East Coast Newfoundland Cottage & Cabins
2. East Coast Newfoundland Cottage & Cabins
45km from Signal Hill National Historic Site · 1 site
We sit on a rock, as does all of Newfoundland, overlooking a creek fed by Bauline Pond, which flows into the rocky beach next to our property. We are sheltered by a rocky hillside, under which we walk to the beach just 30 feet away.
We have views of Bauline Harbour, an active working harbour with two commercial fishing boats, one island/whale tour boat, and many local fishing boats when the fishery is open.
We are at the cultural center of Bauline, a hamlet of fifteen houses, a wharf, a pond, and access to the East Coast Trail. Just beyond Bauline Pond, there is an excellent restaurant, FORAGER, and a hotel, Cliff’s Edge Retreat.
We are at the heart of the Irish Loop, or the Southern Shore, and very conveniently located for travel:
North to St. John’s (50 minutes), south to Trepassey (1:15), west to Dildo (1:15), and east to Ireland (about 5 hours).

With kids
The site was small and quiet, the kids had a lot of fun running around. They enjoyed the oversized plastic dart board that was set up behind one of the RVs.

Overview
About
As St. John’s most popular landmark, Signal Hill recalls the town’s historic past and communications triumph, as well as offering coastal hikes and colourful performances against sweeping views overlooking the Atlantic. Signal Hill was the site of St. John’s harbour defences from the 17th century to the Second World War and where Guglielmo Marconi received the world’s first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.
When to go
The best time to visit Signal Hill National Historic Site is from June 1 to October 6, when the visitor centre and its full suite of programs are operational. The grounds, however, welcome visitors year-round, offering different seasonal perspectives of St. John's most famous landmark.

- Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly atop Signal Hill.
