A quiet coastal retreat in Grates Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Accommodations and Bathhouses on the tip of the Avalon Peninsula

We offer accommodations and bathhouses on the tip of the Avalon Peninsula. Our restorative retreat experience is rooted in seaweed wellness, solitude, and the rugged landscape of Grates Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. Designed for independent travellers and small groups seeking quiet, privacy, and reconnection.

Sea Fog | Silence | Warm Water

Grates Cove Co. is a quiet coastal retreat centered around rest, reflection, and seaweed wellness.

Perched at the northern edge of Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula, our experience is designed for people seeking space to slow down –  to soak in warm seaweed baths overlooking the Atlantic Ocean (available when temperatures are over 2C), walk coastal trails through the National Historic Site of Grates Cove, read by the window during foggy afternoons, and disconnect from urgency and noise.

Rather than a traditional tourism experience, Grates Cove Co. offers a more private and self-guided stay.

Guests move through the experience independently with self check-in and self check-out, allowing time and space to settle in at their own pace.

From East to East, and Back East Again

Grates Cove Co. was founded by Terrence and Courtney Howell. After meeting while teaching in South Korea, they explored and ate their way across the country before a sojourn in Courtney's home state of Louisiana. The two travelled back to Terrence's ancestral home of Grates Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, and once again, fell in love. Here, in this tiny land between the barrens and the sea, they found what they were looking for.

Inspiration. Perspective. Freedon.

 

And a place they could finally call home.
