Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The south end is at the end of the Halifax Peninsular. It is a pleasant walk to downtown where you can stroll along the Halifax waterfront and visit the local markets, restaurants, or one of the many pubs. Beautiful beaches and hiking trails can be reached by car in 15-30 minutes. Day trips for hiking or on the water exploring the rugged coastlines are all within 45-60 minutes drive from our home. Day/overnight trips can be made to see the world famous Bay of Fundy tides, experience tidal bore rafting, visit some of the wineries, explore the famous Cabot Trail, Cape Breton or visit Anne of Green Gables on Prince Edward Island!.

It's an easy walk from the house to Point Pleasant Park, downtown, Halifax waterfront, Halifax Public Gardens, Citadel fortress, Emera Oval, Universities, Halifax Convention Center, Halifax Central Library and both Hospitals.
At the Halifax waterfront there is the Pier 21 Immigration Museum where between 1928 and 1971 one in five of all immigrants came through this entrance into a new life in Canada. You can also explore your family genealogy at the museum.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
My husband and I take great pride in our home. Our expectation is that people keep our place neat and tidy yet enjoy themselves in our home as well as our in our community. We will occasionally have back to back exchanges so would like to think that our guests leave the house in same condition for the next party.
