    A Must See! So Unique!
    When I went to NLFD I knew I wanted to see Jellybean Row and it did not disappoint. The street is not actually called Jellybean Row but rather Duckworth Road is a a good place to start. Anywhere there are row houses, you will see the colours. A tradition meant to help guide the fisherman home on foggy nights. There is no cost to this walking trip!

    Great Part of any Waling Tour
    You will find these row houses throughout the city. We found a good concentration and varieties starting from Duckworth St and King's Rd. Walk (west) up KIng's Rd to Military Rd, turn right and walk down Colonial St to Grower St. You will also find mailboxes, walls and garage doors attractively painted with color and images.

    Just like jelly beans
    Fun, colourful, quirky, and full of character! You can see these rows of houses with their brightly painted exteriors sprinkled throughout the downtown. I am glad that these are being maintained over the years. But I did notice new row houses on the way up to Signal Hill which were all drab grey. Those should be made more colourful too!

Love the colour!
Jul. 2023 • Couples
It’s so neat to see the colours people pick for their homes. Some places are very well done with flowers that match the homes as well.

Charming neighborhood
Jun. 2023
Newfoundlanders are not afraid of color, and it shows in the exterior of their homes. Jelly Bean Row is charming and its fun colors brighten a city punished by long and harsh winters. Very unique.

Very colourful!
May 2022
As others have mentioned, there are colourful houses in various locations around St. John's. We were staying on Queen's Road and found the area between there and Duckworth quite colourful (especially on Victoria), and there also amazing churches and other architecturally fine structures in the area.

Colours were nice but even more beautiful when the snow fell . Winter is an amazing time to visit this area ! It is more than just a row- it is a whole area

Breakfast Surprise

We have just spent 3 nights at The Jellybean Heritage House. Our room
“Come By Chance” was very comfortable & clean.
Each day Housekeeping came in to make our bed , clean & leave fresh towels- Thankyou Jeff!

We knew we were going to have a continental Breakfast , however were disappointed with the quantity & variety. We had to ask for the cheese & meat tray to be replenished as well as coffee to be refilled.
On the 2nd morning nothing was laid out as well as the hired help did not arrive. We along with other guests went into the kitchen, made coffee, washed fruit & laid out cheese , salami & bread.To say the least, this was very shocking to all of us to have to do this!

Our last morning, a minimal amount of cheese & salami was set out & coffee made but no one in sight to replenish the food or coffee so once again had to fend for ourselves…..
Fortunately we knew where more dishes were as there were not enough set out for all the guests.

Given this experience, we would recommend instructions left on how to operate the coffee grinder & Ninja coffeemaker! Also, boiled eggs would have been a welcome addition.

The Jellybean Heritage House is a lovely old home situated within walking distance of many of the St.John’s attractions

Colorful!
Sep. 2022 • Couples
Colorful row of buildings. Was great to see this in person after seeing only pictures of it. However, one of the buildings badly needed painted. I know this is tough times with Covid but I would have thought such an icon of Newfoundland would have been better maintained. Still definitely worth going to see though!

Lots of history and colours to be seen
Sep. 2022
They say it's like San Francisco, and it does... this place is full of history, having been destroyed in the fires just over 100-200 years ago, truly spectacular neighbourhood!
