THE RENDELL SHEA MANOR, St. John's

The Rendell Shea Manor occupies a restored 19th-century building situated 80 metres from Government House. Each room includes a fireplace and a seating area, with flat-screen TVs offering cable channels. The property provides a terrace and a garden for guest use, along with free WiFi throughout.

All units at the guesthouse are fitted with a wardrobe, a seating area, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Rooms are named after local landmarks, such as The Cape Spear Room and The Mayor Shea Room, each with a private bathroom. The Ambrose Shea room offers a king bed, and several guest reviews note the comfortable memory foam mattresses.

The manor is 1.5 km from George Street, St. John's main entertainment district, and 400 metres from Bannerman Park. Guests can walk to The Rooms museum (700 metres), the Basilica of St John the Baptist, and Signal Hill (2.4 km). The property has a location score of 9.7, and St. John's International Airport is 6 km away.

A professional host manages the property, providing advance check-in details and parking passes for street parking. The self-serve kitchen offers homemade Newfoundland buns, pastries, yogurt, fruit, and tea/coffee each morning. Guests receive a quiet, soundproofed stay, with late checkout and luggage storage available upon request.

Nearby dining options include Venice Pizzeria and Bannerman Brewery, both within a short walk. The guesthouse provides a continental breakfast setup with fresh baked goods, but no hot meals are served on-site. Guests can also use the common living room and patio for their own meals.
