Second Peninsula, Nova Scotia | As a proud participant of the Nova Scotia Audubon Green Leaf™ Eco-Rating Program, the Second Paradise Retreat has now been rated four out of five Green Leaves for five years in a row. The husband and wife owners of this tranquil, rural Nova Scotia vacation rental care deeply about preserving the natural integrity of this pristine location. So much so, in fact, that Kevin Gallagher, president of GreenLeaf Environmental Communications Inc., suggests that Second Paradise could even aspire to the highest level of Nova Scotia green tourism - five Green Leaves. The retreat currently exceeds the criteria required for four Leaves in some areas such as energy use, organic gardening and use of non-hazardous chemicals.
Second Paradise is continually making efforts to be a leader in Nova Scotia eco-tourism and reduce their environmental impact. The latest addition is a rainwater collection system that they’re installing to supply the water for the entire laundry and for parts of the toilets. Starting this fall, this investment will considerably reduce the amount of drinking water used in their business operation and help preserve the precious ground water reserves for future generations.
Two modern Nova Scotia cottages, a classic farmhouse dating back to 1850, and a bright, open loft make up the unique accommodations at Second Paradise Retreat. Balancing modern comfort with environmental responsibility comes in many forms at this green Nova Scotia vacation rental. Natural spring fed wells, biodegradable cleaning products and local building materials are just a few of the steps the owners have taken in reducing their environmental footprint.
Second Paradise Retreat is the ideal Nova Scotia eco-tourism getaway for those seeking peace and tranquility in a beautiful, natural environment. With twenty-seven acres of green meadows and forest gently sloping down to 1,400 feet of private Nova Scotia oceanfront, guests can enjoy kayaking, swimming, hiking, wildlife watching or simply kicking back and enjoying the sound of the sea breeze in the trees. The historic UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, is just a bike ride away, as well as beautiful Mahone Bay, famous for its three churches and unique artisans’ shops.
