About this property
Welcome to Dolphin's Rest! Your Historic Oceanfront Getaway Awaits!
Welcome to Dolphin’s Rest! We’re the proud owners of this historic Halls Harbour home and we’re eager to share it with you! Just steps away from the shore, this ocean-front property offers magnificent views of the harbour and Fundy’s famous, ever-changing tides. We have lovingly renovated and refurbished this charming home, trying to stay true to its special character while creating a relaxing retreat for our guests. Make us your home away from home while you enjoy your Nova Scotia holiday.
Halls Harbour is a popular vacation destination. In addition to the draw of the ocean views and the extraordinary tides, there are many other attractions to enjoy in the area. The Harbour is home to a number of businesses including artists, antiques and dining. The Annapolis Valley boasts fine wineries, orchards and gardens. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the beautiful Cape Split Trail and Blomidon Provincial Park. A visit to Huntington Point to explore the Fairy Cottages and picnic at the beach is a perfect day trip for families. Treat yourself to fresh seafood at the Lobster Pound at the pier, a two minute walk from Dolphin's Rest or check out the local restaurants in the Annapolis Valley. Of course, you always have the option of cooking for yourself in the fully supplied kitchen and spending your time relaxing at Dolphin’s Rest. Bring some of that famous Annapolis Valley wine home with you and sip it while you enjoy the ocean breezes and incomparable views.

About the host
Hosted by Dave Wever
Diane and I are from Alberta, we love spending time with our children and grand babies, love to travel and have a passion for leading and guiding the children we teach every day. I love being a host because it allows us to share what we have been blessed with with others from all over the world.
Why they chose this property
Halls Harbour is a little piece of paradise. Hard to describe, when you come you will understand why we say this.
What makes this property unique
Being right on the shore of the Bay of Fundy, one has access to experiencing the highest tides in the world right from our backyard. Dolphin's Rest is a 170 year old home that was once a sea captain's home, a pub and a hotel. And what can I say about Halls's Harbour? A truly special place in Nova Scotia and Canada.
