About

Affordable accommodation needs not be institutional, or impersonal. We have invested in quality, because your hostel is also our home.

Charmed by Island life, we have crossed the bridge and chosen a path. Years of backpacking travel experience from both sides of the desk culminates in the ideal small hostel to fit the ideal small island. Inside the picturesque birthplace of Canada, an immaculate concept is borne.

Check In and Chill Out.

We have Female-Only as well as All-Gender dormitory rooms, private and family rooms are also available on a limited basis, book early to avoid disappointment. If you are looking for a room and cannot find it online, please contact us directly by e-mail or telephone.

Relax after a day of touring on our leather sofas, perhaps watching one of our many DVDs, VHS, or your favourite streaming channel on our SmartTV that sits over the fireplace. Or enjoy a beverage in the evening on our large deck. Just steps away, our recreation room features a custom made billiard table, free book exchange, stereo, or you may listen to our extensive collection of vintage vinyl. Of course, we have friendly, accommodating, and respectful staff. Free street parking. Limited off-street parking.
