The Cresthaven by the Sea Experience
Food & Drink
Each day at Cresthaven by the Sea starts with a hot complimentary breakfast. Typically served in our historic dining room, breakfast can be offered to guests in the comfort of their rooms, or outside on the back deck following Nova Scotia Covid-19 health protocols.
Lunch and dinner offers guests with the opportunity to enjoy the Mudslide Cafe at Canada’s oldest running general story - the Frieze and Roy just steps away, or take a short to dine in Kennetcook, Truro, Summerside, or Halifax . Ask our staff for their favourite dining recommendations!

“Our stay here was just delightful! The views are incredible. Your host will cook you a delicious breakfast and explain the tides. This is a great place to view the tides coming in. Very comfortable. We had everything we needed! We will go back here for sure!”
