About this property

The Mayo Cottage - Ocean-view Newfoundland

Discover peace and privacy at the Mayo Cottage, a newly built open-concept retreat with stunning ocean views and no neighbours in sight. Perfectly located near the historic, and must see towns of Trinity and Bonavista. For all amenities the town of Clarenville is just 35 mins away. If you enjoy breath-taking nature be sure to visit Terra Nova National Park. Amazing hiking, paddling, whale and iceberg watching all just some of the exciting activities in the area.

CHECKING IN: Welcome! key is in the lock box to the right of the door at the driveway entrance. Open the shutter, there is a simple combination lock, dial in the CODE: 2285. Depress the small black lever and the compartment will open. Remove the key. The brass coloured key opens the main door and the nickel coloured key opens the door off the top deck. Please return the keys to the compartment when you check out.

CHECKING OUT: Turn off everything, round up all dirty towels and start a load of them in the washing machine. This really helps our cleaner that travels a distance to change over the cottage and has very limited window of time. We greatly appreciate it. Bag up all garbage in a big black bag and put it in the garbage pick-up box at the top of the second driveway. Lock up and return the keys to the lock box. Message me once you have left the cottage.

A beautiful place just to be

A well appointed home, very comfortable with killer views. Kitchen was a nice place to work. The loons made the stay very special. Such an easy drive to Bonavista and Elliston. I would highly recommend staying here.
