Whale House Guest House

We choose the whale house inn as a getaway as a new mom and dad. We had the humpback room. Which to our surprise there was no sitting area other than the bed and no tv. We find that quite odd as that’s pretty standard in all rooms. The room was quite tiny for the price. Another issue was that never ever have I stayed somewhere and you could hear your neighbours late at night. Every move they took. A major issue is that the hot tub definitely isn’t being kept clean. When we got in the tub we noticed that the water felt slimy. Which me think maybe that’s the chemicals they use. We continued in it for 10 mins and got out. Then.. i developed a rash that is known as hot tub folliculitis. Which left pimple like bumbs over my torso. I did bring this to the whale house inn’s attention they offered a free stay. I did refuse because of the cleanliness. I did ask for some type of refund not necessarily 100% but then they ignored my email.

We had a nice time. The bed was comfortable, and suite was very clean. Host is responsive and gives thorough instructions for how to find the place, manage check-in, and hot tub. A private hot tub to sit under the stars, even when it’s cold out, is awesome.

Honestly, this was one of the most magical experiences of my life. My husband and I stayed in the blue whale suite and it was nothing less than pure bliss. This quiet, beautiful and whimsical place gave us the opportunity to enjoy the ocean and each other to the fullest. The owner Amanda has such a creative and artistic passion that’s makes this place even better. Will definitely be going back 🤍

Very beautiful spot with the most comfortable bed. Our evening was spent barbecuing and in the hot tub which created the perfect a**osphere and was exactly what we were looking for. Waking up to the most beautiful sunset was unexpected but once you realize the bed is facing east, it really shows how much thought and care was put into the layout and design.

My wife and I had an early fall one night stay at this beautiful facility. The place was as advertised and the service was great. It's a great place to enjoy the fall weather on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland and it's right next to many amenities such as the East Coast Trail and great food options including being a short walk from a fantastic fine dining restaurant the Fork. Service was flexible and helpful with the few requests we made. Overall, a very nice experience in a great location.

The space is beautifully designed, blue whale room has ample space and two decks. We ate at the Fork, gourmet food just 150 metre walk away. Hot tub in the sun before dinner and after, under the stars. East coast trail walk after breakfast. A perfect get away! Half an hour from town.

What a wonderful place to stay. We stayed at the Right Whale suite which is basically one room with everything you need. We could cook a meal inside or use the BBQ provided outside. The bed was so comfortable. The grounds have a tiny hobby farm with ducks roaming around, wild birds and beautiful landscaping. Follow the trail from your door right to the east cost trail where the views are amazing. Pick berries as you go for a snack. We will definitely return but maybe in the early summer for some whale watching.

Location, location, location sums up this venue. We stayed in the eco-friendly right whale suite. While small in size it had all the amenities needed for our 3 night stay. You are literally minutes away from the East Coast Trail from the suite as well as The Fork Restaurant which is a must do. Convenience store with NLC express also a short distance away on the main highway. All in all a great stay.
