Cottage 7 is a charming two-bedroom oceanview cottage designed for comfortable stays for couples, families, or small groups. Located at Wilson’s Coastal Club on beautiful St. Margaret’s Bay, the cottage offers a relaxed coastal setting just 25 minutes from Halifax.

Guests can enjoy the private beach, coastal sunsets, and peaceful waterfront atmosphere that make Wilson’s Coastal Club a unique retreat on Nova Scotia’s South Shore.

Inside, the cottage features vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and arched entryways, giving the space a warm and rustic coastal character. The open living area is bright and welcoming, with large windows that bring in natural light and ocean views. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and a cozy atmosphere, especially during cooler months.

The loft-style primary bedroom features a king bed and a private balcony, creating a peaceful space to relax and take in the coastal surroundings. The lower-level bedroom includes a queen bed, offering comfortable accommodations for additional guests.

Guests will also enjoy:
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Private deck with outdoor seating
• Propane BBQ (propane provided)
• Private fire pit
• Wi-Fi and internet TV

The bathroom includes a tub and shower combination.

As part of Wilson’s Coastal Club, guests staying in Cottage 7 also enjoy access to our private waterfront grounds, guest-only beach, and shared resort amenities.

Although Wilson’s Coastal Club is a small cottage resort, each cottage is privately spaced across the property, allowing guests to enjoy a peaceful and relaxed coastal setting.

Wood-Fired Hot Tub (Optional Add-On);
Guests have the option to add a private wood-fired saltwater hot tub to their stay. This unique experience is available year-round.

To use the hot tub, guests must contact us in advance, sign a waiver, and provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice for preparation. The hot tub cannot be added or cancelled on the day of check-in.

Each tub is drained, cleaned, and refilled with fresh saltwater pumped directly from the ocean for every reservation, then reheated from ocean temperatures that can be as low as 35°F. Preparation typically takes 4–7 hours.

Once prepared, guests maintain the heat of the hot tub using the firebox for the remainder of their stay.

Hot Tub Add-On Fee
$65 + tax (one-time fee)

Includes preparation, initial heating to approximately 100°F, one tote of firewood, and access to the shared oceanfront sauna during your stay.

Sauna & Firewood:
Our wood-fired oceanfront sauna is shared with other cottages and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

Guests who add the hot tub automatically receive access to the sauna during their stay.

Guests who prefer sauna-only access may do so by purchasing a tote of firewood for $15 + tax per session and signing the required waiver.

Additional firewood can be purchased at the office during office hours (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily, excluding holidays).

Gear Rentals (Seasonal – Additional Cost):
Outdoor gear rentals are available during office hours, including:

• E-Bikes: $25 + tax per day (10:30 AM – 4:00 PM)
• Stand-Up Paddle Boards: $15 + tax per hour
• Kayaks: $15 + tax per hour

Availability is seasonal and weather dependent.

Pets:
Pets are welcome. A $50 + tax pet fee per pet applies (2 max).

Additional Guests:
For one-night reservations, no additional guests are permitted on site beyond the number listed in the booking.

On-Site Laundry:
Coin-operated washer and dryer are available for guest use on a seasonal basis. Please message prior to your stay to confirm availability.

We had such a lovely stay here and would definitely return again! Firstly, the cottages are dog-friendly, which is so fantastic for those traveling with their pups! The cottage was so clean and bright and was well stocked in terms of kitchen utensils, pots, etc. The hosts and employees were all so friendly and even accommodated an earlier check-in so we could beat the snow. The view each morning from the loft in cottage 7 is perfection, and we so enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace each night. Can't recommend this place enough for a get-away and only 25 minutes drive from Halifax!

The property was lovely. Kitchen fully equipped! Bathtub was huge! View of waterfront perfect. Best part was the private wood heated salt water hot tub. Just what we needed after a long day of visiting all the amazing sites.

An unbelievable experience

We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing stay. The location was clean, tidy, and exceptionally situated. The cottage came fully prepared, and truly felt like home. The check in was smooth, the run down was straight forward, and the hosts were welcoming and extremely inviting. Beyond pleased with our stay, and will be looking forward to future visits

Cottage is quite old, architecturally interesting but so much dust and dirt in the upstairs loft - layers of dust on the ceiling fan blades they weren’t safe to turn on and cobwebs hanging from all the wooden beams, staff were very nice and helpful/attentive. We paid for the hot tub but sadly there was too much debris in it to feel safe.

The cabin and location is awesome! We loved the salt water hot tub. The first night we added wood and didn’t check the temperature and it was too hot to go in. So we went in the next morning. The cabin needs pot holders but we got away with using a tea towel to pull hot pans out of the oven. Love the view from the cabin of the ocean. And the upstairs view was also so beautiful!!! A problem we had is waiting for a staff meeting to be done to rent the kayaks and bikes. The office was supposed to open at 10am but staff meeting didn’t get out until 10:50 so needed to wait 50 mins to talk to reception to book kayaks. The maintenance man did help us but he didn’t have a key to unlock kayak. After a 50 minute wait we got to go out on the ocean. I’m giving 5 stars because they gave us the rentals for free. The other problem we encountered was slow to no wifi for the entire 7 day stay. They couldn’t get someone to check it out because of the long weekend. We managed the week by going on the deck and getting coverage out there and also got better coverage upstairs. Loved everything. So beautiful there.
