squeaky clean bathrooms, quiet corners, and welcoming porches that invite you to step back in time to a simpler, more tranquil life †one where you may settle awhile, unwind and recharge.
