About the host
Hosted by Dom and Rachael
Hi We are Rachael and Dominic. We love to travel, meet new people and gain experiences. We have found that by hosting we have met many fantastic people from different countries. We enjoy hiking, cycling, photography.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property due to its location and amazing sea/harbour views. it is close to the water and also only a short drive to the renowned Crystal Crescent Beach and trails. There are many trails to explore and set in a very quiet neighbour hood, yet close to shops (Spryfield) and also Halifax and the Airport
What makes this property unique
The Property was originally the community school until early 1970's. It has been modernised throughout and is only a few yards away from the Wharf and beach. It is a quiet community but offers several benefits besides the amazing Harbour and Ocean views. The property is set on 1 acre of land so not close to the neighbours and plenty of garden to relax in or enjoy a fire pit in the evenings.
