Renovated biscuit box style home. Located centrally to the best attractions.
Located on a private lot with beautiful ocean views this 1900’s biscuit box style Newfoundland home was recently renovated for modern day comfort. The area is quiet and the community friendly. It’s conveniently located centrally to all local tourists attractions or you can whale/iceberg watch right from the front veranda. The local wharf is just a 5 minute walk away where you’ll get to see local fishermen come and go with their catch. Just minutes away from restaurants, walking trails, historic towns and beautiful beaches to explore you’ll get the full Newfoundland experience. The town water supply is from a community well that is tested often for safety. It has a mild discolouration that may cause discolouration on white clothing. It is safe to shower and wash with. Use your own discretion for washing laundry. I use it to wash laundry that isn’t a pure white. I have provided a water dispenser in the kitchen area with water to drink, cook and brush your teeth. There will be an extra bottle but if you need more I will provide refills on request. To find us you’ll need to use the address 17 route 235 with Newmans Cove in the search bar of google maps. Be sure to include Newmans Cove along with street address. We are located on route 235 in the community and I’ve placed signage roadside to help you find the house. You can use gps coordinates 48.5881731, -531930418 as well

The cottage was great, no issues. It’s a good location for exploring the Bonavista peninsula, which we did.Appreciated all the amenities and host support.
Our host were welcoming and helpful during our stay, not only that, but they invited us down to the ocean side to watch capelin spawn and taught us many Newfoundland traditions…the house we stayed in gave us ocean view and we watched whales, loons and gorgeous sunsets. It was a perfect stay!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Had fun exploring all around Bonavista and trying different restaurants. Sheila was an attentive and helpful host. We appreciated the extra touches in this cosy home.
I stayed a couple of nights, the location was fantastic for Bonavista and Elliston.
Sheila was great at answering questions quickly.
I would highly recommend staying here!

Charming/cute home with views on to the ocean. Very comfortable beds and within easy driving of Bonavista and Eliston area attractions. Instantly feel at home and relaxing place
Beautiful home. Lots of essentials and personal touches to make you feel at home. Conveniently located and easily accessed. Friendly and available host.
Outstanding location with everything we needed. Excellent host with strong communication skills. Found us live music on last minute notice. Great amenities. We would return in a heartbeat.
Everything we needed was provided. The beds were very comfortable. Very nicely decorated and clean. Communication with the host was very timely. Would recommend to my friends.
This home was PERFECT for our stay. Kids played with the provided board games and loved each having a room to themselves. The extras (bathrobes) were lovely to have and the house was immaculate. Sheila was a dream to work with and we truly wish we could have stayed longer.
It was a wonderful view, we absolutely loved it. We had a small question about checking in but it was dealt with right away. The washer gave us a bit of a problem but overall we had a great time. Thanks

Place was perfect for our group of 5. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Wifi worked well. An older home with small rooms, but the renovation is lovely and a fresh pad to park one vehicle on. We caught a gorgeous sunset one night. The surrounding area offered lots of adventuring, things to see and places to eat. Bonavista is charming.
Great location which allowed us close proximity to bonavista township. We even happened to spot whales off the coast that evening!
Kids loved the stock of games.
Was a bit hot in the bedroom withouth direct windflow, a fan would have been handy but it was unseasonably warm.

This was a beautiful property! We each enjoyed having our own rooms and a whole home. The Wi-Fi didn't work but somebody more tech intelligent than me could have probably got it working. The ares was on a boil water order and the host brought in a water dispenser/cooler so we didn't have to boil water. Super helpful!

Disappointed
House was very clean,we were very disappointed that the washer wasn’t working,and we understand that they were waiting for a part,but we would have liked to have been given notice sooner with an option to stay somewhere else; especially when we had 5 days of dirty laundry to do. We had no television or internet services either;I contacted the host and was told that they had problems earlier in the week; which we also weren’t informed of. We feel we should have been given the opportunity to stay somewhere else or at least given a refund of some monies paid.
Everything you needed was supplied. Very comfy beds. Short 10 minute drive to Bonavista and easy drive to Elliston to see puffins. Sheila the host was excellent at communicating.
