Great place in the Canning area; conveniently located for a nice walk to the shops. The apartment itself is clean and spacious, with a great sitting area outside to enjoy the scenery, and sunsets. Would definitely come back.

Very nice place in Canning. Very well kept place and lots of wildlife in the area. If I had to provide one recommendation - the bed was very hard and a topper would go a long way for us older people. Communication was excellent and the listing was accurate. The area is simply amazing and well worth the visit!!!!!

The unit was fine for our purpose, we were staying for just two nights, so we didn’t need much. We found the bed a little firm and small to our liking.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Canning. Nos hôtes étaient hautement sympathiques tout en étant discrets. Le logement est adéquatement équipé, calme, confortable et la lumière y est splendide. Nous avons particulièrement aimé lire sur la petite terrasse au soleil. De notre logement, nous pouvions avoir accès à pied aux commodités nécessaires - épicerie, Meat Market, pharmacie, resto, charmant petit café (The Village Coffee House)-. Nous étions bien situés pour explorer les nombreux vignobles de la région, les sites historiques de l’ancienne Acadie et faire de la randonnée à Cape Split.
