🔑 Guest Access

Self check-in with smart locks makes arrival easy. Guests have full private access to the home during their stay.
Parking is free on-street parking directly in front of the home. As you drive up, the shoulder on the left side of the road widens out into a small parking area. Please note that this is public on-street parking, so a spot directly in front of the home is not guaranteed, though it is rarely an issue.

📍 Location

Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove is a picturesque town of roughly 970 people on the eastern shore of the Avalon Peninsula, nestled deep in the heart of Motion Bay and about 15 minutes south of St. John`s. The settlement traces back to the 1600s and is the site of the first hydroelectric generating station in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Petty Harbour Generating Station. Today it is one of the province`s most photographed communities and a growing tourist destination, with fishing stages, colourful boats, and steep green hills wrapped around a narrow harbour.

Everything worth walking to is close by:

✔️ Chafe`s Landing - home to some of the best fish and chips in Newfoundland
✔️ Petty Harbour Public House - classic Newfoundland pub fare including cod cakes, fish and chips, and pub burgers
✔️ Tinkers - ice cream, milkshakes, sundaes, and coffee
✔️ Harbour walks, fishing stages, and coastal views throughout the town
✔️ Downtown St. John`s, Signal Hill, and Cape Spear all within a short drive

You get a quiet, authentic outport town at the end of the day and the full St. John`s experience whenever you want it.

Please Note:

Accessibility: Please note that there is a large staircase leading up to the home. Once inside, the entire home is on a single level with no interior stairs.

To help ensure a smooth and worry-free stay, a fully refundable damage-deposit hold of $250 may be placed on your card shortly after arrival. This is only a pre-authorization (not a charge), and it’s automatically released within 5 business days of checkout, as long as everything is left in good shape, which is almost always the case. In the rare situation where something is damaged, only the actual cost of the damage would be deducted from the hold, and nothing more.

For cancellations, please be aware that once a cancellation request has been made, a 4% processing fee incurred during the booking of your stay will be deducted from the refund issued.

Thank you so much for your understanding. These small steps simply help us keep the space well-maintained and running smoothly for all guests.
