A Virtual Tour of The Breakers
Click Here to Start, or Below to Jump to Area of Interest.
The Breakers is the old Mayoral Manor house of Digby, and was built for E. R. Oakes, a local
merchant, between 1853 to 1857. It exemplifies the Neoclassical style of architecture,
which appeared in Canada circa 1820.
The Breakers has a grand entry hall and parlour, with high ceilings and carved plaster and
woodwork. We hope you feel welcomed as you enter The Breakers, as have many guests as they
entered this hallway, over the past 150 years.
We’ll get your day off to a great start with our delicious breakfast. Enjoy it in our
spacious dining room, well appointed in a period style. We pride ourselves on offering a
healthy and nutritious breakfast. Vegetarian and special diets available by request.
All of our guest rooms are on the second floor, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of
Digby harbour, sailboats, and early morning sunrises. Make yourself at ease in our spacious,
comfortable rooms.
We have three guest rooms. Our rooms are large and bright with either queen sized or double
beds, tastefully decorated with English and Early Canadian antiques and artwork. Each room
has its’ own private, ensuite 4 piece bath.
