Salt & Battery, St. John’s, Nfld

We had a wonderful stay at a beautiful property. The description was spot-on and if anything, they over-delivered. Everything we could ask for in a perfect location. Close to downtown, right on the harbour, walkable to Signal Hill. For us too as a three adult family group (mom, dad, daughter), it was a big plus to have 2 equally sized and furnished bedrooms, large fully equipped kitchen, two washrooms, a living room and a deck.

Perfect property

This property was perfect for walking to all of the attractions that St. John’s has to offer….the proximity to the harbour provides a beautiful view and lots of activity surrounding the ships in port…..staying in a house at the base of Signal Hill was a treat….the house is just as it appears in the photos and the hosts were attentive to all of our needs.

Perfect!

We’ve never stayed at a cleaner nor better equipped and decorated place than salt & battery! The location was perfect for downtown access and scenic hill trails - with beautiful views of the St John’s harbour. Every detail of a comfortable stay is looked after - and Tracey was great to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Exceeded my expectations

Beautiful decor, comfy beds, and clean clean clean. Above and beyond, providing small snacks like granola bars and fruit snacks to make up remover pads and wet wipes in the bathroom. Bedrooms had plenty of extra linens and a toasty quilt you could add to the bed if your a little chilly. Easy access to the signal hill trails. Overall, I’d give this place and host a 12 out 10. :-)

This was our 1st VRBO rental. The whole process was seamless. The hosts went above and beyond what I expect are the necessary requirements for a rental. The home was spotless, well-equipped with EVEYTHING we could possibly need. They were also easy to reach. This will be hard to beat with any future rentals we choose. Thank you to Paul and Tracy and your caretakers. Dawn, David and family.

Great spot in St. John's

Near everything, but not in the midst of everything. A short walk and you were on Water Street for shopping, dining and drinking. A few more minutes and it's live music on George St. Turn the other direction and you're on the path up to Cabot Tower. Place was well outfitted and comfortable.

Newfoundland Reunion

This property was wonderful, and so close to everything downtown, and hikes at Signal Hill. I was born in Nfld, and on this trip back, I brought my new husband, my son and daughter in law, and grandchildren. We loved waking up every morning, and enjoying the view of the harbor. Parking was crazy, but the neighbors kept us straight. Truly enjoyed everything. We will be back!

Fabulous find

This property was truly special. Every detail in the decor was lovingly planned and resulted in a visually beautiful and functional space. The location provided stunning views of the harbour and the working vessels. Was within walking distance of downtown and also Signal Hill. As others have mentioned, parking is tight but it is manageable. Highly recommended.
