The Neighborhood:
On the Rocks is very centrally located in Twillingate. You can walk to many of the local attractions, shops and restaurants. From the back door you can walk to an area the locals refer to as Smith's lookout (cross on hill) overlooking the ocean and all of Twillingate or down to beautiful Snellings Cove where you can explore the beach and endless fields of berries.

Getting Around:
On the Rocks is up a fairly steep hill. If you do plan on walking, this is something to keep in mind.

Other Things to Note:

A quick but wonderful stay

We really enjoyed staying in this home while visiting Twillingate. It offered a wonderful view of the town and harbour. it was very well kept and comfortable. Since my wife and I were travelling with two friends they each had their own bedroom and there were two bathrooms, which made morning preparation before our boat excursion possible.

Amazing Spot!

From the initial booking phase through to check out, our experience at On the Rocks Overlooking the Sea was seamless. Our host was so easy to communicate with, answered all our questions, and was so helpful. The house is exactly as advertised … the views were spectacular! The house was clean, well appointed, and offered all the comforts of home. Walkable distance to restaurants, tours, and shops. We would stay there again!

Very clean, host is great & helpful. Close to everything you can walk if you like. But, the hill to the house is a little challenging—we did it at least 4 times a day! Good exercise. Very lovey place. Bob & Sue from ON
