New Cape Smokey Guest Benefits for Cormorant Rock Stays
A stay at Cormorant Rock is about more than ocean views and coastal luxury.
It’s about experiencing Cape Breton from an entirely different perspective. Positioned on the oceanfront at the base of Cape Smokey and just steps from the mountain, our chalets provide direct access to one of the most unique landscapes along the Cabot Trail .
This summer, that proximity comes with added benefits. We’re excited to introduce exclusive guest perks at Cape Smokey, including exclusive savings on gondola access and e-bike rentals throughout the season, available exclusively to guests staying at Cormorant Rock.
Explore Cape Smokey from Above
Ride the Atlantic Gondola to the summit of Cape Smokey and spend the day taking in panoramic ocean views, scenic mountain trails, and a collection of summit experiences overlooking the Atlantic coastline.
As the only gondola in Atlantic Canada, it offers a Cape Breton experience unlike anywhere else on the continent.
Whether you are planning a relaxed afternoon at the summit or a full day exploring the mountain, the gondola opens up a side of Cape Breton that few have the opportunity to experience.
Your Exclusive Guest Benefits
Cormorant Rock guests now receive:
Including separately purchased gondola access.
Available at the base of the mountain.
These savings apply throughout the summer season and can be combined with full-day summit access for a complete coast-to-mountain experience.
What You Can Experience at the Summit
Your gondola access includes unlimited rides for the day and entry to summit experiences, including:
- Scenic walking and hiking trails
- Panoramic Atlantic Ocean viewpoints
- Hawley Lake kayaking and paddleboarding
- Disc golf and mini golf
- Quiet lookout and relaxation areas
- Mountain biking and e-bike trails
Finish the Day at The Cape
When you are ready to come back down, finish the day with a meal at The Cape restaurant at the base of the mountain, where fresh local ingredients meet sweeping views of the Atlantic coastline.

One Stay, Two Experiences
What makes a stay at Cormorant Rock different is the geography. Within a few steps, you move between two distinct Cape Breton experiences: the salt air and stillness of the coast and the rugged beauty of the highlands.
The new benefits program is built around that connection, giving guests easier access to the full landscape rather than a single slice of it.
Coffee on the deck accompanied by the sound of the Atlantic.
A gondola ride to the summit, kayaking on Hawley Lake, or a slow e-bike ride along the mountain trails.
A return to the stillness of the coast, exactly as a Cape Breton day was meant to unfold.
You can see the full range of seasonal options on our activities page .
More Experiences to Come
This is just the beginning of a new Guest Experiences & Benefits program for Cormorant Rock guests.
Additional seasonal experiences, packages, and partnerships will be added throughout the year as we continue expanding new ways for guests to experience Cape Breton, from the coast to the summit.
