Set high on a hill with a commanding view of the Bay of Fundy, and the Historic Port and Skyline of Saint John the Homeport Historic B&B/Inn c1858 provides the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the gracious ambiance of Canada's oldest incorporated city. The owners, Karen and Ralph Holyoke, have furnished the HOMEPORT with fine antiques and art in a distinctive maritime heritage theme to reflect the heyday of the clipper ships from 1850 to 1880.
This theme is evident in the 10 large, comfortable guest suites . Each room is impeccably furnished with a queen sized bed covered in fresh crisp linens and a feather duvet. After guests are settled in they are encouraged to visit the elegant main parlor for complimentary afternoon tea and refreshments. To help plan your stay you will find the daily weather forecast and information on events and sights that you may find of interest. Take advantage of a local walking tour along Douglas Avenue to view the many grand old homes on this heritage street. Your hosts also provided 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 whale watching 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.
