Luxury Coastal Stays at Goose Cove
Designed for Time Well Spent
Simple luxury. Inspired architecture.
Two unforgettable ways to stay.
At Lodging at Goose Cove Retreat, luxury and landscape go hand in hand.

Thoughtful architecture, private surroundings, and understated luxury come together in a setting made for slow mornings, memorable adventures, and time well spent.
Nestled in a private, fully landscaped enclave, Goose Cove is made for unforgettable escapes—whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family gathering, or a few unrushed days by the sea. On-site amenities, inspired design, and the quiet ease of the property invite you to slow down and settle in.

Patios cascade toward the sea, cedar chairs gather around a Newfoundland slate fire pit, a grass badminton court invites easy afternoons outdoors, and a floating wharf offers direct access to Trinity Bay.
The Goose Cove Experience
Goose Cove is your home base for adventure — and your quiet place to return to at day’s end. In Trinity Bay, days can be filled with outdoor pursuits, cultural experiences, fine dining, and nights that end under a blanket of stars.
What our guest are saying
Posted on Timothy Ritchie18 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quite simply, Goose Cove Retreat exceeded my (very high) expectations if every way. I was expecting the typical self check-in but June met us and gave us a full tour of the property. She showed us how to use the appliances, the fireplace, the whole-home stereo system, etc. to make sure we felt at home and relaxed. It is obvious that June and Paul have walked through every room and space trying to anticipate what their guests would want or appreciate and then making sure those needs and wants are provided. From the basket of every size of flip flops for the short walk to the magical hot tub in the trees, or the towel / robe hooks on the tree by the hot tub stairs, or the fresh tulips throughout the home, no detail was too small to be considered. Having stayed in many high-end vacation rentals, there are always some areas where the hosts have (understandably) cut a few corners to save some money. In building and furnishing this extraordinary property, it seems like June and Paul went the other way and went way over the top in their selections. For example, installing a Thermador, built-in, fully automated espresso machine (about $8,000!!) seems almost crazy but really does make coffee time seem extra special. Then, having gone totally over the top in that area (complete with high quality beans in the hopper) they also provide a Le Creuset kettle and french press in case that's how you roll. The stereo system is also fantastic, as are the appliances, and the pool table, and the sauna, and the 3 different grills, and, and ... I could go on about the thoughtful details but I will end by saying this place in incredible. I don't think you will ever find a more perfect vacation rental for your family or group.Posted on mira nabulsi21 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best escape! We loved it here! So many board games, breathtaking views and a kitchen I will forever dream of. The house is spacious and stunning. I can honestly say every corner of this place was thought out and we appreciated it all! Also the sound system is marvellous!Posted on Ellen Davis8 January 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful accommodation and natural environment. An experience like no other. A truly unique way to experience the best of Trinity and Newfoundland and Labrador!Posted on Michele Tiller20 December 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. November 30- December 3, 2023 The best word to describe this sanctuary, is Magical. My family and friends have booked this resort a few times now and it has created the most precious, memorable experiences. The luxury , peacefulness, and beauty of this property is only to be experienced and hard to describe. The most comfortable bedrooms and living spaces ( indoor fireplace that is amazing) to a chefs dream kitchen to cook and socialize in are just a couple of our favorite things about the accommodations. The owners make sure your welcomed and comfortable and are at your beckon call . We were surprised and so enjoyed that the home was all decorated for Christmas for this trip, what a special touch. My husband and I were able to easily work from there in the beautiful office that overlooks the ocean. This resort is one of our favorite place on earth and we will be back again for more MAGIC!!
