The
Harbour Master is so named for the commanding view of the Saint
John port from the large attached sitting room. It is unlikely
that the room was ever occupied by an actual harbour master but
it is thought to have been the home to several of the Roberts
fleet captains when they called on Saint John or readied for the
launch of their new vessels.
Today
this large suite of rooms is ideal for visiting families or an
extended stay by business travelers. The main bedroom is furnished
with an impressive four poster 1830's Cannonball Bed that is a
distinct highlight of this well lit and very spacious suite. The
original bed's mattress was probably filled with dried grass and
goose down suspended by a rope framework but we have given this
up for a more modern pillow top queen size mattress. The sitting
room has a unique built in Mates Bed that dates back to a 1930's
renovation. It is perfect for an afternoon snooze or for families
traveling with children. The business traveler will find this
room ideal for an office on the go with a large work space, private
telephone and data port hookups.
As with all the rooms
at Homeport there is a private ensuite bathroom with an antique
roll rim tub/shower, fresh and fluffy towels and robes as befitting our
5 star service. The Harbour Master bathroom has several unique
decorating touches befitting the maritime heritage prominent in
the overall decor.
