Winter Giveaway · Places2B

Two winter stays shaped by place: a quiet farm by the coast, or the heart of the city.

This winter, Places2B is offering two distinct stays through a single giveaway—one at Shobac, our rural retreat on Nova Scotia’s South Shore, and one at Maynard Place, our city stay in Halifax—each thoughtfully curated with contributions from local partners.
