The House

Built in 1864, this registered heritage property commands a spectacular view of Yarmouth harbour. Situated at the very head of the harbour, the 4.5 meter tides ensure that the view is constantly changing. Whether it’s watching the arrival of the international ferries, or the variety of shore birds that change with the tide, there is always something to see. With over two acres of property and grand scenery, there’s lots of room to stretch your legs and your mind.

With only four guest rooms, you’ll enjoy that personal service that you want from a Bed & Breakfast. Learn about the history of the house and how it rose from the ashes to become an award winning historical restoration project.

Easy to find, ample parking, a generous country breakfast, pleasant hosts, extra large rooms with private baths all combine to make your stay with us a memorable one.

Lower Pond with Ducks
Bird Watching

Owls and hawks, herons and kingfishers have all been frequent visitors to the Harbour’s Edge. Mature trees, fish ponds and the rise and fall of the tide make this urban property an oasis for bird life. From dawn to dusk, there is always something to watch for.

For the more adventurous birder, ask your hosts about the local nature trails and seaside locations that promise even greater opportunities to add to your life list of sightings.
