We pride ourselves in being able to offer a vacation guide, when you arrive, which will show you some of the wonderful places you can visit whilst staying at the Delft Haus.  Each location we suggest you visit will have a detailed explanation of what there is to see and do.  Just sample some of the spectacular scenery pictured below and you will see for yourself how wonderful it is.

Halls Harbour

 Halls Harbour (nine minutes away from us) is a fabulous harbour with all the classic ocean scenery. The Lobster Pound specializes in lobster and fish and chips etc. What really makes Halls Harbour so special is that it is the focal point of the highest and lowest tides in the world. Did you know that every 6 hours the harbour fills and empties up to  50 feet or more.  You should visit this twice during your stay, once at high tide and once at low. The rugged shore line entices you to walk the ocean bottom looking for fossils under million year old rocks.  All this is once again covered at high tide.

Each day, 14 billion tonnes of water moves through the Bay of Fundy, the combined flow of all the rivers on earth.

DOMAINE DE GRAND PRÉ WINERY

GRAND PRÉ HISTORIC SITE

Next to the winery is the Acadian Historic Site. This is where the American Cajuns, who now live in Louisiana, came from. They were expelled by the British hundreds of years ago. There is a fabulous memorial as well as a wonderful visitor centre managed by the Canadian Government.

HIKING CAPE SPLIT

One of the most beautiful places in Nova Scotia to hike is Cape Split. The Split is a 1 3/4 hour, fairly easy, hike out into the middle of the Bay of Fundy into the heart of the Mighty Fundy tide.

For those interested in taking a guided hike, we suggest Scotianhiker.com

PEGGY'S COVE

Peggy's Cove is one of the most photographed places in North America

ROSS FARM 

GOLFING NEAR THE DELFT HAUS

For those who enjoy golfing, we have the nearby Eagle Crest 18 hole golf course, which is literally 3 minutes from our door.  If you are in for a real challenge, then there is the Ken Wo 18 hole course just 15 minutes away.

Your gracious hosts
