Taher Canada

Family run bed and breakfast. The location was about 18 mins from downtown Halifax. We loved the quite and it really was not difficult to get into town. The room was delightful - just like being on a ship. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of tea and coffee supplies with a few little sweets thrown in there. Due to covid breakfast is served in your room or on your balcony. Good choice and the food was great Lovely owners.
