Your hostess, Louise Orpin
Located near Barrington (the lobster capital of Nova Scotia) this beautiful, renovated guesthouse is situated in Clarks Harbour on Cape Sable Island. The island is pristine, with wide beaches, blue, clear water and fresh, ocean air. Clarks Harbour is on the famous Lighthouse Route that meanders the South Shore of the province. Starting in Halifax and Peggy's Cove, the Lighthouse Route ends, appropriately, at one of Nova Scotia's most dramatic and historically significant lighthouses. The Yarmouth Light stands on the rocky point of Cape Forchu, named by Samuel de Champlain in 1604. Quiet and secluded, Harbour Guesthouse is an ideal spot to stay along the route. The two story, Cape Cod style home, is original to the island and has been restored to a modern, dream guesthouse. Gorgeous, open plan interiors with large kitchen, living and dining and bath/laundry on main floor. The second floor features two cozy bedrooms and large queen suite overlooking the ocean and harbour.
Hosting visitors since 2016, our guesthouse is newly renovated to introduce visitors to beautiful Cape Sable Island and the scenic South Shore area of Nova Scotia. About me: I love my cat Oliver, cooking and hosting guests, gardening, reading and travelling. I'm an inveterate explorer too and manage my travel company in India where I spend my winters. Let me help you get the most out of your visit - I can recommend top sites in Nova Scotia, off-the-beaten-track experiences and plan a personal trip to suit your timing and interests.
Welcome to Harbour Guesthouse on beautiful Cape Sable Island! Stay the night and enjoy the peaceful ocean surroundings - endless beaches await for walking, bird watching or collecting beach glass. Nearby activities are surfing  at uncrowded "secret" spots, wineries, kayaking, whale watching or exploring the historic heritage of the South Shore. Take a day trip to Shelburne, Yarmouth, Digby, Anapolis Royal or Unesco site, Lunenburg. French Acadian historic site in Pubnico has been established since 1653 - the oldest in Canada.
