| about us |
Opened in late August 2003, the hostel is run by Lee
Whetstone and Cathie O'Brien who moved from Australia to
Nova Scotia in 2001.
Lee is originally from Calgary, Alberta and Cathie from Sydney,
Australia.
The backpackers is located in a century old former sea
merchants house, circa 1880's. Purchased in 2002, the
interior was modernised and renovated whilst attempting to
retain as much of the character and charm of the original
architecture as possible - including the fantastic curved
wooden staircase leading to the bedrooms. The cupola (or
"widow's peak") is still located on the roof and offers extensive
views across the harbour.
We are happy to cater to single travellers, couples, groups and
families. Age is no restriction and our youngest traveller to
date was 3 and our oldest in her 80's! (Our 2 year old loves to
see other kids arriving).
The hostel offers budget accommodation and you can choose
from either a shared dormitory room (co-ed), twin room or
private double room. There are full kitchen facilities, a TV
room, two share bathrooms, internet access (for a small fee),
parking, bike storage and a sun deck. Linen and blankets are
included in the room cost.
24 hour checkin, although if you plan to arrive before 8am or
after 6pm please make a reservation and reconfirm your
booking the day before. Let us know at the time your
approximate arrival time.
Our hostel is a member of Backpackers Hostels Canada and
the newly formed hostel association ITANS (International
Travellers Association of Nova Scotia.)
For more information or to make a booking please email or
call us. Bookings are recommended particularly during the
summer months of July and August.
