Have a holiday in nova scotia and stay at the red roof!

Holiday in Nova Scotia, Do Nothing!

Surrender to the art of doing nothing. When you holiday in Nova Scotia, extraordinary experiences can start at the Red Roof retreat. Doing nothing sounds easy. The reality is most people fail at doing nothing. Super scroll social media, binge-watch Netflix, fix the dishwasher, stack the wood, and clean the house. There will always be something to do. 


We all could do with a lesson in shutting down and doing a reboot and once in a while focusing in on what matters most.  You can do this at the Red Roof. I even charge for the internet to encourage guests to not "log on".


Make your Holiday in Nova Scotia and at the Red Roof a time to unplug.

Get Ready for your Ultimate Holiday in Nova Scotia

Nestled on Owls Head Island along the breathtaking Aspotogan Peninsula, this enchanting retreat invites you to unwind, reconnect, and embark on unforgettable adventures.


As you drive in for the 1st time, your gaze will be captivated by the awe-inspiring vistas of St. Margarets Bay stretching across the horizon. In the distance, the picturesque Shut-in Island and Hacketts Cove paint a scene of serenity and natural beauty.


Depending on the day, you could be woken to rippling water or waves crashing on the rocks. Or it could be breathtaking sunrises over Peggys Cove, creating magical moments that will linger in the photo album on your phone 🥰. 


Picture yourself gathered around the crackling outdoor fire, savoring its warmth as you witness the sunset casting a mesmerizing hue, turning the rugged white rocks of Shut-in Island into a vibrant shade of pink.


With only eight properties on the island, privacy, seclusion, and tranquility are yours to embrace. Here, you can escape the world’s noise and immerse yourself in solitude.


Welcome to our private 4-bedroom oceanfront house, where the allure of the sea beckons you from every corner. 


The Red Roof faces east, treating you to awe-inspiring sunrises that can be enjoyed with freshly brewed coffee or a refreshing mojito on the deck, setting the perfect tone for your mornings.

Learn the skill of relaxing at the Red Roof

Stress has increasingly become a significant part of our lives, bringing a lot of unnecessary negativity. Not hitting goals or checking off bucket lists can become stressful and depressing. Life coaching can change all that.
