Guest Reviews
- Dean (10/5): -
- Karyan (9/5): Je recommande les yeux fermés! - Le propriétaire est ultra sympathique! Il a tout organisé pour qu’on puisse visionner le match de hockey dans le bar, il s’est assuré qu’on ait de quoi manger comme nous sommes arrivés tard. La vue de la chambre sur le Golfe, incroyable! Le couché de soleil, splendide. Lits confortables, tout ce qu’il faut pour être bien! Rien! Seul point, si vous venez pour le parc de Gros Morne, vérifiez dans quelle zone du parc se trouvent vos randonnées, car il peut y avoir jusqu’à 1h30 de route. Le Motel est près de la partie nord.

- Pauline (7/5): Good location - We had a 2 bedroom cottage. The beds were good, kitchen well stocked. The place was slightly dated. I would have liked a better sitting area at the front of our cottage.

- John (9/5): A beau - The location was ideal break in our dash to the vikings. Food was good. The big bonus was the view of the of st laurence from our window. I had left a sweatshirt behind. They found it and we enjoyed a further meal. Seafood has been excellent everywhere. A bit easier to adjust the temperature.

- Nicole (7/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): - They had a restaurant on site which was helpful as it was the only restaurant in the village and for several miles

- Bilsland (7/5): We had a one night stay on our way up the Viking coast. It was fine - We enjoyed having an on site restaurant and the food was good. Service was good,
Staff friendly. The hot tub looking into the ocean a bonus. The carpets dirty and stained -
Lots water damage. Our room looked into a driveway with many cars parked that if we had curtains opened we had no privacy. End result room very dark.
- Dennis (6/5): - Close to Gros Morne Theatre. Good laundry facilities. Nice staff.
- Joanne (10/5): Beautiful seaside resort with all the amenities, including a kitchen, restaurant & Pub and the beach outside your do - We had a fully self-contained cottage right by the sea - spectacular! As well the main hotel was next door and provided a restaurant, pub and an outdoor hot tub. Liked it all.
- Yuen (8/5): - Property was lovely…back door opened to a lovely view of beach. Dining options were limited to the restaurant and pub on the property….decent but not amazing.
- Tina (9/5): - The unit we were in was very private and quiet. Excellent ocean bay view. Staff nice. Unit Parking spot right out front. The restaurant food was the greatest and expensive. I got some sick on one dish.
- August (8/5): -
- Vance (9/5): -
- Ria (10/5): It was good. - Close to the ocean
- Bernard (10/5): - The cabin itself was nice with view on the water and a little deck area outside to sit. Restaurant staff were very nice, the food was ok. The pizza at the pub was great. The main downside is that there is not much around the motel itself if you just want to go for a walk
- Sarah (9/5): - Location was perfect - right across from the dinner theatre and the Neddy Norris music night.
- Leslie (10/5): -
- Carl (10/5): - Great spot. The staff make it great. Love staying there
- N (8/5): -
- Kevin (10/5): -
- Ted (7/5): Dated but enjoyable location. - Great location, very quiet, friendly staff, great view The water was gray in my guest house even after running it for a while. It did not look potable. It’s 2025, get some fitted sheets, no one enjoys sleeping on a bare mattress. The floor was still wet and room was very humid when we arrived.
- Helen (7/5): Comfortable and relaxing - The view was amazing. Needs upgrading.
- Andrea (5/5): It was ok. Water was not good to look at or taste - Food was very good
- susanz (9/5): A Great place to stay with multiple activities available. - Our room had a deck facing the ocean, and we spent time sitting outside just enjoying the view. We also found a musical event being held at the local theatre just across the road from our accommodation - what a treat The room was clean and comfortable.
- Wayne (10/5): - The solitude. It was very peaceful and the view of the water was very nice. The inside of the cabins were very rustic looking and very appealing.
- William (9/5): -
- Karen (8/5): -
- doug (6/5): -
- Maria (6/5): Room was nice and staff were lovely, food was mediocre. - The location was very nice and rooms and common space were very clean and tidy. The restaurant was a major disappointment. Had ordered the steamed mussels and these should never had been on the menu. They were shriveled up and very tiny, within large shells not fit to be served and I know my seafood as a fisheries biologist. You should know the state of your seafood prior to setting on a plate. Husband had the fisherman's platter which consisted of a few breaded items which clearly came out of a package. There is nothing wrong with pre-made frozen items - but get the good stuff. Use frozen vegetables instead of the canned that was on the plate.
- Scott (8/5): - Very cozy Small beds
- Scott (9/5): - Very cozy Small beds
- Katharine (8/5): Spent one night there and it served my purpose well. - Staff very helpful. Clean. Cabin was quiet. Nothing really
- Raveendra (8/5): -
- Spence (9/5): -
- Donna (8/5): - Nice small room with 2 double beds. Would have more room with one queen as it was tight. The restaurant was convenient but pricey for quality of food. Loved having an ocean front view. Super busy location but staff handled it well.
- Pritchard (8/5): - View of the ocean
- Josh (8/5): -
- Colin (8/5): Great place to stay on your way up the Northern Penninsula - Overall an excellent property! We had two rooms and no complaints. The restaurant was great, we ate a supper and breakfast there. My kids had no issue picking meals they liked. It's located directly across the road from the Gros Morne Theatre Festival location, which was convenient as we had tickets to an evening show. We would stay here again. The tap water isn't drinkable, which is fine, it's common in the area, but we found it a little inconvenient to have to get drunking water from the kitchen. A small inconvenience, but just something I wanted to mention for others. Another property we stayed at in the area had a self serve water area, which we found a little more convenient.
- Salvador (10/5): - .
- Suzette (8/5): - Convenient entry to room, parked right outside room door. Clean room, restaurant attached and theatre across the street. Recommend for a one night stay
- Sandra Friesen (8/5): The second floor room was a generous size and very comfortable. -
- Assim (9/5): - Hospitality was excellent and the karaoke brilliant Only thing I would mention is I prefer shower gel to a soap bar
- Wenny Hu (8/5): - The restaurant is good and tasty. The staff and management are friendly and care for all customers. The room is a little old, but clean. The room with a sea view has a good view. There was a little smell in the room when we entered the room.
- David (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Coreen Pryor (10/5): Excellent - Great cabin with everything one would need. Clean comfortable. Close to restaurant and pub.
- Kaila (9/5): -
- Marcia (10/5): Beautiful property - I really liked this property. It has everything you need and then so. Restaurant open from 7 to 9, lounge, sauna, hot tub and pool.
- Luc (9/5): - L’emplacement, le gofe a notre porte de chambre. Le karaoke du vendredi soir, la gentillesse du personnel. La nourriture est très très moyenne, dommage !
- Christine (10/5): - It was really nice sitting in the hot tub and pool area looking out over the bay.
- Debbie (10/5): -
- Batstone (9/5): Very relaxing - Staff were awesome and restaurant food was excellent. Nothing
- Coreen Pryor (9/5): -
- Sarah (7/5): -
- Jean Christian (10/5): - Great little place to stay, right up on the ocean. Darryl, the owner, was there to ensure all guest lived a great experience at his hotel. Highly recommend this establishment
- Josh (6/5): - Location is great & we had fun at karaoke! Everything is very tight & small. Duvet on the bed was dirty (reddish brown stains). Staff we friendly at first and then became very frazzled during check in. It was chaotic as they told me that couldn't take my debit card and had me use the ATM to take out cash - which is fine if your debit machine is broken but then to pay for my room I was allowed to pay with card.
