St. John’s - Hipditch House

"... In a way, my staying here undermines Sooley’s master plan. I’m quite comfortable. The house’s decor is blue, white and nautical, and staying here it’s hard not to feel like a spoiled kid in a sailor suit"... Joel Yanofsky writes about his stay at Hipditch House

Just a ten-minute walk from downtown.  This culturally rich neighbourhood—which retains the look and character of a 19th century fishing village despite its city location—is the oldest in St. John's, a fitting place for a century-old house like Hipditch.

In 2005, the home was completely renovated in a manner that perfectly combines nautical themes with eclectic styles. One step outside and you're along Signal Hill National Historic Park, which sits high above the harbour at the foot of Gibbet Hill (named for the hangman's platform used in colonial times). You'll also notice two fantastic interconnected trails that pass by the house: Signal Hill Trail and urban trail know as the Grand Concourse that travels through the city.

"...The Best Seat In The Harbour.  The jaw dropping view, the quiet serenity, the glorious deck, and the beautiful winding paths all add up to a stay that has to be experienced to believe.  Here is the resting place for the weary jet lagged modern soul. A trip that feeds head and heart..."  Al Rae, Artistic Director, Canadian Broadcasting Corp., Winnipeg Comedy Festival
