    The location and size of the room were really excellent. It's right in the middle of downtown and on a fairly busy road but there was no sound inside the room with the windows closed. Definitely within walking distance of all of downtown and much...

    Very clean, conveniently located and I appreciated the contact / ability to reach out to the hosts if need be. I also appreciated the 'homey' feel of the place, and the sweet touches in my room, i.e., chocolate.

Company information

We are Kim & Nick and we are excited to have you here. We are originally from Vancouver, BC, Canada. We are avid travellers and love exploring the world. When we first travelled to St. John's, we fell in love with the city and have been back many times. The things we love the most about St. John's are the kind people, live music, amazing hikes, colourful buildings, and world-class breweries. We couldn't think of a place we would rather share with our guests. We want to do everything we can to make this trip unbelievable for you. Thanks for choosing us and please don't hesitate to reach out. We hope you enjoy St. John’s and the rest of Newfoundland as much as we did, and that your stay at the Manor is part of that memorable experience of this incredible city.

Neighbourhood information

St. John's, a city on Newfoundland island off Canada's Atlantic coast, is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador province. Its harbour was settled by the British in the 1600s. Downtown is known for its colourful row houses. Above the city is Signal Hill with walking trails and the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication, Cabot Tower, which commemorates John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland. This home is located in the historic centre of town, among the bustling shops, restaurants, and pubs. Walking distance from many attractions, including George Street, The Rooms, the harbour, Convention Center, and Signal Hill. With a variety of annual events and festivals, unique attractions, breathtaking land and seascapes, there's something for everyone. Many attractions are within walking distance of the property. We recommend you book in advance if you are renting a vehicle. If you need a taxi, a few options are Newfound Cabs, City Wide Taxi, and Executive Taxi (see our guidebook for taxi phone numbers). If looking to take public transit, the nearest bus stop is a 3 minute walk on the corner of Water Street and McBrides Hill.
