When you go out, your pet must go with you. Pet sitters are available in the area and we can help you arrange for one given enough notice. All pets are to be restrained in public areas. Pets may be walked on any of our 14 plus acres of the property but we ask that you clean up after your pet. Sorry, but your pets are not allowed in the swimming pool or inside the dining room, but please enjoy dining on our deck (weather permitting) with your pet. All damages should be reported to the front desk immediately.

  • Our outdoor and indoor heated pools are open for the season The indoor pool is open from 7am – 10pm. Pets are not permitted in the pool areas. Thank you for your cooperation.

Direct Booking Benefits

  • Booking directly through the Bluenose Inn or Wonder View Inn website ensures you’re getting the best value. Online travel agencies (OTAs) may appear to offer lower rates at first, but they often exclude additional fees until the final step of booking. Once those are added, the total usually matches—or even exceeds—the direct rate, without the added perks that come with booking directly.

When you don’t book direct, you miss out on a few key advantages:

Exclusive Offers – Booking through our website unlocks special offers you won’t find on third-party sites, from savings on extended stays and seasonal deals to unique, curated experiences.

More Availability & Room Options – Online travel agencies have limited inventory, but booking direct gives you access to the full range of room types—making it easier to find exactly what you want.

Better Customer Service – From booking to checkout, you’re working directly with a team that knows the property inside and out. Our staff can accommodate special requests, offer tailored recommendations, and ensure your stay is seamless—something third-party sites simply can’t match.

Yes. Booking direct gives you immediate support from our hotel team or the Opal Collection reservations team, making any changes or cancellations simple and straightforward. With OTA reservations, you’ll need to go through third-party call centers, which can slow things down and limit your options.

When booking online, review your search results carefully and watch for misleading sponsored ads from third-party sites. Always confirm the link leads to the hotel’s official website or booking engine—not an OTA. If you’re unsure, it’s best to start from the hotel’s homepage or call the property directly.
