We enjoyed Robert's place very much. Petty Harbour is unique and has to be seen. Located close to many places that need to be visited while in that region of NL. Robert was very good to us helping with advices and eve booked us on a cod fishing excursion. Can't be better.

Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage

Everything we could need was provided in this rental. Bob, our host, was very easy to communicate with, checked on us during our stay and made the effort to personally meet us. The fishing village of Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove is very picturesque although it is a bit of a distance from the city center. One would definitely need a car for this stay.

I am very happy you enjoyed your stay at CottageHill Petty Harbour. Although cabs are available back and forth to downtown St. John's , having a car at your disposal is much more convenient. It's a 15 min drive to downtown St. John's, and cabs run about $30 each way. There is a beautiful walking trail from the cottage in Petty Harbour, to St. John's, but it is still quite a hike. It takes about an hour and a half.

Perfect Newfoundland Get Away

Bob, your place was fantastic. The pictures on VRBO do not do it justice. It was well equipped beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. Bob even reached out to us to see if we needed anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Petty Harbour. It was 20 minutes to a half hour drive from all that we wanted to do. You must also check out the restaurant Chafe’s Landing. Great food and service.

I can't say enough good things about this property and the host. Bob was so kind and helpful and full of great suggestions. Took us out fishing and caught us 5 fish! (we caught two!). Packaged them up for us and I am flying with them home. The cottage was clean and well stocked (even better than a hotel). Beds were really comfortable. We went ziplining which was literally at the bottom of the hill from the cottage. Had delicious ice cream at Tinkers ice cream shop, also at the bottom of the hill. Can't wait to come back here!

The cottage was all that was shown and more. Anything that you could think of that would be needed was provided. The host, Bob, was very helpful and provided helpful tips about the cottage and the area to make the most of our visit. A high quality experience staying here. I'd highly recommend it to anyone basing themselves out of the St. John's area.

We were met at the property by Bob the host and he spent a lot of time with us showing us around and explaining what was available locally. Very helpful and much appreciated. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils you could need. Also there were a lot of basic food items so check in before you shop! The village restaurant is very good and just a few minutes walk away. The nearest supermarket is aout a 10 min drive as is the fresh sea food store. The harbour is very scenic and a great area for a stroll. We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 day stay. Many thanks Bob. Brenda and Robin, Ontario
