Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
A little birdie told us – after all this weather, we’re in for a great spring. At least it will be if you come join us at the cottages! That’s why we’re excited to roll out our Spring Specials. All April and May, stay at any of our cottages and receive a complementary snack and movie basket and bottle of house wine. Or, take advantage our nearby sister property The Doctor’s House and add some luxurious spa packages to you stay. After this winter, you deserve it!
Nothing calms me and fills me up like watching the sun set over the ocean. It’s why I’ll always be grateful The Berry and I made the move to the Wonderful World of Whiteway – we have front row seats every night for our own personal showing. On a clear night, with the sun reflecting on the sometimes still waters of the harbour – it’s pure magic.
So ok, ok, it’s true – we haven’t had the best winter. But when twilight hour strikes, there’s still some magic there! We’re busy here putting together some new Spring specials and packages. Just take a cue from the Little Engine that Could – instead of ‘I think I can, I think I can,’ keep saying ‘I think it’s Spring, I think it’s Spring!’ It’ll start to warm up before we know it!
We’d like to take a break from our usually happy blogging to say goodbye to Molly, our sweet Devon Rex who passed away yesterday morning. We never had her as a kitten, as you see above – we hope that she enjoyed her adult years with us. She we beloved by all of us, including our goldens, and by everyone who met her. She was a rare creature and she will be missed.
If you have pets, you know how they become a part of your family. Below is how we’ll remember her. 
Another beauteous sunset set over the beautiful Shag Rock, off the shores of the Wonderful World of Whiteway. Captured from our oceanfront cottages. If you want peace of mind (and believe me, no one needs it like I do!) this is the spot. Hope your Sunday is relaxing and reflective – I hope mine will be.
No matter what the weather does now, at least we can say it’s Spring! And with all the sunshine that’s bound to come our way, we’ve just announced our new Summer Special. We’re calling it the “Coastal Combo: Jewels of the Bay.” For a special price, guests will be able to combine a stay at our cottages with a stay at The Doctor’s House, and complimentary Tea for Two at The Doctor’s House as well. Find out all the details and make your reservations here.
Here’s some shots from a rare afternoon off, when The Berry and I went for a drive to Salmon Cove, goldens in tow. Less than a half hour drive from the cottages, it’s quite the spot! It has a beautiful park, sandy beaches, beautiful scenery, a great trail and the perfect spot for picnics – summer is going to be great!
The dogs loved the beach and water, met new friends and played to exhaustion. And we were refreshed, pulled back from the brink of exhaustion, and reminded again of how lucky we are to live on the beautiful Baccalieu Trail. For more pictures of this beautiful spot, please see the album on our Facebook page. 
Looks like we’re getting a bit of a reprieve from the nasty weather that started this new year. The January thaw is awesome. Almost all the snow is gone and it is going to be unseasonably mild for the next several days. And the mild weather sweetens our already sweet winter deal at the cottages (hint, we throw in wine and breakfast in bed!), and makes it extra fun to walk Murphy. Now lets see if we get Sheila’s Brush!
Between recouping and the weather and power issues, I completely forgot to do a recap of our New Year’s Eve party at The Doctor’s House. We had a great time with great guests, loved our gourmet meal, and enjoyed lots of dancing and fireworks into the night. It was our first big event we’ve hosted – we enjoyed it, learned a lot, and hope to offer more such occasions in the future. Thanks again to our staff and to the guests who came to celebrate with us. And we hope you have a truly blessed New Year.
Thanks to Clifford and Shirley George, who joined us and sent us these lovely photos. Oh, what a night!
And if you look closely, you can see some mummers in the crowd!
These pictures are like life: all the same, all different, all wonderful, and totally beautiful. Shag Rock, before, during and after a sunset – reminding us why we love the Wonderful World of Whiteway.
Thanks to guests, Shag It artist and friend Leonard Howlett for the gorgeous shots. What an eye, or should I say three?
