Hello, and welcome to The Idle Hour!
Iâm a localist by nature â a strong sense of place and belonging animates all my creative projects. Itâs in this spirit that my husband Mark Rodger and I said yes to the restoration of the this beautiful heritage property, founded by Captain Thomas Benjamin Selig, c. 1919.
My husband Mark and I invite you to experience the beauty of nature, and the ocean at your doorstep from the comfort of home. Idle a while, and connect with this charming coastal community †its stories, and its natural wonders.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende
Steeped in history and 90 minutes from Halifax, Port Medway is a hidden gem on Nova Scotiaâs South Shore.
Some fifteen years ago, Mark and I visited the enchanting village of Port Medway for the first time, and later made the area our second home. Frequent evening walks always led us down to the shore, past the quiet, crumbling, once grand Idle Hour. Two years ago, we had the opportunity to purchase the property we had always admired, and I got busy with the restoration.
We hope you enjoy the newly done period interiors, squeaky clean bathrooms, quiet corners, and welcoming porches that invite you to step back in time to a simpler, more tranquil life †one where you may settle awhile, unwind and recharge.
