Our 1870 Era Home
Our 1870 era home awaits you in
picturesque Advocate Harbour Nova Scotia. The Acadians originally settled this
region, with the old Acadian dykes still in evidence. After the tragic
expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, the Spicer’s obtained the land grant as
one of the original settlers to the region from England in 1790. While
retaining much of the charm of the original structure, you will enjoy all
the comforts of our modern times in this completely restored home. Free
wireless Internet.
Your
hosts, Else Marie and Werner Ostermann, purchased the old home in 2006 at
a time where it had been abandoned for more than 20 years. It was a big
project and a happy day when we could open the doors in June 2009 to
our new B&B in our big old home, that also is the head quarters
of NovaShores Adventures, our kayaking business since 2000, recognized as a
Bay of Fundy Recommended Experience.
We have one room available
accommodating two guests. The rate is $ 110 including breakfast, tax included. The B&B is rated as a Four Star Accommodation by Canada Select.

One of the views from your room, overlooking Advocate Harbour. You can also enjoy the view of Cape d’Or and the Bay of Fundy. It is a place to relax and let go of the stress of everyday life.
