The residents of our small town are uniquely as friendly and helpful to visitors as they are to neighbours. So kick back, relax and stay awhile, you’ll feel like you’ve come home.


Come stay with us. What would you like ... a charming bed and breakfast, a full service hotel, a chalet, a cottage, or to camp under a star-studded night sky? Mahone Bay has them all. Children are welcome. We recommend you check with each individual establishment regarding their ability to accommodate pets. And remember to book ahead. Our accommodations are in great demand, especially during the summer months!
