Good to know
Safe Haven - Viewville Gardens is a quiet and cozy 800 square foot apartment with a queen-sized bed and full tub with shower. Located just a 7 minute drive (or a pleasant bike ride) from St. Martha's Regional Hospital, the apartment is fully equipped for extended stays with a complete chef's kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, and a comfortable layout, making it perfect for travel nurses or professionals on assignment. Located just a 4-minute drive or a 20-minute walk from St. FX University, this is an ideal base for visitors attending homecoming, graduation, or other campus events. The professional-grade dedicated home office with a large desk, ergonomic chair, and fast Wi-Fi makes this an ideal choice for those needing to work productively while traveling. The cozy layout, beautiful professional gardens, and thoughtful touches like a picnic backpack create a perfect setting for a romantic and relaxing getaway. With our exceptionally well-stocked kitchen and beverage station, featuring America's Test Kitchen recommended tools, our guests can prepare meals and enjoy premium drinks, adding convenience and value to their stay. Safe Haven is available for medium and short-term guests. We can provide an inflatable mattress. Extra bedding is available upon request. A high-chair and portacot for children is also available upon request. Please let us know if you are travelling with children, and we will bring additional age-appropriate amenities into the space. Architects, designers, and professional landscapers have worked together to carefully curate Viewville Gardens to ensure that windows on the property provide both beauty and privacy. The angles of sight lines, along with natural screening provided by landscaping, mean that you can enjoy the beautiful garden views freely. Surrounded by mature trees, lush shrubs and blankets of flowers, the gardens offer quiet relaxation and birdsong. The grounds are lovely in all seasons. Safe Haven is located off the main street, and just off on a private residential lane used by five quiet long-term residents and our AirBNB guests who travel to and from primarily by car. Safe Haven provides blackout blinds in the bedroom - and blinds for the kitchen, dining area, and living room windows, and on the entry door - to use, if you prefer. A clothes washer and dryer is available free for guest use inside the apartment. Unscented detergent by Nellie's is provided along with an iron, ironing board, air drying rack, lint brush, sewing kit and stain remover. A portable air conditioner with insulated hose is provided seasonally for comfort. We provide a smart lock for seamless self-entry, and there is an exterior security camera on site. A fire extinguisher, fire blanket, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, emergency flashlights and a first aid kit are provided. Free parking is available to our guests. Very quiet long-term residents live in the home above. In my experience of the space, I have only rarely been aware of faint sound coming from the upstairs unit. We are 100m from a bakery/corner grocery store which is open 6:00am-10:00pm daily. It is an excellent place for basic supplies such as cream for your coffee or milk for your tea. They are known for their cinnamon buns which we smell fresh from the oven and have good sandwiches wrapped and ready in the fridge. We are within a short drive to several beautiful beaches and provincial parks. Beach towels are provided. It is 16 min to Mahoney's Beach, 21 min to Arisaig Beach and Provincial Park, 24 min to Pomquet Beach/Park and 38 min to Cape Breton by car. Many guests will stay with us on their way to and from the Cabot Trail. We are located 1 hour 45 minutes from the Halifax international airport and 2 hours 7 minutes from the North Sydney Marine Atlantic Ferry Terminal to Newfoundland.
Other Details to Note
