Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
If you ever needed proof why we call it the ‘Wonderful World of Whiteway’…. well, here’s your proof! I looked up yesterday from my computer and the sun was about to peek out over the hills. The harbinger of colour and tone gave rise to the storm in forecast. And if ever there were a blog-worthy moment, this is it!
Remember that our Whiteway cottages are open all winter long – so this view could be yours this holiday season, as well. Email us at info@oceandelightcottages.com for more info!
It’s doesn’t get any better than this. Or more purple, for that matter. This weekend has been busy – the summer season is picking up, and of course we opened the Shag It Cafe on Friday, too. But stopping to enjoy moments like this can make it all worth it. Happy Sunday.
We’ve been having some beautiful mornings here in the Wonderful World of Whiteway – one barely knows how to capture and showcase them to an outsider. But I try!
I took this photo a few days ago, at our Heart’s Delight cottages. The lichen is spectacular and everywhere there are sea urchins waiting to be taken home. Cameras can only insult the burst of colour and natures symmetry. It’s truly stunning.
Don’t forget that for the month of June, you can enjoy the nearby ocean just a little more when you stay with us, because the first two pounds of fresh local lobster are on us, for every two night booking. Just one more way to appreciate all we have here in rural Newfoundland!
So nice to be right on the ocean – after a busy day like yesterday (our first wedding of the season!), watching the waves, gentle or rolling, is balm for the tired body and soul. Remember that our Spring Special is still good for a few weeks – so maybe you’ll get to enjoy this view soon, too!
A little Saturday cat blogging, with a view! Here’s Mimi, enjoying our back deck (um, you’re looking the wrong way, Mimi!). And yes, as you can see, we mean it when we say we’re right on the ocean! If you’re new to the blog, you’ll quickly find that I blog about Shag Rock a lot – but really, how could I not?
I blog a lot about sunsets. Not enough about our beautiful sunrises here in Newfoundland. Because in early morning as the sun climbs over Whiteway Mountain and shines on Shag Rock I take my pew in front of the big window and look out the bay. Ever grateful for having found this place of places.
Sometimes, looking out over the bay, I feel like I am on some great cruise as I hear the waves and see only the ocean stretch in front of me. Although I have not left the shore it feels that I am on some great journey. And I’m happy to share this view with the 4 cabins besides me.
I was never one to be tied up in some safe harbour – it has always been the high seas for me. Where this Cruise Ship WWW will take me I know not. We’ve had our share of storms with no doubt many more to come. For mine is not to rest but to explore and find new things trying to find myself. Anchors away!
Back doorstep that is! And we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’ve had some high winds lately, tossing the ocean to and fro. The water is a beautiful deep blue, and the caps are pure white. A lovely scene! Sadly, despite the amazing weather outside, The Berry has been a little under the weather herself. We hope she recoups so we can enjoy the weekend. And we hope you have a great weekend, too!
Nice little view we get from our Whiteway cottages – we never get sick of it. Our Couple’s Fall Getaway for here has been quite popular, and it’s expiring soon. If you’d like to take advantage while you still can, please see here, and otherwise, have a great Sunday!
Thanks to our neighbour Paul Seymour for perfectly capturing that ‘aaah’ feeling you get when you overlook the water. There’s many reasons we Newfoundlanders cling to the coast. We, for one, are very happy that that is the case -we’ve been here for years, and every time we catch a glimpse of the water, we still catch our breath. What a blessing to live on this beautiful island!
Here’s a shot from Ocean Delight. We’ve spent the last several months at The Doctor’s House, which we’ve loved. But this view is amazing, too! We hope everyone is having a great, relaxing Sunday- and don’t forget to check out our Couple’s Fall Package, perfect for ‘relax and say ahh’ moments all Autumn long!
