"At the root of hospitality is the love of a stranger." – Zita Cobb
-
I recently listened to an interview with Zita Cobb (Founder/CEO of Shorefast on Fogo Island and the visionary behind Fogo Island Inn), and this quote truly resonated with me. It captures exactly how we feel welcoming each guest to Shangri-La Cottages. Sharing the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Fundy is our greatest privilege. It's what keeps us going on the days filled with twelve hours of laundry and eighteen-hour workdays.
-
True hospitality is also about community. Cobb champions the idea that a business should serve its place. When you choose to stay with us, you aren't just taking a vacation—you are directly supporting the rural East Hants economy, local small businesses, not-for-profits, and volunteer organizations.

We are deeply grateful for your support and to call Burntcoat home. Happy Thanksgiving from Nicholas, Drake, and me. 🍂🧡

You don’t always get the tides and the sunrise in sync, but every once in a while, the timing is spot on. Miles of exposed red sandstone catching the very first light of dawn. Not a bad view to start the morning at Shangri-La Cottages. 🌅

We are excited welcome back many repeat guests today for the Thanksgiving long weekend! 🥰

Fall at Shangri-La Cottages through the eyes of my Fujifilm. My favourite time of year where the entire property vibrates with colour. 🍂
The cooler air paired with a cozy cottage; you just can't beat the combo. 🍁

Burntcoat is every sunset lover's paradise. As the sun drops over the Minas Basin, the light catches every tidal pool, sandstone sea stack, and ripple in the ocean floor. The contrast between that warm, blazing copper glow and the deep, rust-colored mud transforms the landscape into a perfect piece of art. 🌅🌊

5 YEARS AGO TODAY! ✨

On August 16, 2021, Nicholas and I moved to Shangri-La Cottages in Burntcoat, Nova Scotia—and what an unforgettable journey it has been.

Stepping into this life meant walking away from our previous paths: Nicholas left his career in healthcare, and I put plans for a career in law on the back burner.

Growing up in Cape Breton, I was surrounded by the kind of warm, open-door hospitality where a stranger is just a friend you haven’t had a drink with yet. "Right, my dear?"

Paired with my background in social anthropology and a deep love for understanding people, diving headfirst into hospitality truly felt like finding my calling. I’ve spent years studying how humans build culture, share stories, and seek belonging. Running Shangri-La has let me take that passion out of textbooks and into real life, turning our coastline into a space where strangers from every walk of life instantly feel at peace and at home.

Living at the site of the world’s highest tides is incredible, but the true heartbeat of Shangri-La has always been our incredible guests. Over the last five years, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming travellers from every corner of the globe. Listening to your stories, celebrating your milestones, and gathering around the fire pits have made this little corner of Nova Scotia feel so vibrant and rich in what we all crave most: deep, cross-cultural human connection.

Swipe through for a few memories from August 16, 2021—to see where it all began! 🌊❤️📸
