~Our Journey~
The Caniff Homestead
Weclome to the Caniff Homestead. This structure has gone through so many phases in it's 145 years of exsistance. Starting out it's life as a family home of six in the 1800's, to a car repainting workshop, a barn for housing animals. Now under our families care we have given it a new life as a boutique carrying only the finest quality products.
