Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Large, well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the musical instruments, games room, books and garden.

Great location for exploring the north end of the Avalon peninsula.

We had the most wonderful time of our lives and everyone still talks about how great it was. My Brother and his family(10 in all)from England joined my Husband and I for 2 super days at the Church. We had lots of room and places for the children to play and the rest to relax. We went to the beach, had a BBQ and Bonfire at night it was just brilliant. I will recommend it to anyone who is planning a family reunion in the future. Thanks Lisa

Beautiful and charming.

We really enjoyed our stay. When looking for a cabin for our large group, another business told us we needed The Church at Ochre Pit Cove, and we were glad they did. It was spacious and had something for everyone. The kids (& adults) had fun on the PS2, ping pong table, and air hockey. The littlest ones had space to play (though I'd try and get a baby gate next time), and loved finding the hidden toy room upstairs. There were books everywhere :)

We would definitely return and reccomend, the owners were great to deal with as well.

My group and I were delighted with the Church at Ochre Pit Cove for a facility to hold a yoga and creativity retreat. It was intimate, quiet, close to nature, and had a peaceful, warm energy as soon as you stepped in the doors. Lisa provided healthy and delicious meals and took care of every detail with ease - including dietary variations. The space was perfect for yoga and meditation, and the layout of the facility allowed for plenty of group and solo time. The space was inspirational for a retreat... and I'm returning with my family because it is also a perfect place to have a relaxing family vacation. Thank-you, Lisa, for offering this space. <3

Great weekend with friends

Fantastic location and facility. The owners' attention to detail and thoughtfulness are evident throughout the property. Stayed for a weekend in late October with friends and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ideal location for a group trip to the bay (group trip to the bay).

We heard about the Church from a group of friends that had stayed there earlier this year. By all accounts, it was a fantastic spot. We just got back from our first weekend at the Church, and it exceeded expectations. The scenery on the drive to and from St. John's is breathtaking, the beach is only a short drive away, and there are more than enough games and activities at the Church to keep people of all ages entertained for days on end..! We absolutely loved the unfinished games basement, but equally pleasing were the modern and extremely clean bathrooms and bedrooms. The kitchen and living area were also exactly what we were hoping for. Bottom line, you can't go wrong with the Church at Ochre Pit Cove.
