Yes, you did read the heading correctly! If you’re looking for a unique staycation idea in Western Newfoundland, this colourful AirBnB is the perfect choice.
Located in Gillams, just 30 minutes from Corner Brook or 90 minutes from Gros Morne National Park, this quirky accommodation will be one you’ll talk about for ages to come. A refurbished fishing vessel now sits in a private garden setting overlooking the beautiful Bay of Islands.
“On Shore Leave” is ideally situated for hiking, bird watching, kayaking and boating. Watch ospreys from your deck or visit the Arctic Tern colony nearby. Finish your evening with a fire in the outdoor chiminea.
