Back to Newfoundland

The location is perfect for view and proximity to walking around St.John’s Newfoundland. It is beautifully decorated, very clean, and Tracey and Paul are wonderful hosts, and create a wonderful “home away from home”.

Amazing House and Location

We loved this house! No detail was overlooked. Plenty of supplies like water, coffee, tp, soap and shampoo. Very nicely decorated, clean and perfect location for walking to downtown. We have stayed at other properties on the battery and this house was our favorite. Nice blackout shades for the bright harbor lights at night. We would love to come back and stay here again!

This is a beautiful home! The house is meticulously decorated. You have everything you need at your fingertips. The kitchen is fully equipped and has coffee, spices, snacks, paper towels, etc. The view is spectacular, looking over St. John's harbour! The location is great! Food/coffee a short walk away and the Signal Hill trail start right there. We were lucky to meet the owners who are so friendly and kind. Excellent!

Well equipped and lovely home

Beautiful spot right at the water. View changes everyday as new boats arrive. The owners are generous with coffee, water etc and have everything available you might need. I’m a senior and was able to walk from George st to this home. Very well equipped. Pictures are correct— owner prompt with replies. Great spot.

Lovely and accessible

This is an amazing property, you can park your car and walk all of St. John’s as well as hike all the way up to the lighthouse. It is, like the pictures show, right in the harbor, which is wonderful. The boats are running all night, which means the lights are on too.

The owners of this property have thought of everything! From the Keurig coffee pods to the extra toothpaste, not one thing has been overlooked. The place was beautiful, very clean and had gorgeous views of the harbor. Proximity to downtown St. John’s is great. Thank you for a wonderful spot to stay on our adventure in Newfoundland.

Wonderful

Special accommodation, great location, felt at home from the first time I stepped in. Fortunately we had great weather and were able to use the deck overlooking the harbour. Everything about the week was perfect. Owners happened to be in the neighborhood that week and helped us with one issue, although they do have back-up if not there. Stocked with everything if you happen to forget something!

Newfies Come Home

What a spot! What a time! It doesn’t get any better than this home if you want a breathtaking view of St. John’s, walking distance to downtown AND the best hike at your doorstep. The home is in mint condition and the layout works perfectly for up to 3 couples. We so appreciated the complimentary coffee and the basket of snacks. The bedding is lovely (bed frames are a bit squeaky though). The bathrooms are immaculate and stocked with basics in case you forgot. We would definitely stay here again. It’s perfect. Thank you so much to our hosts Tracey and Paul.
