Harbour house was charming. Loved the nautical theme in the room. The complimentary breakfast was lovely. Proximity to the theatre was a bonus. Absolutely loved our stay.
Room was spotless and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

I have stayed at Harbour House many times but hadn’t been there for a few years. Staff were amazing and the grounds were well maintained. The only thing I noticed is that the rooms are looking a little’tired’; not the high standard I came to associate with the hotel. Our bathroom sink was cracked and the furniture had many gouges. A refresh is needed
The property was very clean, the rooms were well appointed. The breakfast was amazing. The wine and cheese upon arrival was a nice touch. Will be back for sure.
Great stay , wonderful breakfast , premier king room was clean and spacious ; the staff was exceptional answering all questions; the only negative was the room safe did not work.
The room was amazing - clean, spacious, loved the fireplace and the bed was very comfortable. Staff at breakfast was very helpful with gluten free and we ate plenty. Desk staff was great with giving tips on best places to go and helping arrange the courtesy shuttle.
We had a wonderful stay at Harbour House. I mentioned ahead of time that we were visiting to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and the staff went out of their way to leave a lovely little card and treat in our room. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the trip feel extra special. The hotel itself was cozy, peaceful, and in a perfect location. We would absolutely stay here again!
Harbour House was the perfect location for our visit to the Ice Wine Village. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in our room after a cold day outside. The hotel breakfast was among thebest
This was a beautiful place to stay. The location was close to the main shopping area, but off the beaten path. It was right beside the water. The room was comfortable, spacious, and very clean. There were lots of nice extras, including free parking, amazing breakfast, valet service, and more. The staff was friendly and quick to offer assistance. We loved our stay here and hope to return.
