About this property

Tickle Cove Boat House

This memorable place is anything but ordinary.
Located on the beach, next to Champneys West aquarium, you can see locals leaving early in the morning to go fishing, while hearing the loons call at night while sitting on the water front deck.

Cross tickle boathouse is located on the beach right next to champneys west aquarium and the fox island trail.

The boathouse is eco friendly with a composting toilet.

Also pet friendly but to VERY SMALL breeds of dogs as you have to carry them up a ladder and the place is tiny, there is also a ($30 pet fee)

There is no WiFi or TV at the boathouse it’s simply ment to come a relax and enjoy the nature and surroundings that beautiful Champneys West has to offer.

I really enjoyed the place my husband on the other hand did not. His biggest complaint was no internet.

The Tickle Cove Boathouse was a unique stop-over during our visit to Newfoundland. The property is well appointed with the basics and a few luxuries. Communication with Nicole (host) is great and they provide a good deal of information about the property and the area. The property is kept very clean and the amenities are appreciatedNote that this boathouse is COZY. There is hot water which is an on-demand system so you have to be patient. Definitely read through the instructions regarding the composting toilet. It is easier to understand once you are at the property and can view the device in person. The bed is quite comfy although, getting to the loft requires some self-confidence in ladder usage (it is safe, sturdy, and steep)! The view from the deck in the morning is awesome. This slightly out of the way property is a memory maker!
