Kip and Kaboodle Backpackers Hostel, on the main road, half way betwen Mahone Bay and Lunenburg Nova Scotia

"Kip & Kaboodle is a friendly little backpackers hostel in a quiet country setting located conveniently between Mahone Bay & Lunenburg - an area with a lot to offer! Mahone Bay is our closest town, and it is famous for its three postcard-perfect churches as well as its arts & crafts community. Lunenburg is 7km away and is the home of the famous Bluenose II as well as the Picton Castle, a square-rigged barque which has done four world voyages. Lunenburg is also a UNESCO World Heritage site - one of only two towns in North America to carry such a prestigious title. Close to beaches, hiking trails, art galleries & museums, wineries and much more."

Greg Inglis, your host (and a tour guide who has been providing tours throughout Nova Scotia for over 7 years), is always happy to sit down and chat in the evenings to help you plan out your trip to make sure you don't miss a thing while visiting this beautiful part of Canada.

The editors of Backpackers Hostels Canada wanted to draw your attention to a very funny page on the Kip and Kaboodle website called "Ridiculous rules we (mistakenly) assumed were totally unnecessary to state". For some comic relief (and certainly a little provocation of thought for travellers) please read through this page.
