The front and side patios offer sweeping ocean views, overlooking the harbour and working fish plant—where you can watch boats come and go throughout the day. The private back deck is perfect for outdoor dining and summer BBQs, while Adirondack chairs invite you to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and settle into the rhythm of the coast.

Location & Local Experience

If this is your first visit to Port de Grave—welcome. This is a place people return to, year after year.

Anchor House is within walking distance of the harbour, making it easy to explore on foot. Watch fishing boats come and go, spot seabirds along the shoreline, and take in the quiet beauty of this historic coastal community.

Just 10 minutes away, Bay Roberts offers grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday amenities.

Boat Lighting (A Must-Experience)

Port de Grave is home to one of Newfoundland’s most celebrated traditions—the Annual Boat Lighting.

Each December, the harbour comes alive with beautifully decorated fishing vessels, lit from dusk to midnight. Guests travel from near and far to experience it, and Anchor House places you right in the heart of it all.

• Pets: We’re pet-friendly (max 2 dogs). Please include pets in your booking and clean up after them
• Families: Families are welcome. Please note we are not equipped with children’s furniture (cribs, highchairs, etc.), so you’ll want to plan accordingly for little ones

• Septic System: No grease or food down drains—simple care keeps everything running smoothly
• Winter Stays: Snowfall can be significant. Parking is cleared, and shovels/salt are available if needed

Port de Grave, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Neighbourhood highlights

Port de Grave is one of a kind—a working fishing community with a strong sense of pride and connection. You’ll quickly notice what Newfoundland is known for: friendly faces, welcoming conversations, and a pace that invites you to slow down. Don’t be surprised if a simple “hello” turns into a great chat.

Take time to explore the harbour—watch fishing boats come and go, or sit and enjoy the view. In nearby Bareneed, you can catch the capelin rolling along Long Beach in early summer (July–August)—or simply ask a local, they’ll point you in the right direction.

Explore the surrounding communities:
• Blow Me Down – visit Lover’s Leap and take in the views
• Hibb’s Cove – home to the Fisherman’s Museum
• Ship Cove – where Anchor House is located, overlooking the fish plant
• Jailhouse Mountain – explore by foot and uncover local history
• Green Point Lighthouse – a registered heritage site and must-see

Stop by the local Tea Room for a bite or a souvenir, and if you’re looking to explore further, Bay Roberts, Brigus, Cupids, Harbour Grace, Carbonear, and St. John’s are all within easy reach.

If this is your first visit, we recommend checking out Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism for even more to see and do—there’s always something waiting to be discovered.
