Ocean Views & Beachcombing at Malagash Cottages
Relaxation, fun activities, stunning views and a foody paradise.
Your Piece of Paradise
Welcome to our little hobby farm in Malagash, NS, home to some of Canada's oldest history. We are surrounded by the most incredible selection of locally grown foods, and caught seafood. We're bringing our little farm back to life, one corner at a time and look forward to sharing it with you.
OUR AMENITIES
Foody Kitchens
Both the Farmhouse and the Cottage have kitchens that really let you make true farm & ocean to-table delights. With dishwashers, complete cookouts, microwaves and French press or Keurig coffee makers, you're all set to enjoy the treats of the area.
Free Wifi
Not just free wifi; free real high speed wifi. Speedy enough for us to run 2 kids full time at remote schooling, and 2 adults on video calls all day long. Fast enough for any workcation.
Outdoor Activities
Ready for S'mores on the bonfire, or a game of croquet? Prefer to play a bit of soccer or do some bird watching? Or just relax in a Muskoka chair and read a book ? Take a walk down the road to the mussel farm?There is lots to do for everyone!
Laundry
A full size washer and dryer at your disposal. We prefer lamby balls to fabric sheets, they're environmentally friendly and keep static cling at bay. Or you can use the laundry line outside and have your clothes dry quickly and smell like the REAL fresh outdoors.
Beaches
The end of the driveway is as far as you need to go to find a beach with huge tidal flats. In the summer the water is almost like bathwater, and the tidal pools are full of crabs, fish and anemones. Maybe you'll even find some seaglass!
Family Friendly
We have 2 sons so we know what family friendly really means. For the little ones we have a travel crib and high seat, and lots of plastic dishware. For the older kids, there's a soccer ball, a softball and bat, a treehouse (not too high!) which is perfect for hiding out, Lego, puzzles, books and of course, great wifi. Did we mention Tatamagouche Ice Creamery ?
