Televisions: The receiver for the TV in the kitchen is located on the backside of the TV, thus it is best to aim the remote at the side of the TV to ensure communication with the receiver. In the family room, the receiver is in the bottom cabinet underneath the TV. It works best to leave this door open when watching TV so the remote can operate properly.

If the water level is low, the machine will show a warning light of a red water drop. To add more water, just remove the water container from the front left hand side. If there is a red exclamation mark, please check the receptacle on the front right side to ensure it is empty of coffee grounds.
To being preparing your coffee, remove the clear lid from the top of in-unit bean grinder and pour in coffee beans. On the dial in the front middle, you press the top button for espresso or the bottom button for an americano. The dial gives you the options to grind beans, get hot water for tea, or to steam milk. If you use the steamer, please note the end unscrews for easy rinsing. We ask that you please rinse it after each use.

To open the door: When you enter your code, the door will open. To close the door: Press the lock button in the centre and wait until you hear the door closing. Please ensure the door is locked when you leave. There is a key box which houses a door key in case the automaker lock doesn’t function properly for you.

Our home is located in the heart of the famous Sir Sanford Fleming Park. The park’s 95 acres provides all the space you need, whether you are interested in a quick bike or jog, or a long stroll. The park is very popular and enjoyed by many residents and visitors.
Suggested Activities: Visit the Dingle Tower: Designated a national historic site in 2009, the Dingle Tower, less than a 10 minute walk away, is worth a visit. The views of Halifax’s Northwest Arm from anywhere in the park are fantastic, and the view from the top of the Dingle Tower is the amazing.

Photoshoot in the Park: The park is also a great spot for those looking for beautiful backdrops for photos. There might not be a better spot in the city for outdoor photos, especially in the spring time.
Get a Dose of History: During the War of 1812, Deadman’s Island was a military training grounds that turned into a burial ground for American prisoners of war. Deadman’s Island Park is only a 1km walk away, and offers you great views of the harbour as you step back in history.
Go for a Swim: A 2.5km walk away is the popular local swimming spot, Chocolate Lake Beach. The lake is not made of chocolate, but it is still an enjoyable place to spend an afternoon.
