We stayed here for 2 nights in August. The owners, Carol and Russell, were extremely friendly, welcoming, and down-to-earth. The one bedroom cottage we stayed in was fairly simple, but had everything you'd need and more. The beach is a stone's throw away and was great for long walks, but even in August the water was more Arctic than Caribbean... More

We were searching for a place to stay and came across a hidden motel that was an absolute gem. The sheets were crisp and clean and the hospitality was amazing. We enjoyed walking on the beach, that is very close to the motel, the evening we arrived. In the morning we were greated with smiles and warm cheese biscuits. We... More

Although Mavillette beach is one of the finest in Nova Scotia, the owners at Cape View Motel & Cottages know NOTHING about Nova Scotian hospitality and customer service. We stayed in the one room cottage which had mouldy ceilings and rusted bathrooms. Very dated and claustrophobic inside but could have been overlooked had it not been for the extremely rude... More

We just returned from a night's stay at Cape View Motel and Cottages, just across from the fabulous Mavillette Beach. Great place to stay, great hospitality, greatest beach I've been to, other than Mexico, for a long time. Wanda & Rick

Very rude management & misleading online information. Their website has a toll free number. Horrific telephone manners for a 24 hour operation/industry. I was treated very rudely & told to call back at a decent hour. Upon calling back in the AM, the treatment was much worse when I suggested the website had false representation under tourism/hospitality guidelines. Section 52... More

What a pleasant surprise. On our trip through NS with a plan to hit the South Shore, we drove with no real destination and no real accommodations in mind other than inexpensive, clean and preferably something close to a beach and/or water. Through the NS "Doer's and Dreamer's" Guide, 2012, we found this location. The description was too good to... More

Our stay here was excellent. The motel room is a good value for the cost, the view is outstanding and the hosts are wonderful!

Mavillette was a memorable stay on our cross-Canada trip. We had no pre-planned stay that evening. Our main concern was to find a comfortable, pet-friendly location at a reasonable cost. The modern & efficient Cape View Motel met all of these requirements in a unique setting on a hillside overlooking the ocean. Our unit was comfortable and well appointed with... More
