Lofty Haven w Harbour View, Patio, Narrows & Signal Hill, Steps to Downtown
* Note - Still some days left for a great location if you are attending the Brier, coming to St. John's Feb 27 - Mar 8!
Welcome to your Lofty Haven, high above and steps away from our downtown beauty, fun, and world-class restaurants. Notably, the apartment’s stunning living room views made it a featured filming location in the 2013 heartwarming comedy The Grand Seduction, a film that beautifully captures the charm, spirit, and rugged beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador.
This spacious two bedroom apartment has all the comfort and conveniences of home. The comfortable primary King bedroom is bright and inviting, featuring a private patio with stunning harbour view—perfect for sipping morning coffee, waking up slowly, and reflecting on the day ahead. Bedroom two is a Queen bedroom with a full closet and plenty of space to move around and settle in.
The living room space is large and inviting. It features a Smart TV, a lovely electric fireplace as well as a window AC unit for use in season. There is a small desk here as which is perfect for business travelers to stay in the loop and work as need be.
Our full kitchen is spacious, a bit retro, clean and inviting and with all of the necessities and many of the gadgets from home.
The pretty four-piece bathroom features a deep tub, perfect for soaking in after a long day of travel. We do offer plenty of towels, shampoo and conditioner.
Enjoy the experiences of St. John's in all seasons. A short drive away is Signal Hill featuring iconic Cabot tower, bespoke Quidi Vidi Village (https://atlantictraveller.com/quidi-vidi-nl/) with hiking trails, eating and sightseeing attractions; some are seasonal (like cod jigging with 'QV Charters'). As well, you are steps away from the iconic Rooms (therooms.ca). The Postmasters Bakery, Coffee Matters and more, are all within easy walking distance or a short drive from your home away from home.
Lofty Haven area is home to many unique characters and visitors. Keep in mind that this downtown location is part of a lively, vibrant city with all the energy and atmosphere that comes with it. St. John’s is widely regarded as generally safe, especially compared to larger urban centers, but as in any downtown area, it's wise to stay aware of your surroundings—particularly at night or on busy streets like George Street. Use common sense, avoid isolated areas after dark, and enjoy the city’s dynamic charm with confidence.
We do offer one free street parking pass per visit. No returns on this pass will result in a 100$ fee for our cost to replace.
Please note: there are about fifteen outside steps to ascend to reach this unit, it is not ground-level.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Shaw
I was born and raised in St. John's and have always returned often for love of the place, people and experiences available here. And the beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador is truly unparalleled! I love that I can share a little bit of home with others in a beautiful and convenient space, with such an incredible view.
Why they chose this property
I love the location for its proximity to everything downtown, mainly, but there are other place just north of us as well that are intriguing and great to be within walking distance of. The Rooms, for example, is an iconic, uniquely crafted space that is the most extensive collection of artifacts, art and provincial archival records available as well as restaurant and gift-shop all in one. Also visit the Postmaster's Bakery for the sweetest and best quality of detectible treats. All just steps away.
What makes this property unique
This property has been around for awhile. It was once a corner store. And later, it was used as a movie site for the 2013 movie 'The Grand Seduction' for the view from out the living room windows of Lofty Haven. We fell in love with this view and location and have been owners here since 2018. It is wonderful to have this space where we can return to often to visit and also share with others in-between.
