Such a great place we decided to extend our stay! The location can’t be beat - you can walk to so many amazing restaurants, cafes, shops and the waterfront. It was very comfortable, spacious and clean - and in a historic building! This is the only place we will stay in Halifax from now on.

Great location and place.

This was perfect for our three generations. Plenty of room to spread out and come together. Walking distance to anything in Halifax proper. Just two blocks or so from the boardwalk and another few up the hill to the Citadel and shopping. Halifax is a great town and we would definitely stay in this house again.

Charming Historical Home in the Heart of Halifax

This beautifully appointed home was exactly what is depicted in the photos and located just 3 blocks from Halifax Harbour. Even though it was located closely to many historical sites, it is located in a quite area neighbour filled with many locally own shops and wonderful restaurants. The home felt welcoming from the moment you walked through the doors. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and beds were very comfortable. The extra amenities that were available for our used were equal to some very high end boutique hotels that we have stayed in. After our daily tours of this beautiful city, we looked forward to relaxing in the large living room and felt like we were returning to our home away from home. Thank you Holly for allowing us to stay in this incredible home.

Wow, what a wonderful review! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback about your stay with us. I’m so happy to hear that my property met your expectations and that you enjoyed the prime location, so close to Halifax Harbour and historic sites, and the quiet neighborhood with local shops and restaurants. I’m especially pleased that you found the home to be welcoming, the rooms comfortable, and that the amenities were comparable to those of a luxury boutique hotel. Our goal is for guests to feel like they’re returning to their own “home away from home” after exploring our beautiful city, so your comment really resonated with me. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Halifax!
