The Straits Times : Singaporean-Canadian couple turn Nova Scotia wilderness lodge into luxury nature escape

In July 2017, Singaporean Pamela Ho and her Canadian husband Patrick Wallace checked into Trout Point Lodge in Nova Scotia, Canada, for a one-night getaway. 

The luxury log cabin retreat sits on about 50.5ha of land – roughly the size of 71 football pitches – and lies deep within the Tobeatic Wilderness Area, the largest protected natural space in Nova Scotia. It can host up to 26 guests.

Getting there is part of the experience. The lodge, opened in 2000, is a four-hour drive from Nova Scotia's Halifax Stanfield International Airport. 

Upon arrival, guests are rewarded with fresh air and vistas of forests thick with coniferous red spruce, hemlock and balsam fir trees. Just a short walk from the resort, the blue waters of the Tusket and Napier rivers ripple and foam.

The couple first visited Trout Point Lodge at the recommendation of their friends, who lauded the place for its connection to the great outdoors and its power to transport guests to another world. 

"It's in the geographical centre of the south-west Nova Scotia, so in about 60 to 70km in every direction, there's nothing but unspoilt wilderness. And in the middle of it all is tis lodge that's kind of like an oasis in the desert", says Mr Wallace, 53.
