Homeport Historic Inn c 1858

Saint John, New Brunswick.

High on a hill, with a commanding view of the Bay of Fundy, the historic port & city skyline of Saint John, the Homeport provides the perfect setting to relax & enjoy the gracious ambiance of Canada's oldest incorporated city. Affordable luxury awaits.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Its unique Italianate architecture reflects the opulence of the time with very large bright windows and rooms, 10-foot ceilings, two free-standing spiral staircases, and detailed woodwork rosettes, finials and columns.

The owners have furnished the home with fine antiques and art, in a distinctive maritime heritage theme to reflect the heyday of the clipper ships from 1850 to 1880.

After a great night's sleep, Ralph and Karen want you to start the day off right with the very special and filling "rise and dine breakfast." The hot main course is complemented by fresh in-season fruits and a selection of homemade granola, cereals, teas and fresh coffee. They serve only the freshest pastries, muffins and rolls with homemade jams and jellies to ensure your stay at Homeport will be restful and fulfilling.

Area Attractions and Activities:

Take advantage of a local walking tour along Douglas Avenue to view the many grand old homes on this heritage street. Your hosts also provide a register of menus from local restaurants for planning your evening meal.

The Homeport, as its name implies, is a great spot to base all your travels, be it down the shore for whalewatching or sea kayaking, up river for a quiet country picnic, or around town to view the many historic sights and sounds of Saint John or nearby Reversing Falls.
