Cavendish hotels sit in the heart of Prince Edward Island’s north shore, close to Green Gables Heritage Place and the beaches of Prince Edward Island National Park. The lodging here is mostly small. You will find country inns, motels, and many cottage resorts, but few large hotels. We rechecked the old list on this page against Tourism PEI and other listings. Some properties could not be confirmed, so we removed them. This guide covers the Cavendish hotels and motels we could verify, marks what stays unconfirmed, and shows how to pick a base. Rates change daily, so we do not quote them. Many places open only for the summer season, so confirm dates before you book.

The names are Ingleside Lodge Motel and Cottages, Shining Waters Country Inn and Cottages, and The Resort at Cavendish. Another directory lists Shining Waters Country Inn and Luxury Suites and Cottages on Route 6 and 13. Treat the names as one site, but confirm what you are booking.

Cavendish Breeze Inn
Cavendish Breeze Inn is at 40 Memory Lane. The phone number is 902-963-3385. Tripadvisor lists the inn among Cavendish motels and calls the rooms smaller. The season runs from May 15 to October 11, so this is a summer-only stay.

The inn also offers studio and two-bedroom cottages with kitchens, microwaves, and barbecues. An outdoor heated pool and Wi-Fi are listed. All units are non-smoking and pets are not allowed.

The listing places Fairways across the road from Green Gables Heritage Place and the Haunted Wood entrance. L.M. Montgomery’s Cavendish Home National Historic Site is also nearby. A walking trail passes the property. This is a strong pick for families who want to walk to Green Gables.
Cavendish MemoTree Resort and Cavendish Gateway Resort
Tourism PEI lists Cavendish MemoTree Resort at 6596 Route 13 in Mayfield. Another directory lists Cavendish Gateway Resort at the same street address, and a third listing shows Clarion Collection Cavendish Gateway Resort on Route 13 in Mayfield. Search results for the Clarion name led back to MemoTree. We could not confirm the exact brand history, so ask the front desk which name applies now.

Tourism PEI says Cavendish Beach is about four minutes away and Charlottetown is about 20 minutes away. We found only this one source, so treat the details as unconfirmed and call before you book.
Motels in Cavendish, PEI
Travelers who search for motels in Cavendish will find several names. Tripadvisor lists Bay Vista Motel, Silverwood Motel, Boardwalk Motel, Cavendish Breeze Inn, Anne Shirley Motel and Cottages, Cavendish Motel, and Cavendish Corner Motel Inn. A second directory lists Anne Shirley Motel and Cottages, Bay Vista Motor Inn, Seaside Motel and Cottages, and Silverwood Motel.
We verified Cavendish Breeze Inn in full above. For the others, we found only directory listings with addresses and no firm dates, phone numbers, or amenity lists. Bay Vista Motor Inn is listed on Route 6 and appears in some directories under Bayview. We cannot say whether each motel is open now. Call first and ask for the season, the room types, and the check-in times.
Motel rooms suit couples and solo travelers who spend the day at the beach or in the park. Cottage units usually suit families better, because they add kitchens and more beds.
Hotels Near Green Gables Heritage Place
Green Gables Heritage Place is at 8619 Route 6 in Cavendish. Tourism PEI lists the season as May 1 to October 31, with hours from 9 am to 5 pm daily. The site has a visitor centre, the original house, gardens, a farmyard, and walking trails including the Haunted Wood and Lover’s Lane. The phone number is 902-963-7874. Parks Canada also describes the site as part of Prince Edward Island National Park, about 40 km from Charlottetown.
For a hotel near Green Gables, start with Fairways Cottages and Shining Waters Country Inn. Both listings name Green Gables as a close neighbor. Cavendish Country Inn and Cottages lists the beach and the boardwalk area as its nearby draws. Confirm hours and fees on the Parks Canada website before you go, because both can change by year.
Hotels in Charlottetown as a Backup
Cavendish fills up in summer. Many properties here close for the winter. If you cannot find a room, Charlottetown offers a year-round alternative. Rodd Royalty is at 14 Capital Drive in Charlottetown. The phone number is 902-894-8566. Tourism PEI lists the hotel as open all year, with hotel rooms, suites, and motel drive-up rooms.
The listing names an indoor pool with a 105-foot waterslide, a games zone, a complimentary hot breakfast, and free wireless internet. Pets are permitted. The hotel is fully mobile accessible. Tourism PEI says the Cavendish area is within easy reach. We did not source a drive time, so check a map. Staying in Charlottetown puts you farther from the beach and Green Gables than any Cavendish property.
Getting to Cavendish and Choosing a Base
Parks Canada places Green Gables about 40 km from Charlottetown, and the site is easy to reach by car. A car is the practical way to see the island. Cavendish sits along Routes 6 and 13, and the properties above use those road names in their addresses.
Several listings use Mayfield addresses on Route 13, and Tourism PEI files them under the same Green Gables Shore area as Cavendish. If a listing says Mayfield, ask how far the walk is to the beach and to the main attractions.
How to Choose a Cavendish Hotel or Motel
Pick by trip type. Families should look at Fairways Cottages and Cavendish Country Inn and Cottages. Both list pools, playgrounds, and kitchens. Couples may prefer Cavendish Breeze Inn, which lists a hot breakfast and private decks. Groups may like Mayfield Lodge once the details are confirmed by phone.
Pick by season. The listed seasons run from mid May to early October for most places, and some close at the end of September. If you visit in late fall or winter, plan on Mayfield Lodge or Charlottetown and confirm dates first.
Pick by walking needs. Shining Waters lists the shortest distance to Green Gables. Fairways sits across the road. Always ask for the room location when you call.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We compared Tourism PEI listings, Parks Canada pages, Tripadvisor, and a travel directory called Travel in PEI. We used phone numbers, addresses, seasons, and amenities from Tourism PEI where available.
We removed three properties from the old version of this guide. We could not find The Inn at Cavendish, Shearer’s Cove Cottages, or Sandbanks by the Beach Resort in the Tourism PEI listings or in the directories we searched. A search for those names turned up no matching Cavendish lodging. They may have closed, changed names, or never matched the descriptions. We kept Rodd Royalty but placed Rodd Royalty in Charlottetown, where Tourism PEI places the hotel.
Check-in and check-out times were not listed on any page we reached. Rates were not checked on purpose. The pet policy at Cavendish Country Inn and Cottages conflicts across lines of its own listing. The brand status of Cavendish Gateway Resort and MemoTree stays unconfirmed. Mayfield Lodge rests on one source. Call each property before you pay a deposit.
