A Great Place

The view of the harbour makes this place truly unique. Everything is very comfortable and the location is very convenient to downtown and the major sights. One drawback is that the parking is very tight, so if you are renting a car, the smaller the better.

Perfect cottage. Very clean, gorgeous view. Close to downtown St. John's easy walk. We loved our stay and the rooms were perfect. Only one complaint if you could call it that, the sun was so strong in the dining area and there were no window coverings, so it was extremely hot. Not a big deal. We will definately book again.

Fantastic location!

Lovely place in a fantastic location! We were here for 4 days of solid fog and loved it regardless. The sound of the foghorn across the harbor was mystical, it was an easy walk to restaurants and bars on Water street, and we loved looking out over the harbor! Beds are very comfortable though oversized for the space.

Beautiful Battery Cottage

Egg Down Cottage was perfect for our family trip. With the bedrooms on two levels we had plenty of space for our luggage and the kitchen and dining area was well suited to our basic cooking needs. We loved watching the ships from the upper level deck and walking to many shops and restaurants. We would stay here again! Absolutely would recommend any of Rochelle's properties. Also, the neighbors next door are absolutely DELIGHTFUL and very kind.

We had an awesome time in St Johns' and the eastern area of Newfoundland Egg Down cottage was a GREAT location to watch the ships come and go in the St John's harbor, this made our morning coffee and evening cocktails very enjoyable. Egg Down Cottage was close to downtown and all the other locations that we wanted to see in the area. Also, the beds/mattresses, wow ...... we all had a Great sleep on them.

Excellent - couldn't be better.

Great cottage for multi-generational family. I travelled with my 90+ yr old Mother, who was able to access everything on one floor, while my sister and I slept downstairs. The Cottage was well detailed, providing things we forgot we needed. Pictures are exact wysiwyg and more. Beds, linens, towels, etc. all were excellent. Rochelle was incredible before we even booked, answering several questions and conserns we needed just right - and in the end everything was perfect, like staying at a friends. Location is amazing. Definitely, would recommend and hope to have an opportunity to visit again

The Battery

Wicked spot. I’m from Harbour Grace but living in Ontario. I brought 3 people from Ontario who have never been in Newfoundland before. They couldn’t believe it. I could stay in Harbour Grace whenever I want but I will be staying in the Battery every time I’m home now. Great place watching the crab boats and ships going in and out of the narrows all day and night. I could hardly sleep it was so great to watch. Great accommodations with a nice Deck and large windows to see the harbour every minute you are awake. Great neighbours. I will definitely be back. Thanks.

The reservation online was difficult. It was my third, and last attempt, when it finally worked (I’m not new at this!) Everything else was great and we would recommend it. A few specifics: Sharp knives appreciated Nice soaps and towels We were there for thanksgiving and there was no roasting pan or meat thermometer - can’t fault you for that mind you, just an observation. Was great to see some things left in cupboards, like foil and plastic wrap, tea, etc Great facility!

Nice Place, But...

Overall our stay was great. We loved the location and view of the harbour. The kitchen was well stocked (even though we didn't cook). The beds were comfortable. The bed in the "master bedroom" was too large for the size of the room. A queen might make it easier to move around. The downstairs was roomy. The downstairs bathroom sink is a little high but that was a very minor issue. The reason we can't give this cottage a 5 star review is because when we arrived to the cottage in the evening after an entire day of travel, the cottage had not been cleaned. We immediately reached out to the management company and Rochelle. Rochelle was very responsive to us and explained that we were left off the list for cleaning. She was willing to put us up in an hotel for the night but after several calls with the management company and Rochelle a cleaning crew was able to come in that evening and clean. We went to dinner and when we returned the cottage was clean, but there were no towels left in the master bedroom and there was food left in the refrigerator and used mouthwash left in the master bedroom. Overall, it felt like the cleaning company rushed to clean the cottage. We did appreciate that Rochelle went through a lot of effort to make it right for us, but were surprised she didn't follow up after the cleaning crew finished. We would recommend staying at this cottage and chalk up our cleaning nightmare as a one off.

Thank you Rochelle so much! The photos do not do your charming cottage justice - when we first entered the cottage both the cottage and the view took my breath away. We were very lucky to have stayed at Egg Down Cottage and highly recommend! The amenities on property such as towels provided and coffee etc. were generous as well. Thank you again!
