The woman who was running the gift shop when we were there was informative and answered some other questions we had about earlier settlers of the island. The houses made from bottles are really neat and you try to put yourself into the shoes of the person who built them, noting that just one of the bottle buildings used 8000 bottles to build. They are cute and you can walk thru them. One is a little church and one had a bar inside also made from bottles. A truly unique experience.

I recently attended a wedding reception held here and it was a truly perfect space for it!…read more The Cymbria Lions Club Community Centre is located across the street from the Barachois Inn Historic Bed & Breakfast. The wedding was held on their lawn with the garden in the background. We were able to park at the Lions Club and then just walk across the street. Following the wedding, we walked back to the Club and enjoyed drinks on the upstairs patio, which has an incredible view! There were tables and chairs and the patio could be access from inside (off the main hall) or by two sets of stairs. There was also a window in to the cash bar (it can also be accessed across a counter from the main hall). If anyone didn't want to enjoy the view, they could go check out the St. Augustine Catholic Church (built in 1838) or the The Farmers' Bank of Rustico Museum (precursor of the credit union movement in North America) and Doucet house. The main hall was quite large and easily accommodated the wedding party of ~80 people. It has a stage and after dinner, we removed a row of tables for room to dance to a local band. Accessible bathrooms were just off the side of the hall. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and helped make this destination wedding run smoothly. On the bottom floor we noticed that there was another bar with a patio on the ground floor that looked like it was still open to the public. This is a perfect location for a wedding or other community gathering as it offers a stunning view, lots of opportunities for things nearby to explore while you're waiting and all of the amenities that one would require, including a large parking lot!
