Neighbourhood highlights

This home is located in the historic Battery, a neighborhood of quaint and colourful homes that seem to cling to the cliffs of Signal Hill. The Northhead Walking Trail passes by the front door, and leads to Signal Hill National Historic Park, the Interpretation Centre, Cabot Tower and many historic points of interest within the park, as well as the Geo Centre and Memorial University's Signal Hill Campus.

The Battery is the perfect location for your stay in St. John’s - guests are within walking distance to some of the best food, shopping, nature, and nightlife that St. John’s has to offer. Favourites include Battery Cafe for your morning java, Classic Cafe for a traditional Newfoundland meal, the Water Street Pedestrian Mall for supporting local shops, Bannerman Brewery for an afternoon pint, and Bellissimo Bistro for a delicious Italian supper, all within walking distance from the cottage. Historic sites such as the Colonial Building, Government House, and The Rooms are also a short walk away.

Want to stay in and enjoy the view from the cottage’s deck instead? Stock up and cook to your heart’s content in the newly renovated kitchen with groceries from Belbin’s Grocery, only a 10-minute walk from the cottage.
