Creekside RNR - Cocagne, NB - Cliff Valley Astronomy

Riverlands & Milky Way Astro-region

Welcome to Creekside RnR, a one-of-a-kind glamping and wellness retreat nestled on the serene shores of Cocagne, New Brunswick. Our roots trace back to 1767, when my great-great-great-grandfather settled here. Generations of my family have enjoyed these lands, with their vibrant apple orchards, brilliant sunsets, and the constant soothing rhythm of the nearby ocean. After years away on Canada’s West Coast, I returned with my husband Dan, daughter Anabelle, and our two dogs to build Creekside RnR—a place where we could share this rare, beautiful corner of the world with visitors. Our property is a perfect blend of nature, comfort, and community. Enjoy pristine beaches, lush forests alive with birdsong, and endless trails that invite you to lose track of time. Through our partnerships with local artisans, farmers, and chefs, you’ll get a true taste of Cocagne, and the chance to immerse yourself in its culture, flavours, and natural beauty.
