Experience Peace And Tranquility At Charming Cottage In Small Fishing Community.

This home was created by  my parents, she a keen gardener from England, he an educator and businessman who was raised in the community. They  retired here and created a  unique environment amid the rugged setting of an authentic fishing village.  The home is surrounded by hand-planted trees and gardens, and it offers fabulous views of Old  Bonaventure harbour and beautiful  Trinity Bay.     At the rear of the house a small waterfall flows into a stream which runs right under the  house and through the front lawn, providing a most relaxing soundscape for restful  nights of sleep and memorable afternoon naps.     The two double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, accommodate four adults.  There is a large, well-equipped kitchen with double ovens, a five-ring stove top and a dishwasher, along with every imaginable utensil. There is a breakfast area positioned
beneath a skylight, and a more formal dining table overlooking the harbour. The comfortable lounge area is especially cosy with plenty of seating. It also features an inviting 
Vermont Castings wood-burning stove with a supply of firewood. Wi-fi internet access 
reaches all parts of the house and property. For entertainment,  there is a flat­screen TV with Bell satellite service. DVD and CD players are also provided, along with a Bluetooth speaker for iPhones, etc.  A landline phone is provided, with  Canada/US­ wide unlimited long distance calling. This helps offset the fact that, like most rural Newfoundland communities, Old Bonaventure is not serviced by any cell phone service provider.  
The secluded garden features a pond and a wide variety of plants that provide  spectacular colour throughout the spring/summer/fall seasons. The harbour­facing side of the house has a deck (with a gas BBQ). On warm days,  this is a perfect spot to enjoy sunsets, watch fishing boats come and go, and to see  magnificent eagles soar overhead from their nearby nests. There is a glass­roofed  conservatory which is perfect for enjoying those cooler days and for star­gazing at  night. For the musically inclined, there is also a superb piano. For readers, there is a  huge selection of books that cover every interest. Finally, there is an ample collection of  board games and playing cards.    This inviting home is the ideal retreat for a restful and restorative holiday. And when  you are rested, numerous nearby attractions await to connect you with the beauty and  fascinating history of this special part of Newfoundland. For instance, the film site of the acclaimed “Random Passage” series is just a five ­minute drive. (Just one of four films  shot in this area in recent years.) Hiking trails take you to the resettled outports of  Kerley’s Harbour and British Harbour. The Skerwink Trail, an essential experience for  hikers with spectacular views, is just 30 minutes away. Boat excursions for  whale­watching and for glimpsing historic and enigmatic resettled outports depart daily  from New Bonaventure and Trinity. If that is not enough history to satisfy, the 
500 year ­old town of Trinity is only 25 minutes away. 
Newfoundland is famous for it's music and storytelling and there are many local concerts and festivals. Please contact us if you would like information on any events that may be happening during your visit.
The options are endless...and the  comments of previous visitors speak for themselves! This is a holiday experience that  you will want to share with others.

Restorative
We really needed a rest and, as always, Old Bonaventure House was the perfect retreat. Even on a cloudy day it feels as though the house is full of sunshine. Thank you once again, Dawne.

Old Bonaventure Adventure
Beautiful old home nestled in the trees, close to the ocean, wood burning fireplace and a stream running underneath. What more do you need? Very clean home. Owner met us and showed us around. Very quiet area (can’t be any more than 50 residents). Love the solitude. Visited Trinity, Bonavista and surrounding areas. Will be back.

Loved It
Very big place, maybe 2000 square feet, very comfortable, everything we needed. So many interesting treasures to look at, many books. Lovely harbor. Old house but both bathrooms have been modernized. Comfortable beds. Loved the wood burner! Beautiful piano, like new! Solarium. Last few kilometers to get there were quite poor, lots of potholes. Drive carefully. Close to Random Passage. Host was very nice and helpful.

The Real Newfoundland
This rustic house is located in a tiny outport with a beautiful view of the small fishing port of Old Bonaventure. Close proximity to hiking at the Random Passage Site and to the historic town of Trinity where there is an amazing communityTheatre that keeps the history of the area alive. Also about 35 minute drive to the beautiful Skerwink and Fox Island Trails. Road in has incredible vistas but is not for the faint of heart although we did get used to it. Loved the whole area.

An Unforgettable and Peaceful Gem
My daughter and I were fortunate to stay at Old Bonaventure House. We loved everything about it, from the beds and bedding to the rushing stream outside the house and the nearby iceberg. The large, beautifully designed and clean house offered us a relaxing, tranquil space to read, cook and rest. The well-equipped, spacious kitchen had everything we needed and more. We really enjoyed and appreciated the local tea, coffee and chocolates that Dawne provided. The bathrooms were impressive and we found the soaking tub to be a real treat after a day of hiking on the exceptional nearby trails. This house overlooks not only the quaint, quiet village and the ocean, but also beautiful gardens that were nestled amidst the rocky landscape. The giant rhododendrons, azaleas, poppies, lupines and even some tulips were all in bloom and were a feast for the eyes. Dawne is a wonderful host and we hope to be able to return in the future.
