The Ship Wreck is a secluded getaway on Hennigar Lake 45 minutes from Halifax. It includes a converted 29’ sailboat, a large open air cookhouse including a wood fired pizza oven and propane fridge and stove and a wash house with composting toilet and gravity fed sink. In May we will have available a further sleeping accommodation featuring an antique double bedstead. An outdoor shower can wash away a day’s labours! Added amenities include kayaks, a horseshoe pitch, two fire pits, a play area including a basketball court and a hammock beneath the overhanging trees. A new 10’ by 15’ tenting / chilling area sits beneath the trees next to the amenities. Sandy walkways connect the beach to all of the different elements. Multiple spots around the property invite quiet reflection. Take your shoes off and stay a while… and if it’s Spring or Fall know that the rocket mass heater can keep you warm on the coolest, rainiest days.

Make our hobby farm your home base while you experience everything the beautiful Annapolis Valley has to offer! Our farm is nestled between two brooks and sheltered by the North Mountain, just outside the quaint village of Lawrencetown. Say hello to our friendly horses and sheep! Conveniently located 30 minutes east of Annapolis Royal, 50 minutes east of Digby, and 50 minutes west of Wolfville. There many lovely towns to stop in on your drive through the valley. You can be on the shore of the Bay of Fundy in 15 minutes. We are a 4 minute drive to the Annapolis Valley Exhibition grounds. With so many beaches, wineries, orchards, restaurants, trails and waterways nearby - you won't run out of things to do!
Enjoy your morning coffee while the sun rises over the North Mountain, and if you're lucky, a sighting of the deer that frequent the property. After a busy day spent exploring the valley, enjoy gazing up at the milky way (stargazing is incredible here with some of the darkest skies in North America) next to a crackling campfire. Fall asleep to the sounds of our brooks' gentle burbling, and coyotes howling in the distance.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Breezy Petals. The dome was lovely - spacious, comfortable (especially during the much-needed rainstorm), and had everything we needed. Yun is an incredible host - we loved every minute.

This was my first attempt at camping out with my own tent while roadtripping to Nova Scotia. It was a good experience!
Shower and toilet was available, and it was a regular flush, surprisingly. Unfortunetaly for my 3-person tent, the nails cannot go through the wooden platform, so I installed it on the side.
If you're Glamping or using the already available tents on-site, it might be a better experience due to bugs, since this has 2 ponds around. Overall, for a first time, I was satisfied!
I just hope that the "Bois Road" that takes you to there ends up soon being paved, because that is one dusty unpaved road. At least the site is distant from it, so it's no problem!

Nous avons reçu de très bonnes indications très détaillées pour nous rendre au site. Le terrain est grand avec une belle vue sur la mer. Il y a même des chaises et un jeu de "washer" disponible sur le terrain. L'endroit est bien situé (à mi-chemin entre Lunenburg et Peggy's Cove).

We stayed for 2 nights my boyfriend and I. We LOVED our stay at the ranch!!! So quiet and peaceful 😇! It was nice to wake up the mornings in our little RV with a beautiful view on the horses and the sheeps 🐴🐑. Alexa was a excellent host with us and she gave us many good suggestions for activities near the neighborhood. Thus, I personally loved to have access to a lovely shower for guests near our RV before going to bed🚿. We recommand this place 😇!

We enjoyed our stay at Alexa's place. When we arrived we were very friendly greeted by her husband. After we parked our trailer he showed us around the well maintained property and gave us some dininng suggestions.
The camp spot is nestled beside trees near a brook. There was a picknick table and a fire pit with chairs.
The shower in the woods is one of a kind. Everything was very clean.
We definitely come back.

2 nights at The Ship Wreck
We absolutely enjoyed our stay ! We stayed 2 nights but could have stayed a whole 2 weeks. It was so peaceful and full of unique art all around - so fun to explore! Bryan has many pleasant seating areas, hammock area and fire pits along the land that were really nice reading or relaxing nooks. (Again: wish I could have stayed longer ! ☺️) The Shipwreck cabin is equipped with many books and games for every age and interests - a real treat to go through. Even if night outside temps were a bit cold (-8 to -10 degrees), the unique rocket mass heater kept us comfortably warm. The outdoor kitchen was well equipped , pizza oven was SO MUCH fun!
We will certainly be back in the warmer months to enjoy the lake and outdoor shower. Great place for family getaways too - bringing the grandkids and dog next time.
