A Quiet Corner of Nova Scotia, Close to Everything
Starz at Night sits in Lantz, a small community along the Shubenacadie River in the Halifax Regional Municipality. It’s the kind of place where you get genuine small-town quiet, while still being just 10.5 km from Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) — so whether you’re flying in for a getaway or just want a peaceful home base near the city, it works either way.
Everyday Conveniences, Five Minutes Away
You won’t need to go far for the basics. Elmsdale Shopping Centre is about a 5-minute drive and covers pretty much everything: a Sobeys for groceries, Canadian Tire, a Tim Hortons for your morning coffee, a Chinese restaurant, McDonald’s, Subway, and a Dollarama. It’s an easy stop on your way in, or whenever you need to restock during your stay.
Get Outside
If you’d rather spend your visit outdoors, there’s more nearby than you’d expect from such a small area. The East Hants Aquatic Centre in Elmsdale is a full public pool and recreation centre just a few minutes away, and the Lantz Recreation Society maintains local sports facilities for the community. For a slower pace, the Lantz-Elmsdale-Enfield Trail — part of the cross-Canada Great Trail network — runs along the water and makes for a scenic walk any time of year.
Something Sweet
While you’re in Elmsdale, it’s worth stopping by the Sweet Spot Chocolate Shop, a local favourite for handmade candy and chocolates — a nice treat to bring back to the house.
Why It Works as a Home Base
Lantz gives you the best of both: a genuinely quiet residential setting to relax in after a day of travel, with Halifax’s shops, restaurants, and attractions still within easy reach. Add in the property’s own private deck, e-bikes, and game room, and you’ve got as much reason to stay in as to head out.
