Deer Harbour
An exclusive off-the-grid retreat, where relaxed luxury meets the untamed beauty of Newfoundland’s coastline.
Resettlement has left a lasting mark on Newfoundland’s history, shaping its landscape and communities. Throughout the mid-20th century, government programs encouraged families in remote outports to relocate to larger, centralized towns, seeking better access to services and opportunities. These resettled communities, once vibrant and full of life, now stand as quiet echoes of the past.
Deer Harbour holds deep personal significance for Gypsy Sea Adventures, as it’s a community tied to generations of Brian’s family — a place steeped in stories, resilience, and the timeless beauty of Newfoundland's coastline. Once a thriving outport, resettlement saw its residents leave, but its spirit and breathtaking landscape remain. Guided by a passion for preserving its heritage and sharing its beauty, Brian and Vera have transformed this sheltered coastal gem into a relaxed luxury retreat where history meets modern indulgence.
Today, Deer Harbour offers an exclusive off-the-grid experience, inviting you to explore its rugged trails, relax in elegant accommodations, and enjoy bespoke adventures tailored to your interests. Whether it's savouring fresh, locally inspired meals in the outdoor kitchen, setting out on guided excursions, or simply soaking in the tranquility of this natural haven, every moment connects you to the land and its story. Deer Harbour is more than a destination; it’s a journey into Newfoundland’s past, reimagined for today’s discerning traveler.
Every detail of the Deer Harbour experience is designed to immerse you in nature while providing unparalleled luxury, creating a getaway that is as unique as it is unforgettable.
