My favourite spot for morning coffee - rain or shine. It is called 'OZ' because Derek, when he was about 14 years old, painted 'OZ FM' across the doors. His grandfather painted around the words & although we didn't, we christened it 'OZ' It is 2 buildings put together - one being an old hen house.
Opening the doors you will find a delightful and cozy retreat. At high tide, the water laps gently under the building and adds to the peaceful, serene feeling.

The view from the window at the end ... Stage Too
Another creation by my artist friend, Kathy Blake. EDEN By the Sea is most definitely our COLONY OF QUIET THE DREAMS
Morning, noon or night ... a peaceful place to be
STAGE TOO, where the kayaks park, is a great place to sit on the wharf - right on top of the water. We have kayaks for 5 ... one of them is tandem. They are available for anyone in any of the houses to use.

It is so different geographically than where we have called home. It is the difference of living on rich, fertile farmland in Southwestern Ontario or on solid rock; the difference of being surrounded by fields and crops or on a little island surrounded by the crashing Atlantic Ocean. But it's also so very much the same. We are surrounded by a wonderful neighbourhood and community, family & friendship, beautiful nature & adventure. Our lives have just been doubled. It is exciting & enriching & wonderful.   

An unexpected joy that we've had is in sharing our home and the experience with others. We have had such fun introducing old friends to new friends. It is a joy being there with people we love - friends and family - who we always wish we spent more time with at home but too often don't make it a priority.

When we aren't there, we do share the place with friends and those with a thread of connection. We are passionate about sharing the experience of discovering this unique and distinct gem and totally falling in love with Newfoundland - the land and the people. 

We are in the Central Region, on the East Coast of Newfoundland, in the district of Herring Neck on Salt Harbour Island. We are an hour and twenty minutes from the airport at Gander or five & a half from St. Johns.

In 2003 we visited Newfoundland for the first time. We had fully expected it to be a one time visit, but somehow it cast a spell over us and caused us to get caught up in the magic of this beautiful land. We quite simply just lost our minds and bought a house. No planning, no thought, no hesitation and absolutely, definitely NO regrets.

THE STUDIO
THE AREA
The red bubble isn't exactly in the correct spot ... but, hey - it's pretty impressive that it's even that close.

We are right where the word SALT is ... 34 Salt Harbour Road, Herring Neck, Newfoundland. In the satellite view, we are the 4th & 5th house just past the causeway.
Just about at the end of the Herring Neck road is the turn to Salt Harbour. The body of water between Salt Harbour and Sunnyside is GUT ARM and through the tickle is the ocean. The third photo is a view from the top of Harveys Hill at the end of the road. The 5th photo is the view from the causeway.
Sometimes the harbour is still and seems like you are looking at a mirror. Those days are lovely for kayaking. Sometimes there are little white caps. We have had a dolpin visiting us at the stage, a seal on the rock in front of the house and this winter, two whales in the harbour.
This is the view from the end of the road, up on Harvey's Hill. One direction is the quaint and beautiful community. Turn to the right & you will see Twillingate Island and the water tower. Rotate right and you see the ocean, Change Islands and Brimstone Head on Fogo, and next right is Ship Island.
The view of Balcalhoa Island and the lighthouse.

June 2, 2018  This berg parked itself behind our place for over two months.
 Our spot is the whole middle section ...the two houses, two stages and six out buildings.
A historic amount of ice in the habours in the spring of 2017
The Studio was reborn from a tired 'store' ... it's happy with its new life.
The front part was added by the last owner. The window in the sides & back were our vision.
It's a fabulous place to cozy up when it's raining & blowing ... or any time actually.
This is the 'Chat Room' ... conducive to a that
The upper part has lots of room too.
It's been used camping out, for screecihing in, for playing games and making art.
We brought the big steel window in the back all the way from Ontario.
