ABOUT THIS PLACE

Restored and redesigned by internationally celebrated architect Brian MacKay-Lyons, the historic 1830s Schoolhouse offers a luxurious and relaxing getaway at Shobac Farm. Accommodating up to 6 guests, this charming two-storey, fully equipped house is ideal for couples, families and small groups seeking at any time of year. Featuring a private, outdoor spa, BBQ and master bedroom with stunning views of the LaHave Estuary.

The new SHOBAC SPA offers guests a place on site to restore both body and mind. Amenities include an indoor lap pool, sauna, steam room, gym, and an outdoor hot tub on a communal area.

The second level features the master bedroom with Tempur-pedic queen bed, stunning views, and designer furnishings and details.

The ground level maintains the feel of the original Schoolhouse open plan, and features a fully equipped kitchen with European appliances, a spacious and bright dining and living area with contemporary leather furniture, wood stove, pine floors and restored wooden furniture. A sofa bed in the living area can accommodate additional guests.
