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!
Newfoundland is such a great place to grow up. Especially since the young ones don’t seem to gripe about the cold as much as all of us ‘olds’ seem to! As you can see, the neighbourhood children have been enjoying themselves this winter with some ‘shinny on the ice.’ It’s just a little bit cooler, pun intended, than street hockey!
I never get sick of this view, or of sharing it – on the blog, and with the guests at our cottages. It totally revives and replenishes the soul, every time. Happy Sunday!
More proof of the glorious beauty here on the Baccalieu Trail. Here’s Salmon Cove, about a half an hour from our cottages. It’s a gorgeous spot for a day trip, winter or summer. We enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon here last week. There’s nothing quite like the Newfoundland shoreline!
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. 
This is the first time we’ve seen the bay frozen over since coming to the Wonderful World of Whiteway. It’s certainly cold, but it makes for a great photo op, too! Thankfully, we’ve got lots of ways to keep warm. Happy Sunday!
A few days ago we blogged about the icy waves here, we’ve had some nasty weather, and seems like the entire continent is having a wacky winter. Certainly we’ll all be happy when Spring rolls around. But here’s a snowy shot of Shag Rock to show why we love the Wonderful World of Whiteway, through rain, shine, sleet and snow! Please remember that there’s still a month left of our popular Stay In and Stay Warm package (great if you need a romantic respite from this winter!), and our Valentine’s Special at The Doctor’s House (which comes with a gourmet 3-course dinner, plus some more add-ons), is still available this weekend. Happy Friday, everyone!
If you live in Newfoundland, then you know that we’ve been having some wild weather lately. I’ve never seen anything like the icy waves you see above. And we’ve been pounded by them and the wind for what seems like ages now. Definitely makes you want to Stay In and Stay Warm!
But thankfully, as you can see below – the storms have passed, the winds have tamed, and we’re back to our beautiful, clear days in the Wonderful World of Whiteway!
Back to regular blogging, after several days showcasing all the fun we had at Eat the Hill. Here’s our back deck, showing that a little snow accumulation can be a beautiful thing! A little (or, a lot) of snow turns the Wonderful World of Whiteway into a Winter Wonderland. And if that’s not enough alliteration for your Thursday morning, I don’t know what is!
Of course, I never liked winter until I moved to the ocean’s edge. We’re truly blessed to have a beautiful, ocean-front home that lets us appreciate every aspect of Newfoundland’s weather! (And remember, it’s easier than ever to have a fun snow-day around the bay, with our Stay In and Stay Warm winter packages).
Quite the winter we’ve been having. Definitely the kind that makes you want to cuddle up (and remember, if you buy our Stay in and Stay Warm package, which has lots of perks to keep you cozy, and you have to cancel because of a winter storm, you can reschedule without penalty on or before April 30, 2014). I thought I’d share this lovely picture that Joe sent me awhile ago, to remind us that there’s a rainbow after every storm. Thanks, Joe!
