Description
We have now filled all of our positions for the 2024 season.
Hello from the rock! We are a small hostel operating in the heart of Gros Morne National Park. We're brand new, having just finished renovations this year and we're full of energy and enthusiasm. We mainly cater to the active/outdoorsy crowd, but as we are the only hostel in the area, we do get all sorts. We are pet friendly and have hundreds of guests passing through our doors every summer. We also operate a tour company where we run hiking trips into Western Brook Pond (google it). Workawayers with us have a chance to get up the valley. We also have a small cat that lives on site.
We are not active on this website very much, and the best way to get ahold of us is to send us an email or phone call directly!
