Come summer, Newfoundland’s alive—wharves hum with boats, whales splash offshore, and the air’s just right at 25°C. Forget mainland heat waves; this island’s where you kick back and soak it in. At Whale House Guest House, 30 minutes from St. John’s, we’ve got the perfect setup—private suites with hot tubs, right by the ocean’s edge.

Humpbacks are practically neighbors here—spouting loud enough to hear from your deck. Head down the Irish Loop, and you’ll tally hundreds from your car window. Want closer? The Best Newfoundland Whale Watching Boat Tours launch nearby, or stroll the East Coast Trail to Tinkers Point—whales crash the party either way. Grab takeout from Fork and hit Cribbies Meadow—it’s picnic-with-a-show territory.

Wharves near us are buzzing—grab a handline and jig your own cod, a local rite since forever or jump on one of the Cod Jigging tours in the area. The recreational groundfish fishery, including cod, typically openes in late June or early July and runs for approximately 39 days

Newfoundland Moose wander the woods, puffins perch on cliffs, and yeah, a sea otter once crashed our garden. Hike the East Coast Trail and trade treadmill time for ocean air.

No cramped hotels here—our suites come with keyless entry, private decks, and hot tubs staring down whale feeding grounds. Check out the Blue Whale or Humpback Whale—guests rave about the views. You’re a hop from beaches, wine shops, and bites at Captain’s Table. It’s where summer feels right.

Driving up? Snag a spot on the Marine Atlantic Ferry—book at marineatlantic.ca—it’s Port aux Basques or Argentia, and they fill up fast. Flying? Lock in a car at St. John’s Airport—their guide has the details.

Got a WHGH stay in mind—or a favorite Newfoundland memory? Spill it in the comments—whales, cod, or just chilling, we’re here for it.
