20 DREAMSCAPES SPRING/SUMMER 2023
Life is Not a Highway in the Maritimes
BY NANCIE HALL
Start your engine! It’s time for a road trip and the Maritimes await. Fuelled with a sense of adventure (and maybe a map), cruise along coast-hugging roads with swoon-worthy scenery at every turn, sample some of the best seafood, and at the end of the day tuck into your home-away- from-home in comfortable luxury at Rodd Hotels & Resorts.
Made in Atlantic Canada
Family-owned and operated, Rodd Resorts has grown from a few cottages in the 1930s to seven hotels and resorts dotted throughout Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Each property is designed to reflect their sense of place and all offer Maritime hospitality at its finest.
Mini but Mighty in Prince Edward Island
Although Prince Edward Island is the smallest province in Canada, it plays a monumental role in the country’s history as the birthplace of Confederation. Rolling dunes, sandy beaches, world-class golf, and arguably the highest concentration of lighthouses anywhere in North America makes this a postcard-perfect getaway.
Use Charlottetown as a base and stay at the historical Rodd Charlottetown or the contemporary Rodd Royalty with its family-favourite waterslide and pool. Farther afield is the luxurious five-star Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort with the renowned Links at Crowbush Cove on the panoramic North Shore, or retreat to the charming cottages at the tranquil Rodd Brudenell River Resort in Brudenell River Provincial Park.
Tunes & Tides in New Brunswick
This is not a drive-by! There are tides and then there is the Bay of Fundy! Home to the world’s highest tides, they thunder in bringing 160 billion tons of sea- water twice a day and tower 16 metres high. A kayak paddle through St. Martins Sea Caves is a must to see the eerie sandstone caves carved out by erosion.
Stay at the Rodd Moncton overlooking the world-famous tidal bore, or visit the Rodd Miramichi nestled on the Miramichi River with serene water views.
Starry Nights & Widow’s Walks in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Yarmouth’s picturesque harbour saw sea captains and pirates off to sea, and sto- ries of rum running and hidden treasure still abound. One legacy left by wealthy shipbuilders is the remarkable Victorian architecture and heritage homes. The region is also the site of North America’s first UNESCO Starlight Reserve, revered for exceptional star gazing, and almost 24 kilometres of sandy beaches.
The centrally located Rodd Grand Yarmouth Hotel provides an ideal base to explore the area. DS
