Around The Cottages

06Apr

Our cottages are centrally located in the middle of Rocky Harbour with four restaurants to the North of us, from a two minute walk to a five minute walk.To the South we have three restaurants, one being a one minute from us to the other two being a ten to fifteen minute walk from us.

After a day of exploring Gros Morne you can sit out to the side of the cottages and enjoy the relaxing sound of the babbling Bottom Brook. There is a firepit next to the brook with benches and complimentary dry firewood for an evening fire. You can walk out our driveway and enjoy a stroll along the harbour sidewalk to catch a beautiful sunset over the harbour with the Lobster Cove Head Lighthouse in the background. The sidewalk will take you around the harbour and connect you to most all of Rocky Harbour.

If you enjoy entertainment we are a one minute walk from the Anchors Aweigh Show ( https://bontours.ca/anchors-aweigh/ )or the Newfoundland Kitchen Party!
