Great home and location!

Saffron House is the perfect home away from home. Great location with wonderful views of the water. Tastefully decorated, very clean and super comfortable. Loved the beds and pillows! Everything you could want is there. The fire pit and chairs on the beach across the road completed it all. Thanks for a great 5 days. Looking forward to coming back.

Twillingate house

We loved the house and its proximity to the water. It’s too bad that we couldn’t get there earlier to enjoy the fire pit by the water. Recommendations for hikes and places to eat in the area were great as well. East communications!

Your home is beautiful. So neat, quiet, and peaceful. Location is spot on. We all had a great time. The fog parted and let us take some wonderful pictures. When we return we hope we can stat here again. No icebergs was a bummer.

Lovely Mid 20th Century Home with Period Kitchen

I really appreciated how well the house had been updated to be faithful to the time in which it was built. I was especially impressed with the working Mid 20th Century pushbutton stove, which I have only heard of but have never used before. Twillingate was our favorite location on our trip to Newfoundland, and the Twillingate/NWI Dinner Theatre was the highlight. It is definitely worth the money.

Nice place!

This property had a nice view out the front to other parts of town, and was on a road less traveled so it was quiet. The house itself was very comfortable - funky retro kitchen! It was well-equipped with creature comforts and very clean. There were quiet a few toys and other items that would occupy children, if you have that need. Very close to Twillingate proper (although nothing is too far away!) and boat tours, restaurants, cafes, etc. Cute, comfortable house - we had a very nice stay and would definitly come back.

Twillingate Beach House

Beautifully decorated and appointed property. Everything we needed was provided and was top line quality. Beds are super comfortable and views are stunning. The house is right on the beach with chairs and a fire pit over looking the bay. Windows of all rooms overlook the water. Loved the location and loved our visit. There is a lovely walk up into the hills right from the door that is not too technical and let’s you sit and watch the bay. Blueberries were everywhere in the area. And a lovely jar of partridge berry jam was gifted by the host!
