This motel is unique in the area: it’s an old school roadside motel that has been renovated with a more modern rustic style (think hipsters and millennials) and a Nordic spa added to boot and a sea kayaking company offering tours. Rooms are nicely styled, beds comfy, and thought out with things like a microwave, cutlery, dinnerware and dish towels and detergent to wash up. A BIG plus is that it’s dog friendly. Also continental breakfast included, a small menu but quality items: crispy fresh croissants, homemade spreads, sourdough bread, gluten free cereal(!), fresh fruit, hot coffee and teas! Reasonably priced rooms which are of great value.
It’s on the hill facing the Gulf and it is on route 132. No A/C, no fans, windows open; the highway isn’t busy and rarely travelled at night.
It’s situated in Pointe St Pierre, which is a site overseen by the Nature Conservancy of Canada - there are literally 2-3 trails across the street that hug the coastline, perfect for a morning stroll. It’s a kilometre from Indian Head Rock, where there is an Asian takeout! Smack dab in the middle between Gaspé and Percé.
I enjoyed my stay and really enjoy supporting businesses like this, especially in a such rural seaside community where most of the younger folk move away for opportunities. They have created the beginnings of a destination in and of itself. Thanks for hosting me and my dog!
