Wrecking Harbour Retreat

06/07/2026

Helping our guests relax, unwind, and experience a little more of Newfoundland.

When designing Wrecking Harbour Retreat, we wanted each space to feel connected to the place we call home. From the design choices to the products found throughout the properties, we’ve made a conscious effort to incorporate local businesses and makers whose work we genuinely love.

Featuring:
• Artwork by The White's Emporium
• Bath products by East Coast Glow
• Local drinks by Rough Waters Brewing Co.
• Locally available food from Piatto Pizzeria + Enoteca found at Robbins Value Grocer

We hope to continue growing this list in the years ahead. Not only because supporting local matters to us, but because Newfoundland is home to so many incredible people creating exceptional products that deserve to be shared.

We’ve been seeing so many amazing comments and questions online — thank you to everyone showing interest in our little corner of the world 🌎

One question we’ve been getting a lot is whether Wrecking Harbour Retreat will offer year-round bookings… and the answer is yes!

Since the very beginning of this project, our goal has been to showcase just how special Lumsden is throughout every season. From beautiful icebergs and sandy summer beaches to snow-covered trails, cozy winter nights, and the northern lights dancing overhead, this area truly has something unique to offer all year long.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome guests in every season and help share the full Lumsden experience with you all.

We are incredibly grateful for the amount of community support and outreach we’ve received over the past few days.
 
To everyone who has messaged us, shared our posts, reached out, or booked a stay with us already, thank you so much. The response since launching has honestly meant the world to us.
 
Wrecking Harbour Retreat has truly been a labour of love from day one. We always had a vision for what this place could become and have been deeply hands-on throughout the entire process, hoping that the care, passion, and attention to detail we poured into it would shine through once complete.
 
Seeing the excitement surrounding the properties and reading your messages has been incredibly rewarding and a powerful reminder that all the hard work was worth it.
 
We cannot wait to welcome you to Lumsden and share this beautiful corner of Newfoundland with you.

We are so happy to finally say… bookings are now officially open at Wrecking Harbour Retreat!

Three years ago this month, we broke ground on what would become our four beach house properties overlooking the beautiful beaches of Lumsden, Newfoundland. Transforming this remote stretch of land into a premium coastal retreat has been one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences of our lives.

From countless nights spent planning and refining the interior design and guest experience, to long days on the construction site, every detail of Wrecking Harbour Retreat has been built with care, passion, and a deep love for this area. While the process hasn’t always been easy, seeing these homes finally come to life makes it all worthwhile.

We’re incredibly excited to begin this next chapter and officially welcome guests to experience this special corner of Newfoundland for themselves.

If you’re looking to unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature, we’d love to host you.

Our local school is the heart of the community. The staff at Lumsden Academy go above and beyond to ensure every child is given the attention, love, and care they need. We were so happy to provide a relaxing morning for these amazing people on their Mental Health & Wellness Day. ❤️☕️

THANK YOU!

The Wrecking Harbour Retreat hosted the staff of Lumsden Academy for part of their morning session on Friday! It was part of the Mental Health and Wellness Professional Learning! Their hospitality was tremendous! We can’t thank you enough!

Together, we are stronger - community members supporting each other! ❤️🤍

Have you ever seen a beach melt? 🧊 As spring approaches we start to see amazing things on the beach. Layers of sand and snow on top of each other begin to collapse and melt forming all kinds of unique shapes and little streams. Not to mention the beach finds. Each time of year here is unique and brings its own kind of magic. We can't wait for you to explore it.
