Welcome to the Digby Backpackers Inn

What are we?
We are a backpackers hostel located right in Digby - Nova Scotia. Digby is in South West Nova Scotia, on the Bay of Fundy. The ferry from Saint John - New Brunswick arrives here.

Never stayed in a hostel before?
Hostels are meant to facilitate meeting other guests and creating a comfortable environment for all based on mutual respect. This means facilities are mostly shared. Our own experience is that we have pretty awesome guests, we've met great people from all over the world.

"Hostels act as a spiritual refuge for travelers seeking a free and fearless space to be amongst other travelers and receive an open, non-judgmental form of hospitality" (wise words of Lloyd Jones, founder of the Backpackers Hostels Canada Network)

 

Meet the Owners

Saskia came to Canada in 2004 from the Netherlands planning to backpack around Canada for a year. Little did she know who she was about to meet when she decided to take a tour with Moose Travel through Ontario and Quebec.... Claude, who is originally from Montreal, had just started his job as driver / tour guide for Moose Travel in Toronto and was looking forward to a summer filled with fun and meeting people. Little did he know who he was about to meet.... Just 18 months after they met, the tour guide and the backpacker got married.... (Yes, she married the tour guide!)
