Perfect Location!
My wife and I needed a place to stay as I was attending a conference at Cole Harbour High School and this suited us perfectly!The rental was clean and in a quiet area while being extremely well located to amenities (four minute drive to Mic Mac Mall, 11 minutes to Costco, 20 minutes to downtown Halifax in rush hour traffic).Communication with the host was top notch and I felt like I would have no issue getting into contact if there were any issues.Excellent stay!

Just like Home
If your are looking for cozy, warm and inviting, this is the place for you. The entire environment feels like home, included it’s friendly neighborhood. The suite is comfortable for one person, however, what it lacks in space, it makes up for in luxury.

Really enjoyed our stay
The unit was clean and had everything we needed. It was very nice to sit in the backyard and listen to the water and look at the beautiful plants . Was an easy trip to Halifax when we wanted to sight see. And the neighborhood was nice.

Great location to access NA Indigenous Games and comfy spot.
It was a great place to stay….beautiful indoors and the back with the little garden and brook. Serenity! Conveniently location to easily access the water…Lake Banook is great for walks and for running, water activities. Can walk to grocery store and the lobster roll truck is right at the end of the street. Easy to access the bridge to Halifax activities, waterfront shops restaurants and galleries. Lovely quiet tree lined area. Owner contact and check in to ensure all is well…excellent quality care. Thank you!
