MareGold Centre

Bay of Fundy       Annapolis Royal      Nova Scotia

Yellow background with a black stylized letter M and the text 'MareGold' underneath.

MareGold is a collection of carefully curated ventures rooted in the extraordinary landscape of Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy. Every book on our shelves has been chosen by hand. Every piece in our gallery has been selected with care. Every lot in our auctions has been chosen for its distinction. And every cabin has been built with imagination, craft, and a deep respect for the natural world that surrounds it.

This is not a place for the ordinary. MareGold is for the curious, the thoughtful, and those who believe that the things we surround ourselves with — the books we read, the art we live with, the places we rest — matter enormously.

Welcome, we are glad you are here

MareGold Centre

Every cabin has been handcrafted by Russell. Every book in our shop has been personally chosen. Every piece in our gallery and auctions has been curated with care. And every herb in Maryna's dispensary has been selected for its healing power.

We are a family of six ventures — a retreat, a bookshop, a gallery, auctions, workshops, and a herbal medicine practice — all rooted in the same belief: that the things we surround ourselves with, the places we rest, and the people we learn from matter enormously.
