Cure for a busy world

The property is spectacular with open concept and breathtaking views of a tiny fishing village. The serenity is palpable and you know it is special when lifelong residence drop by to welcome you. Dawne is a wonderful hostess and maintains the rustic allure. Well done, Dawne!

This place is a treasure

We stay here at least once a year, usually over the holidays, and it is an absolute treasure of a place. Dawne, the owner, keeps making thoughtful upgrades while keeping the soul of this wonderful spot. Just the best place to cook a good meal and curl up with a book.

Cozy rustic cottage

We loved sitting back and relaxing while watching fishing boats in the harbour. The kitchen was well stocked and very convenient. We had lots of room. We had the village mascot Chisholm visit us everyday looking for some social time. He even came to say goodbye the day we left. We spent a few days touring the area such as Trinity and Bonavista. We enjoyed our stay.

Charming, Cozy and welcoming

The pictures are great and accurate but they don't do this home justice. The house itself is warm and inviting and Dawne couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming with some great ideas for day trips, including Two Whales Cafe, Port Rexton Brewery, Skerwink Trail, Eco Tours Whale Watching. Kitchen is very large and a treat to work in. George King

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.

Wonderful place and wonderful hosts.

Dawne's place is absolutely charming: from the bookshelves filled with incredible novels to the brook running under the house (not to mention the lettuce we ate from her garden!). We had an incredible time there. Our only regret is that our stay wasn't long enough (and we didn't finish watching Random Passage)

Our favourite spot on the trip. So beautiful. Wish we had stayed longer. The view was amazing of the fishing village and cove. Lovely gardens with resident rabbit and crow. The house was fantastic and so unique.

Quaint and charming retreat

We just loved this cottage! It suited us perfectly as we began our 3 weeks exploring Newfoundland. So relaxing to look out onto the bay and watch the crabbers working. So quiet and peaceful. There was even a bunny in the yard everyday! Dawne was a lovely host and began our atay with a tour.

Perfection

We all loved our stay, everything was perfect from gourmet kitchen, comfortable beds, and superior bedding, so much for extras, soaps, lovely bathrooms, the view being soothing, outer gardens beautiful. Enjoyed our fresh lobster that a fisherman sold us on our walk to the dock. A lovely VRBO that one would love to return to. Thank you Dawne for the stay.

Peace

We really enjoyed the peace and tranquility we found at Old Bonaventure House. The booking process was simple and Dawne sent us lots of information about the area before we arrived. The house was very clean and spacious, with everything supplied, especially in the kitchen,to make our stay very comfortable. The views and garden were just beautiful. Thank you Dawne- we loved the whole experience!

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.

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.
