Goose Cove Retreat is a 4½ star-rated luxury vacation home and executive retreat. It sits in a secluded, fully landscaped enclave - nestled behind firs and proudly surveying Trinity Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador.

Separated into three wings, with living spaces in each section, it is creatively designed to accommodate any group, from a family to a small corporate retreat team.
When staying at Goose Cove Retreat, you are renting the whole facility. This includes 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen, and plenty of other living, relaxing and entertainment space. Large bay windows provide a panoramic view of Trinity Bay.
