Boats, Birds, and The Battery

Bakeapple Cottage was perfect for our weeklong stay in St. John's. Close to downtown for eating and shopping, and near the highways to explore the island. The property was clean and well-appointed.

Perfect location

The cottage was well stocked with everything we could need, the only issue I had was that there were some very warm days (the locals were telling us it was very rare weather) and it seemed to get inescapably hot and humid in the bedroom and the fan provided just didn't seem to make even a dent. By far the best thing was the location, we could walk to everything we wanted to do and see! Lots of restaurants and grocery options nearby.

8 battery

The cottage,location and the view were first class. Cottage was very clean and spacious rooms. Location is just minutes walk to fort Amherst, water and George streets, and many other sites. And the few of the harbour is amazing where you can almost touch the ships going in and out. Would recommend to anyone

Excellent view of a working harbor

This property was just perfect! The view of the working harbor and downtown St John’s was truly lovely. And it was just a few steps from the front door to some excellent hiking! It was a great spot to stay for a few days.

September in St John’s

We stayed at the Baked Apple Cottage for two weeks. The views were amazing and it was fun to watch the ships coming and going from the deck. We did not like the beds as they were both uncomfortable. The first week, there was construction right under our deck. We had to listen to hammering from the night we arrived and for the next 7 days. We just finished a 6 month renovation on our home and did not expect to be right over another construction zone. We loved St John’s.

Great View

Overall the property was very peaceful and serene. My son and his wife did not enjoy the mattress in the second bedroom. They said it was much too hard. For those that still iron you might want to purchase a new ironing board cover.One last thing. Bar soap in the bathroom would have been nice to have. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Cozy cottage with harbour views

The cottage was perfectly located to explore St Johns. We walked into St. John’s for dinner and shopping. The north head trail is right around the corner. It had a great view of the harbour and ships. It was cozy and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the battery and would highly recommend a stay.

What a wonderful little house! The location was perfect and the view was fantastic. We had one extremely stormy day and stayed in. Being able to watch the harbor all day while relaxing in the living area was an added bonus.

Come From Aways enjoying St John’s

We loved staying on Battery Rd with the view of the harbour. It was interesting to see the ships, tugs and passenger cruises coming and going. St Johns is a very walkable city and the location of our rental was perfect to walk downtown. We enjoyed the historic sites in and around St John’s and again Battery Road was the perfect location to navigate from. We will be back.

excellent location for St Johns adventures

This hillside, harbourview cottage was so conveniently located, we never used our car during our stay. We walked to downtown restaurants and shops, and the Signal Hill trailhead was right down the street. We had a bit of a blip upon check in, but we were able to reach the property manangement company via phone to solve the issue. Very quiet neighborhood, with nice views.

Recharged Our Batteries

A perfect space for a couple with views over the entire St. John's Harbour. Well equipped with good beds, covers and pillows. One mar=tress is firmer than the other. Parking is a bit tricky but NO traffic (and a dead-end) so take your time and it's really no problem. We loved watching the harbour both morning and night. Sometimes from inside when it was cool and on the balcony when it was warmer. Close to everything downtown. Recommending to friends.
