We had an awesome time in St Johns' and the eastern area of Newfoundland
Egg Down cottage was a GREAT location to watch the ships come and go in the St John's harbor, this made our morning coffee and evening cocktails very enjoyable.
Egg Down Cottage was close to downtown and all the other locations that we wanted to see in the area.
Also, the beds/mattresses, wow ...... we all had a Great sleep on them.

Egg Down Cottage was perfect for our family trip. With the bedrooms on two levels we had plenty of space for our luggage and the kitchen and dining area was well suited to our basic cooking needs. We loved watching the ships from the upper level deck and walking to many shops and restaurants. We would stay here again! Absolutely would recommend any of Rochelle's properties.
Also, the neighbors next door are absolutely DELIGHTFUL and very kind.

Wicked spot. I’m from Harbour Grace but living in Ontario. I brought 3 people from Ontario who have never been in Newfoundland before. They couldn’t believe it. I could stay in Harbour Grace whenever I want but I will be staying in the Battery every time I’m home now. Great place watching the crab boats and ships going in and out of the narrows all day and night. I could hardly sleep it was so great to watch. Great accommodations with a nice Deck and large windows to see the harbour every minute you are awake. Great neighbours. I will definitely be back. Thanks.

The location is great. We all enjoyed watching the boats and harbour activity. The deck was lovely for drinks on the warm summer evenings we had while there. The walk into the downtown is enjoyable. Having our own parking spot was appreciated. The cottage is well equipped.

Location was great. Walked to restaurants, historical sites and Hop On hop off bus. Perfect accommodation for two couples as bedrooms and bathrooms are on different floors. Loved watching the ships come and go in the harbour.

Lovely place in a fantastic location! We were here for 4 days of solid fog and loved it regardless. The sound of the foghorn across the harbor was mystical, it was an easy walk to restaurants and bars on Water street, and we loved looking out over the harbor! Beds are very comfortable though oversized for the space.

We stayed at the The Battery and it was amazing. The location was exceptional for day trips and we had also the perfect view overlooking the St. John's harbour. We were fortunate enough to see the largest cruise ship ever to dock in the harbour (The Sky Princess). Rochelle (Host/owner) was extremely accommodating as we originally booked this vacation in 2019, but had to keep pushing out because of Covid.
I would definitely recommend The Battery to friends and other family members

A minute’s drive to a beautiful sunrise, a step away from a breathtaking hike, an addictive brownie at the end of the drive, a short drive to world class hikes, walkable to Downtown restaurants and shopping, walkable to terrific little grocery store (Blebins) to stock the topnotch kitchen, and gorgeous views of the city at sunset. Lots of memories made even better by staying at this cottage.

We loved this property. The views of a working harbour are great. The property has been remodeled in a good way! It was stocked with all the needed items to cook local fish. The decks were perfect for entertaining and the location allowed us to walk to the places we wanted to see! We would stay again!

We all thoroughly loved our time at Egg Down cottage. Large deck overlooking the harbour was used all day, when we were there. Nice nautical themed items throughout the cottage added to the cozy vibe. (The beds were so comfy, with top quality bedding. Thank you!!) We would highly recommend this spot and feel lucky it was available when we began our accommodation search. 👍

Perfect location for a once-in-a lifetime trip.
There's some excellent day trips out of St. John's, making it a great location to head out of. But if you decide to settle in and just look out the window, you won't be bored! You've got the beautiful harbour to watch, with its dancing gulls, and ships coming and going. It's just far enough from the busy downtown for healthy walkers, or a short cab away if you've planning on partying on George St.
We completely recommend, and loved our stay..

The reservation online was difficult. It was my third, and last attempt, when it finally worked (I’m not new at this!)Everything else was great and we would recommend it. A few specifics:Sharp knives appreciated Nice soaps and towelsWe were there for thanksgiving and there was no roasting pan or meat thermometer - can’t fault you for that mind you, just an observation. Was great to see some things left in cupboards, like foil and plastic wrap, tea, etc Great facility!

Wow.
I was so ready to move in. The house is spotless with a terrific kitchen, comfortable beds and couches, great showers. And so perfectly located: easy to walk downtown, to get to Signal Hill and those hikes, even walking distance to grocery stores. Just to sit in the living room or on the deck and enjoy the wonderful view of the harbor was a treat. And quiet! If you go to St. John's- and you should - , you should stay here!

Great location and accommodation
We were travelling with an extended family group, so we needed space to accommodate all of us. We rented two properties from Rochelle: the Dogberry cottage and the Eggdown cottage. Both were excellent. They were immaculately clean, fully equipped, and ideally located. Rochelle was a wonderfully flexible and responsive host: I had responses to all of my questions very quickly, and she was able to accommodate my requests. Rochelle also left several brochures with suggestions of activities that we could do. The two cottages overlook the St. John's harbour, which provide an excellent view of the ships coming and going. While I was expecting to hear noise from the harbour, I was pleasantly surprised that the location was peaceful and quiet. The location also makes walking downtown very easy (we could get from the cottages to George Street in about 30 minutes on foot) and accessing Signal Hill is quick. Walking / hiking trails throughout Signal Hill begin about 300 metres from the front door of the cottages. Overall, our experience was wonderful, and I would definitely book with Rochelle again. We are already counting the days until our next visit to St. John's.

Better than pictures
They say a picture says a thousand words, but in this case, being there far outweighed the pictures. the view from the deck , which accommodated all 6 of us, was one of the best views in St Johns.
Clean, comfortable and convenient.

St Johns
The Egg Down cottage nestled in the side of the hill overlooking St John’s harbour was a lovely spot to stay with our extended family. The house was very well equipped and the decor had a designers touch. The location was very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay. The sound of the water and the fans made it very enjoyable. It was interesting watching all the harbour activity.

Perfect Location and Fantastic Cottage
The pictures do not do the cottage justice - it is even nicer. You are nestled into an historic part of St. John's which was very cool.
There is a huge deck overlooking the harbour and city. You can even look out to the ocean if standing at the edge of the deck. You are steps away from Signal Hill and all the hiking trails. 15 to 20 minute walk to the bars and restaurants, or $8 cab ride. Very nice cafe just 30 seconds away.
We had three couples staying over four nights and there was plenty of room with two full baths and three comfy bedrooms. Large dining table looking through the big windows onto the harbour.
Two large TVs with full cable package and fast internet. Everything was there that we needed.
The cottage was very clean, including nice towels and bed sheets. The shower had good water pressure.
Rochelle was fast and informative when replying to emails.
We had an amazing trip and would definitely return to this cottage.

Perfect!
Fantastic rental! This cozy cottage had all the amenities and then some needed for a nice relaxing getaway. Great views of the harbour to watch the ships come and go, as well as a two level of outdoor space that helps to provide more room for entertaining or just hanging out.
The cottage was clean, the beds were comfy and the views...!
Definitely would recommend and would stay again

Perfect vacation cottage!
We absolutely loved this cottage! In fact, we all (there were four of us) think it is perfect! It’s located in the historical battery area and is incredibly quaint but with modern amenities. The view of the harbor is gorgeous and watching the ships come and go was captivating. Both the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms have views of the harbor. The cottage is very well furnished with everything we needed and extremely comfortable. Being able to walk to town was an added plus!
