Location

Jonah Place Bed & Breakfast Inn is situated on quiet grounds on the edge of the town of Sussex and just minutes from various restaurants and shops. The famous murals in downtown Sussex and Sussex Corner are on walking distance and can be enjoyed free of charge year round.


			Sussex is a traditional small town nestled in the beautiful Kennebecasis River Valley, surrounded by rolling farm country and located in the largest dairy centre of the Maritimes. Highlights of our rich, local history are presented in the form of impressive murals, painted on walls throughout our beautiful downtown area by renowned mural artists. Come for a visit and see why we are called the 'Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada'! Adding to the charm of Sussex are the many historic buildings in the downtown area. The town has a great variety of shops and restaurants for you to explore. Get a feel of Sussex's agricultural heritage at the Agricultural Museum or visit the 8th Hussars Military Museum at the Sussex Train Station. Located in the middle of Kings County, you will see more covered bridges here than anywhere in the country.




Sussex is at the juncture of the River Valley Scenic Drive and the Fundy Coastal Drive, which makes Jonah Place an ideal starting point for your day-trips in Southern New Brunswick. We are also conveniently located at the crossroads of New Brunswick's three major cities - just 45 minutes from Saint John, 50 minutes from Moncton and 75 minutes from Fredericton. Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia are just a two-hour drive away.
