This place is absolutely stunning and very close to the city. The rooms are tastefully decorated and clean and the spa is beautiful. Staff are friendly and attentive. We had one minor issue and Sarah went way above and beyond to compensate for it. We will be returning here again for certain.

We had a day visit with the spa. While the spa pools, sauna and steam room were clean and lovely it was over capacity for a smaller spa. The day was not relaxing had we had to wait for an opportunity to use everything because of the capacity level. Besides that the robes are absolutely shameful. The robes were like rags. Literally falling apart some people didn’t even have belts for the robes. Come on Oceanstone - do better!

We stayed at the Captains house. We have stayed in a lot of places and I think this was my least favorite. The bed in the photo was atrociously uncomfortable and lumpy. The floor joists you could see from the bottom floor were so incredibly dusty and dirty. It was hard to not stare at it the whole time we were in the living room. Also, there wasn’t a table to eat at lol. There was very little furniture for a house as big as it is; sleeping several guests. There were two small poor quality love seats to sit on. Definitely not enough space. We felt like we were sitting on each other and there wasn’t even a chair to pull out into the room. I am thankful we only stayed one night. The spa: One of the pools was broken down. So out of only two warm pools, we could only use one. The other was a cold plunge. The wet sauna we went into smelled like cat pee. The dry sauna was great. I felt like there wasn’t much to do there, tbh. If I wasn’t there with my friends, I’d have bailed. I met another woman there that left early because she was not enjoying it. The saunas and the one warm pool were always packed. By the time we were half way through our 3 hour time slot at the spa, our robes were heavy and freezing cold wet. There were no spares. Also, no extra towels. We went to the included breakfast an hour before it closed. There was barely anything left to eat. The servers were terribly forgetful and a few of us didn’t even get what we ordered. The selection was rough. Some toast and mini boxed cereals, 2 slices of pineapple left, eggs and bacon and yogurts. You could also order waffles or eggs. We did but didn’t get them. ???? I don’t think I’ll go back.

We love staying at Oceanstone. The price to stay in one of the cottages is fantastic & includes the hydrothermal circuit & breakfast. We had a snowy two nights in by the ocean and the wood fireplace. The staff are amazing. Super close to Halifax & the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.

We had a spa day and it was truly luxurious and just what we both needed. We noticed that even on a frigid winter day, there were plenty of workers checking the hydro circuit for temperatures, safety, and maintaining the fire. I was so impressed with how smoothly everything was running. Huge shout out to their whole team, they're doing something special. Definitely worth going to the circuit, even in negative temperatures!

The cottage we rented was beautiful; right on the ocean. The service was 5 star everyone was so kind and helpful. The location allowed us to really explore the east Coast of Halifax. The spa was beautiful and cozy even in December. We really enjoyed our time at the ocean stone and thank everyone there for the experience.

We spent three nights here to celebrate our daughter’s wedding at the end of September. It was perfect! The captains house was great for five of us to stay and host a couple of small gatherings. The huge deck was wonderful for meals and relaxing, with spectacular views. The food at the wedding was delicious. Without exception, every single staff member was wonderful. Don’t want to include any names because I’d miss some, but the staff was friendly, helpful and quick to respond to requests. Those who had a spa day after the wedding really enjoyed it too. The whole wedding trip was a joy, and we heard the same from friends and family who attended. Would highly recommend Oceanstone if you are considering holding an important event here!

We were here for a family function and stayed two nights. Location is beautiful minutes away from Peggy’s Cove and the lighthouse. The resort is in a beautiful setting and our cousins had a private cottage on the water with an amazing view. We all gathered there at night for both nights and had an amazing time now we know what it’s like to have an Oceanside cottage. Our accommodations were up the hill on top of the restaurant, and we’re not quite as nice. When making a reservation, make sure you inquire as to what the room is like. They included breakfast was amazing. Cooked order waffles and eggs were great, especially the scrambled eggs. Note that if you want to do the sauna and Jacuzzi in the outdoor area, at the time I write this, it was an $85 per person extra charge.

Our five-night stay at Crows Nest Cottage exceeded our expectations . The cottage itself is a charming, quintessential beach house that offers a perfect blend of comfort and coziness. With its light-filled rooms, breezy atmosphere, and beach themed decor, it provided a most comfortable retreat. The sound of gentle waves lapping the shoreline just a short dune walk behind the cottage added to the serenity of our evenings & mornings. We definitely looked forward to beginning our mornings with the sumptuous complimentary breakfast served in the main lodge. The attentive staff served eggs made to order alongside an assortment of fresh fruit, croissants, meats, and other delightful goodies—an ideal way to fuel our days of relaxing exploration. Our experience at the Nordic Spa was remarkable and unforgettable . We began our “spa day” with a couples massage which was the perfect introduction to the day’s relaxing activities. The spa’s unique blend ( in an exquisite garden setting) of heat treatments, cold plunge, and restful breaks created a holistic cycle that invigorated our bodies, cleared the mind, and uplifted our spirits. The knowledgeable and friendly attendants made the experience even more special, ensuring we felt comfortable and cared for at every step. Complementing our entire Oceanstone experience were the ocean views and gorgeous sunsets from our cottage , which provided the perfect backdrop for unwinding after a days adventures . My wife and I enjoyed walking the pristine beach in front of the cottage, searching for tiny treasures of sea glass & shells which immensely added to the joy of our stay. Overall, Oceanstone Resort and Nordic Spa offered an all-encompassing retreat that nurtured our mind, body, and spirit. The warm hospitality of the staff truly made us feel like valued guests, and we left feeling inspired, and eager to return next year . For anyone seeking a restorative, beautiful, and inspiring getaway, I highly recommend Oceanstone for a complete experience of tranquility and renewal.
