Room tour
Where everyone sleeps.
Five bedrooms, 9 beds, 3.5 baths, plus flexible living spaces for families, wedding groups, retreats, and longer Halifax stays.
Primary bedroom - 1 king bed
Bedroom 1
The king room is the showpiece: custom windows, handmade wood detail, harbour views, and a quiet place to wake up before the rest of the house comes alive.
Upstairs flexible room - 1 bunk bed + 1 sofa bed
Bedroom 2
This is the flexible upstairs sleep room for the larger group setup. The sleep map is the important part here: one bunk bed and one sofa bed, close to the main upstairs bedrooms.
Upstairs queen bedroom
Bedroom 3
A proper upstairs queen room for guests who want a quiet, comfortable bedroom close to the primary suite and main living spaces.
Lower-level queen bedroom
Bedroom 4
One of the lower-level queen bedrooms, giving couples, grandparents, friends, or team members more separation from the busier main floor.
Second lower-level queen bedroom
Bedroom 5
Another real bedroom on the lower level, so the full group can stay together without everyone feeling packed into the same few rooms.
Main living room + sofa bed
Living Room 1
The main hangout for slow mornings, shared meals, movie nights, and one more flexible sleeping option when the whole group is here.
Lower living room + sofa bed
Living Room 2
A second lounge gives bigger groups breathing room, plus another sofa bed when the whole crew is staying together.
Group meals + extra prep space
Kitchen + Dining Spaces
The main kitchen and dining spaces make group meals easier, with extra prep and gathering areas shown here so everyone can settle in for the full stay.

A relaxed deck space for coffee, fresh air, and looking out toward the coastal landscape.
Picnic, BBQ, firepit
Firepit + Yard
Landscaped outdoor areas give guests another place to unwind when weather and local fire rules allow.
