About this house rental
Come Visit the heart of the Rideau and stay in the original Newboro LockMasters house built in 1863. This home has been moved from its original location on the historic Rideau Canal at Newboro Locks, to it's new home minutes up the road. This home boasts a beautiful hiking trail on decommissioned CP Railway tracks which lead past conservation wetlands, to the quaint town's community park. Short walk to marina's, shopping, and dining in Newboro. A short 5 minute drive is the historic towns of Westport, or 20 minute drive to heritage town of Perth.
Down stairs of the Original Lockmasters House you will find the #worldssmallestshop, or Newboro Soap Company. Our hours are Tuesday to Sunday 10- 4. We also have a 2 bedroom house next door that will accommodate up to 4 persons. For parties up to 6 persons we can combine the the 2 properties under 1 booking.
We look forward to hosting you and sharing this wonderful area full of history and adventure.
Sincerely Dani and Paul

An absolutely delightful property. Great location and full of character. Bathroom was very clean with lovely white towels and handmade soap from the lovely shop downstairs. The bed was very comfy and with lovely crisp bedding. We met Dani who was very friendly.
HOWEVER a few small issues did impair our enjoyment of the house: some of the appliances (toaster, kettle) are old and poor quality, the shower head is makeshift, many utensils in the drawers are sticky or unwashed, no ice trays, very old and unappetising-looking selection of spices, salt and pepper, meagre remnants of tea and instant coffee, and an already half-used tiny tube of shampoo are provided “for guests to use”, and an old house book with out of date information scribbled out, which did not feel very welcoming. This was a lack of attention to detail, and the feeling that the house needed a deep clean (especially inside the cupboards), made us feel less cared for, as guests, than we have in other holiday rental properties where the hosts really have gone the extra mile in taking care of us. It is a shame as the house is wonderful.
