Hi there I’m Peter Richardson! Truly grateful you’re looking to stay at Shorty’s Place in Lunenburg.

That’s me above with Shorty. I’m the one on the left, sporting my Captain’s hat with great pride! I have worked on passenger vessels, car ferries and tug boats too, you best believe I’m at home out there on the great ocean blue.🌊
During my nearly 30 years in the Tourism Industry, I’ve done everything from running Inns and vacation accommodations to owning and operating boat tour companies, so you can be sure I appreciate the importance of catering to my guests.🏡
I’ve made Nova Scotia my home for more than 3 decades, and while I know boats from stem to stern, it’s fair to say my knowledge of Canada’s Ocean Playground runs from coast to coast to coast… to coast and Cape Breton too! I share that so you won’t hesitate to reach out directly on all things Nova Scotia – from recommendations to clarifications – heck, even pronunciations! Which, take it from me, can be tricky. Like Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site for instance, an absolute paradise to visit, but not the easiest to say. BTW even the locals call it Keji. 😉
If you have any questions at all, please give me a call/text at
