Independent in Cabot Trail from AU$171

"We had such a great time here! The location is awesome, the time in the hammocks was sublime, and it's not too far from the beach (~35 min by car), which was great for paddleboarding, swimming, etc. A couple guests (including us) did not get the room/suite they reserved on Expedia, so I'd advise guests to confirm your room with the owner directly once you've booked. In our case it worked out fine, as we got one of the adorable cottages and it was awesome; the owners were super helpful and lovely. Having a firepit was awesome - like camping but better! We loved the hot tub and all the different lounging spot options. A great spot to unwind and relax by the sea. I hope we can be back! My only note is that the chemical/floral cleaning smell when we first checked in was so strong, it gave both me and my daughter a headache. It was gone by the second day, but I'd suggest notifying the owner in advance (which I failed to do) if you have a scent sensitivity."

"Liked the view"

"Easy to find. Friendly service"

"Incredible view and super nice motel room!"

"This was a wonderful stop on our NS tour! They were very accommodating as we showed up after the office (and most of NS, closed up for the night.) Great conversation was had in the morning at the restaurant with the manager and another patron. The view from the balcony was spectacular! I woke at 5:30 am to catch the sunrise. Stunning!"

"What a hidden gem. We had the suite on the main floor and it was fantastic. Huge living room kitchen area and then a separate room with a king size bed. It doesn't look like much from the outside but fantastic suite. Would highly recommend. Plus, head to The Doryman for dinner...the food was great."

"Amazing ocean view, super clean room, great breakfast, amazing staff"
