The space

This unique suite is geared to impress you with it’s 9.5 ft ceiling height adding to the expansive feel, original building elements, and its heritage style mixed with modern elements. The gorgeous floor boards have been reclaimed from all parts of this building, meticulously laid and lightly sanded and sealed to give the amazing colourful effect. The kitchen and hallway walls are original that were uncovered after scraping many layers of wallpaper, fabric, donnaconna board and paneling off. Many hours of sanding and cleaning went into these walls (if only they could talk) and then they were sealed to preserve them, original nails and all.
Modern touches are also provided in this suite including; the deluxe hotel pillow top queen bed for the ultimate sleep, comfortable and fresh linens and the large comfy couch, which offers a perfect place for an afternoon nap.
Sleep well my friends!
The kitchen is well equipped and should support all of your culinary needs, with plenty of dinnerware, glasses, pots and pans.
Now let’s talk about that mural! Dated in 1903 that is a vinyl wrap made from an original photo of main street. If you are standing on Roberts street looking back towards the hotel that would be the same scene. Wow what a difference 100 + years make.
The bathroom will take you back in time with our use of tile. Styling that would have been used those many years ago, now placed down with a modern application. The “T” on the floor is to acknowledge our logo for the Temperance . Heated floors for your comfort as well as a multi-function shower with rain head.
