Summary:
Welcome to Wind Rose Suites! Follow us on IG/FB @windrosedestinations!
Originally built in the early 1800s, this suite is a beautifully renovated flat in an urban heritage building on Victoria Avenue in Belleville, steps away from a beautiful downtown district with boutique shops, restaurants, a riverfront walking trail and much more!
The Space:
This 940 sq ft. apartment suite provides plenty of character but with modern amenities. The long gated, covered patio that stretches the length of the building is a favourite spot on warm days and evenings and to enjoy a meal or conversation.
An open-concept kitchen, dining room and living room creates a welcoming spot to gather, entertain and relax. We don't allow loud parties but as a consummate host and a former restaurateur, I have provided everything you will need to enjoy a nice meal in the suite. Take-out and delivery is available from many of the local restaurants. Check out my welcome book and website for my favourite recommendations. The dining tables (inside and out) seat six comfortably. I have wooden high chairs available upon request.
Enjoy hanging out on the comfy couches watching tv or movies, playing games or reading books. It's all there for you! If you want to get comfy, there is a little electric fireplace and extra blankets and pillows.
I have included a desk space by a big window facing the patio so you can work without feeling like you're missing out! Free hi-speed internet and a Smart TV is included!
Both bedrooms have comfy queen-sized beds and armoires to keep your clothes tidy. One bedroom is dark, cozy and quiet and the bedroom is light and bright and has a comfy chair to hang out in. The two couches in the living room can be pulled down to create extra sleeping spots.
A washer and dryer in the main room help to make longer stays more comfortable. This is a private apartment and you will have the entire space to yourself. Private access to the upstairs unit is via the patio and there is complimentary private parking in the rear of the building.
We use a coded lock system on both the gates and the doors and guests will automatically be sent the private codes before your arrival.
The bathroom is small but bright and clean and has a brand new shower and toilet (with a removable lid) for extra thorough cleaning. I run a salon and spa, so I know all about proper sanitation!
An Ontario Parks parking pass is included with your stay. It allows access to all of the provincial parks nearby (including Sandbanks). Valid from April 1 - Nov 30 each season. Please return the pass to the suite once you're done using it so that it's there for the next guest! I have picnic coolers and beach blankets available upon request.
Guest Access:
You have the entire space, including the outdoor patio available to use. The gated patio is also accessed by the unit upstairs but they have their own balcony to hang out on.
- 1 complimentary parking space & rent parking spaces during your stay for $15 per night
The Neighborhood:
You are in the heart of Belleville, but on a quiet section of the street with a church on one side and a hair salon on the other (also run by your host Sharon). Being in the centre of it all puts you close to just about everything you could want to do in the area, including visiting wineries, breweries, galleries and the local waterfront and beaches.
Getting Around:
Check out the welcome book and my website for more details on the surrounding area (so much good stuff nearby!) but just know that you are in the heart of it all and close to everything! We have free parking, are on a transit route and are within walking distance to the Riverfront trail and Downtown District shops, galleries and restaurants. We are close to the hospital, the industrial park, Zwicks park, the Wellness Centre, the YMCA, the Trenton Air Base and Museum. Prince Edward County is just across the bridge over the beautiful Bay of Quinte and is a hub for all kinds of other awesome things to do!
Other Things to Note:
This is a heritage building on a quiet-ish side street in the Downtown District. There is not a bustling nightlife in Belleville but there are noises. There is another unit upstairs and you will hear them walking across the floors but that's about it. Please respect them as you also share access on the patio. Why not make some new friends?!
Feel free to pop your head in the salon to say hi (I'm there Wednesday to Saturday), I will probably be busy with clients but would still love to meet you!
Interaction with Guests:
This is a private suite located just next door to The Cat's Meow Salon, my other business. I work 2 seconds away and live just 5 minutes away so am available but will not intrude on your stay! You may even want to book a service in my salon while you visit! Book ahead to get a spot. I'm usually pretty busy as I have been a hairstylist in Belleville for more than 20 years!
