Welcome To The Marmalade Motel
Your Eastern Shore Getaway
Welcome
To The Marmalade
We kept the charm. And ditched the old.
Once upon a time, roadside motels were all about convenience. We’ve reimagined that idea for modern travellers who want comfort, character, and a sense of place.
The Marmalade Motel is a classic coastal stay with a fresh twist. Set right on the ocean in Port Dufferin, this is where vintage motel bones meet playful design, thoughtful comforts, and a slower, salt-air kind of luxury.
Bright colours, cozy textures, and rooms that don’t take themselves too seriously.
Oceanfront Bliss
Where the view steals the show (and maybe your heart).
Private Balconies
Your own perch to sip coffee, watch waves, or pretend you’re in a movie.
Pet-Friendly Stays
Bring your furry friends. Humans too.
Playful Rooms
Colourful, cozy, and anything but boring.
Effortless Relaxation
Comfy beds, soft sheets, zero stress. Your “do nothing” headquarters.

We absolutely loved our stay! The owners made us feel so welcome, the room was spotless and beautifully designed with a private balcony that had the most peaceful ocean view.

My wife and I had an excellent experience at The Marmalade Motel for one night this past week. A simple check-in experience, comfortable room and beds, and a straightforward experience with real owners who are on site. The views from the rooms are terrific. And, we highly recommend the breakfast/brunch option -- good coffee and enough good food for breakfast and lunch!

My family stayed here for a sister’s wedding—such a beautiful spot with great rooms and an amazing view. The hosts were incredible and made the day extra special.
