Tobique View Motel: "A beautiful river valley in northwest NB" Top 5 Page for this destination Province of New Brunswick Hotel Tip by Bwana_Brown

Following our August, 2002 hiking trip to the to top of Mount Carleton (the highest peak in the province), Sue and I headed south again on the 80 km (50 mile) paved highway drive to Plaster Rock, N.B. We had already booked a room there at the Tobique View Motel and, in our best old African tradition, it was not long before we were sitting on 'our' verandah having a "sundowner" before dinner. It was very relaxing as the Tobique flowed by, on its way to joining the mighty Saint John River. As we sat there, a group of outdoor adventurers paddled by in their canoe and we also watched both an Osprey and a Kingfisher dive into the river in front of us - without success!

Unique Qualities: Our room was quite satisfactory, with the usual amenities you would expect. After all our hiking and driving that day, we were quite contented to have our evening meal at their air-conditioned restaurant and lounge area, encased by picture windows framing the natural setting of the area. We quite enjoyed our stay here before making our leisurely drive back to Fredericton the next day along the scenic old secondary highways on both sides of the Saint John River.

Room rates start from C$50 and we paid C$125 for the room and our evening meal & drinks.
