Here time seems to pass more slowly as you experience the constantly changing Atlantic ocean, the dramatic, rocky coastline, northern landscape, clean air, simple, quiet lifestyle and, in season, icebergs, whales, seabirds and blueberries. Points East is the home of folklorist Elke Dettmer. You will benefit from her long experience of living and working in Newfoundland, and from her enthusiasm for this little known region as she plans your vacation to match your personal interests. Among Newfoundland's major attractions are spectacular nature and wildlife, rare geological features, a unique folk culture. On request detailed plans complete with bookings will be provided for groups and individuals.
Costs depend on the complexity of the project.
Points East is located directly on the East Coast Trail, a long-distance hiking trail that connects picturesque communities, natural attractions and lighthouses for a length of over 300 km from Cape St. Francis to Cape Race. At Points East we are actively engaged in the development of this trail, parts of which can already be hiked with local guides. Points East offers a taste of traditional Newfoundland. You will stay in a home that is over 100 years old, furnished simply and comfortably. As in earlier times, when fishing families lived here, a small farm is part of Points East.
