Nova Glamping Inc offers a luxurious and uniquely curated glamping experience on a private island, boasting beautifully designed domes and a focus on natural immersion. Recent reviews highlight exceptional hospitality and attention to detail, though concerns regarding staff behavior and weather dependency have been raised.
Nova Glamping exceeded every expectation I had. A group of 10 other girls and I had the whole island to ourselves. From the moment we arrived, it was obvious how much thought and care had gone into creating this experience. The island is absolutely stunning—peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to disconnect. Every detail felt intentional, from the layout of the property to the little touches that made our stay feel special. The domes were incredible: beautifully designed, spotless, comfortable, and somehow luxurious while still letting you feel completely immersed in nature. It struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. The real heart of the experience, though, was Jen. She made everything run seamlessly and created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Her attention to detail, hospitality, and genuine passion for what she's built were evident in every interaction. If you're looking for a unique getaway that feels thoughtfully curated from start to finish, Nova Glamping is absolutely worth it. We truly never wanted to leave.
Fantastic weekend! Our group rented the entire Island which was absolutely stunning. Accommodations were fantastic. The only piece that wasn't appreciated was that Jennifer(one of the employees) was extremely hostile and rude to our group making us feel that it was a privilege to be there and made us all feel very uncomfortable she constantly brought up the rules, questioned our intentions and even mentioned that she had eyes and ears everywhere, making us all feel very uneasy. I would be back, but hopefully while Jennifer isn't working.
Pros: A very unique off-grid experience with an incredibly comfortable bed and a very cool dome. The kitchen was well stocked, there were plenty of cozy blankets, and even games available for entertainment. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and communication from the Nova team was excellent throughout. Cons: In our opinion, this experience relies heavily on good weather. We arrived on a chilly, rainy evening, starting with a cold, wet boat ride. Due to limited recent sunshine, the island was running on generators and we lost power overnight, which meant losing heat and phone charging capability. While the extra blankets kept us warm, it was stressful since we needed to stay in touch with family watching our son. Thick cloud cover meant no sunset, and we were unable to get the hot tub warm enough to use comfortably. Ultimately, given the cost, we feel the experience is too dependent on favorable weather to justify the price.
We had planning issues on our end, Ossama and Mary went above and beyond to accommodate us and all communication regarding our stay was always very clear. Whenever we are back in Nova Scotia we will definitely book here again.
Honestly, one of the highlights of my entire trip at Nova Scotia. The dome was beautiful, we enjoyed the private island, and really loved the sauna and hot tub. Only complaint is that the heater wasn’t enough for us during the night and we ended up wearing five layers to sleep. The toilet situation isn’t ideal too and I would have appreciated more transparency there. Other than that, really beautiful spot and we were so glad we booked this for a stay. Please bring your own food by the way
Stunning location. Our dome was very comfortable. The wood-fired hot tub was soothing, and Jennifer and Christian, the hosts, were very accommodating.
We stayed in the Cabin for 2 nights in September, 2025, celebrating our 40th Anniversary . The whole experience was wonderful. Don't hesitate to book!! The view of Peggy's Cove from the Cabin was fantastic! Staff were helpful in assisting with carrying bags to the Cabin. We really enjoyed the hot tub, the hiking trail on site, the peace & serenity!!! The view from the upstairs bedroom is absolutely beautiful.... so much so, that we chose to sleep there vs the master on the main floor!! Cabin is equipped with everything you need... attention to detail is very notable! Communication for check in was easy ... the staff on site were amazing... you couldn't ask for better !! ... Honestly, we felt like we were being welcomed by Family. We will forever hold warm memories of our trip to this Special Oasis! Thank you so very much for such a warm & welcoming experience!!!
This is a dream come true for those seeking relaxation and peace surrounded by nature and the ocean. A pure (hidden) gem. We spent a wonderful day and night there. The hot tub is sooo relaxing. The domes offer everything you need, are warm, cozy and so clean. If you need help with anything there is always staff at the main house. Highly recommend it to everyone and we are so happy that we had the chance to spend a night there. Thank you so much ??
We stayed a night at the cabin with another couple in Oct of '24 and we're still talking about it almost a year later. What a great experience! Host was amazing and accommodating. Highlights were the sunset boat tour (although a little chilly in October) and the fire heated hot tub & sauna. The local goats were a hit as well. Wish we would have booked for longer. Highly recommended!
Beautiful island, domes and facilities at this fantastic get away. The host team was amazing and barely let us lift a finger. The sauna, hot tub and everything was perfect. At Peggy's Dome, there is a view of Peggy's Cove lighthouse, as well as many other lighthouses along the horizon.
