Perched just above the tiny outport fishing village of Brigus South, Anchor Rock Lookout is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy life. Sit on the wrap-around deck or the upstairs balcony and watch the tide go in and out in Brigus Cove, the birds flying near Brigus Head, or perhaps spot a whale or iceberg floating by out in the ocean. Just a few steps away are blueberries for the picking in season.
Brand new and opening in June 2010, Anchor Rock Lookout is furnished with all the modern conveniences of life, but also features a touch of yesteryear with rich hardwood floors and antiques throughout. The 3 main bedroom suites each feature a queen bed and an attached bathroom. The master bath has a clawfoot tub,a large shower,and ocean views, while the 2 upstairs bathrooms feature huge showers and one has a waterfall view. Fluffy sheepskin rugs from New Zealand and flat screen TVs with DVD players adorn each bedroom suite. Also upstairs are 2 smaller rooms with a twin bed in each, suitable for children or single adults. In between the upstairs bedroom suites you will find a library with a balcony overlooking the ocean and a sitting room with a sunset view, so that you can get almost continuous sun during the day. Two bedrooms look out over a nearby waterfall.
You will love the open plan feeling downstairs, with large picture windows everywhere, a Great Room with a large flat screen satellite HD television, DVD player, stereo system with I-Pod dock, and a selection of DVDs and CDS for your use. The Great Room is open to the kitchen and dining room and provides for easy entertaining. The kitchen is has a pantry which is fully stocked with general cooking provisions as well as fixings for your first breakfast. A clothes washer and dryer are located in the mudroom, and laundry soap and other necessities are provided.
Anchor Rock Lookout is only 45 minutes drive south of the capital, St. John's, on the Irish Loop of Newfoundland. The house is just a short walk to the East Coast Trail and you can hike to La Manche Provincial Park to the north or Admiral's Cove and Cape Broyle to the south. Cape Broyle also features world class sea kayaking. The historic town of Ferryland is only a short drive away, where you will find the Avalon Colony archaeological dig, the world famous Lighthouse Picnics, and a dinner theatre.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home and province. One of our party found the source of his family roots, two became engaged out on the island here in Brigus South, and the kids enjoyed a week full of family time (hikes, board games and the ocean). We can't say enough about Randy and Darlene, yes, they are gracious hosts and are a wealth of information, but they are also great people. If you could choose your neighbors, they would be at the top of your list. Thank you.

We brought our two children to visit the land of their ancsestors for many generations. This beautiful house with its fabulous views of the coastal scenery was the perfect base for our various sightseeing excursions. We were treated to typical Newfie hospitality in addition to touring some of the historical sites around the island. We were especially impressed with the monument at the location of the signing of the Atlantic Treaty in August of 1941. The site was in a remote location along a winding road, but had been carefully tended to commemorate that historic event. And finally, we were won over by the assistance of Darlene and Randy who patiently answered all our questions about the house and the area, we had a lovely dinner party in their home. Thank you!

Spent a beautiful few dats here in this beautiful house. Time to relax and reunite with sisters from "away" as our mother would say. Can't top the scenery anywhere. So enjoyed waking up to see whales from the window and for the first time catching caplin in our hands. Looking forward to next year, picking blueberries like we did as kids.

What a perfect spot! We loved everything about Anchor Rock Lookout. You've thought of everything and the neighbors (property managers) Darlene and Randy really make it a very special place. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. The views are incredible. It was great just sitting on the decks looking out and having breakfast with Lady (the neighbor's dog)! We had a wonderful time, hiking many points along the East Coast Trail, watching for whales, doing the picnic at the Lighthouse, taking the puffin tour at Witless Bay, visitng Cape Spear and Signal Hill. But most of all, we loved coming back to Brigus South. This is our first trip to Newfoundland. We hope to come back again and again.
