Travel 4km into nearby Twillingate and you can take a whale watching tour; go ocean kayaking; or enjoy the rich Newfoundland culture with some locally brewed award-winning beer, the Twillingate Dinner Theatre, or visit a Shed Party or Kitchen Party where you can sample local musical and comedic talents. Fresh blueberries can be found just about everywhere in late summer along any of the fifteen hiking trails, with a wide variety of terrain suitable for relaxed or athletic hikers.
Getting Around:
Driving is the most typical way that visitors explore Twillingate Island. That said, it is a walker/hikers dream. Whether you prefer the road or the trails, there is so much to explore.
Other Things to Note:
This property has been operated as a successful 5-star vacation rental for years. Ownership recently changed and the new owners have plans to maintain this excellence but also plan to add their own personal touch with some upgrades. Many of these will be in place for the 2023 season. Photos will be updated to reflect the upgrades in May 2023.
The new owners of Lands End trace their roots in Twillingate back to the early 1800s with ship's captains and shop owners, Anglican priest's and court judges. They have always loved Twillingate, are captivated by its tranquil beauty, and are excited to share this with their guests.
