Where to Stay : You can rent rooms or cottages on the island. Click here for a list for description of rooms in the Battle Harbour Inn or Merchant’s Building, and you can find out more about the five cottages to rent by clicking here.

Getting There : A ferry leaves Mary’s Harbour at 11am each morning during the season, and departs Battle Harbour at 9am. Most guests are coming from Newfoundland, taking the ferry to Blanc Sablon. It’s a 3-hour drive from Blanc-Sablon to Mary’s Harbour on the Trans-Labrador Highway (tick off another item on the Bucket List!) Click here for more information about getting to Battle Harbour.

Note from Robin : Most guests stay for one night, although if you can, I strongly recommend staying for two. This is the kind of place where you need to breathe, walk around discovering the nooks and crannies. You can taste the history, but also the isolation. There’s now a spa on the island, the meals are lovely, and the accommodation fantastic (read the history of the rooms before you book!) The whales, by the way, don’t always come out, we got really lucky in the video above. But the bakeapples are plentiful and delicious!
