    Our room was spacious and comfortable. Essentially it was a suite with a small table for breakfast, a couch for relaxation, and a nice bed. The bathroom had a shower, and a spa tub which we did not use.

    Wish we could have spent longer here

    Fabulous accommodation. You walk in to a huge, shared kitchen then upstairs to one of 2 rooms. The room was spacious and comfortable. Attention to detail was superb. The views over the bay were amazing, especially at sunset. The spa bath was fabulous especially after a long drive. The location was excellent. We were able to walk easily into the town for dinner

    It was only on the last night it became an issue as guest are quite respectful. the walls were quite thin. when the TV is on very loud it blasts through the walls. Even when it’s turned down I could still hear it till past midnight. If you are a light sleeper this could be an issue. The hosts do have signage up saying please be quiet after 11pm.

    Location. The space was comfortable. The hosts try to go the extra mile to think of what would make their guests stay great.

    Our room had a sitting area facing the ocean, a beautiful place to watch the sunset...or you could go outside and walk right down to the coastal rock to see it from there! This is a good hub to stay at least two or three nights, take advantage of the fully equipped kitchen, make some of your own meals to save a few dollars. There's lots to do and see in the area- icebergs, puffins and/or whales depending on when you're there, museums, hiking, cycling, lots of geological wonders... kitchen parties, quaint cafes...

    Having to leave! All good, thank you, great stay 👍

    We stayed 4 nights which worked well with things to do around Bonavista. The location of the apartment was excellent we had a lovely clean quiet room with a view. The kitchen facilities were excellent and the parking for my truck was easy. Herb the owner was really nice and friendly. A really pleasant relaxing stay, thank you.

    Nothing really. But the stairs might be a deciding factor for some.

    The place was spotlessly clean, and the room was big. It had everything we needed, including lotion, which is not usually provided. There is direct access to the beach, and we saw iceberg from a distance. Herb, the owner, was nice and responsive.
