Cottage/Villa was terrific. Perfect location, few minutes walk to Signal Hill and downtown. Very clean. Stocked with the necessities and more. Including coffee, tea, sugar, salt, pepper and some spices. Had everything we needed to make meals in the villa. Definitely would recommend.

Just came back from 8 days in St John's. The Anchor cottage was just great. The location is super. It was nice to set out on the balcony and watch the ships come in and out and just enjoy the harbor. The walk downtown was easy, even though the way back has so up hill parts. There is a nice trail up to Signal Hill right by the house. Everything you need is provided. We did some nice day trips so the location is good for that. Enjoy your stay, Rochelle was quick to answer any questions we had.

I knew I would like the location of this little place but it surpassed my expectations. The cottage sits right on the harbour and has a small balcony and a clear view of Signal Hill and the Narrows, through to the west end of town. It was enjoyable to watch ships, tugs and cruise vessels come and go at all hours. Sunsets over St John's were followed by pretty harbour lights. 2 good-sized bedrooms with nice decor and very comfortable queen beds! Part of the East Coast trail was right outside the door, and you can hike to Quidi Vidi or walk into downtown (1km). It was picturesque, peaceful, accessible, clean, stocked with tea and coffee, and a 1 min walk to the Battery Cafe, and 3 min walk to Zachary's! 20 min drive to Petty Harbour, 30 min to Obrien's Boat trips. I would stay for a month if I could.

We finished our 16 day visit to The Rock with 4 nights in this beautiful location. I could sit and watch the Harbour all day and indeed, we did do alot of watching! Everything was spot on, a definite return to place on our list. Thank you for making this spot a place to rent!

House amazing parking. Yikes
The property was absolute amazing. What the renters need to know is that parking is truck. We were driving a one ton dually truck
If we could have been made aware of parking situation ahead of time we could have made other arrangements for a vehicle

Fabulous!
Fantastic spot. We are a family of 4 and could not have asked for better. Roomy, clean, great location, walkable attractions (Signal Hill, simply gorgeous), fabulous view, and easy parking.
This was everything that was promoted and more. Would recommend easily.

The resources and opportunities
We add to our top ratings the opportunities for these special pursuits: a beautiful spot to do paintings and sketches from, to invite guests and family to, to walk and hike from for exercise, to figure out what purposes the ships serve in their design, coming and going. And the changing light during the day and evening are dramatic.

Welcoming home with all amenities on The Battery!!!!
We had 4 nights in this lovely home overlooking the St John’s harbour. From the moment we arrived we felt at home as the owners have thought of everything to make their guests feel comfortable. We were sad to leave and hope to be able to return...and stay longer.

Not a better location in St. John’s
What a way to start our trip! To stay on Battery Road,sitting on the balcony looking down on the harbour will be a memory I will cherish always. The place was well laid out, very quiet, and had everything we needed. It was wonderful to have our own private driveway. The place was ready for us early

Our Second Time Staying Here
Everything was once again wonderful - location, amenities, and the view. We appreciated the coffee being provided (Tim’s!) and the laundry facilities. Loved looking out into the harbour. It was close to everything and yet far enough away to feel quiet at night.

Great cottage. Great location.
The cottage was neat and clean and well equipped. An easy walk to downtown and North Head Trail to Signal Hill. Loved watching all the activity on the docks.

Perfection!! We would highly reccomend a stay here.
We absolutely loved our ocean front cottage. It was clean, had everything we could every need & the view was stunning. It was a perfect home away from home and we were sad when we had to leave. The location was perfect too as it was walking distance to Signal Hill and a little further up was Quidi Vidi where the Brewery is and Mallards cottage. I’d highly recommend a visit. Walking distance too is the downtown. The fact that there was parking, a fully stocked kitchen, and a washer and dryer made our stay very comfortable. It was our first time to Nfld but not our last. When we come back we’ll definitely be staying here again.
