Brigus Breakfast Club

While breakfast might be the most important meal of the day – one most ensure that it consists of healthy dietary inputs and is best combined with a morning fitness program. The Harbour House invites you to take a step in the right direction with our ‘Brigus Breakfast’ program. Our resident chef promises a special breakfast alternative every morning and with a variety of walking routes throughout the community – you’ll find every excuse to stimulate your body, brain and belly to create a better brand of you!

Around the Bay
While the idea of heading “Up the Southern Shore” might seem confusing – a “randy” around Conception Bay is about as straight forward as it gets. Whether you’re planning a berry picking trip or shooting the hands off the clock on a Sunday drive – Brigus’ Harbour House offers the perfect turn about. Stop for a pint, a cup of tea, a delightful meal or an overnight retreat in this wondrous little seaport. You’ll be delighted with the setting and we love a bit of company!

The Great Escape
We all need a break at some point and whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or simply trying to inject a little ‘Rumance’ in your relationship (you bring the rum darling and I’ll bring the antics!) there’s no better place to hide than the Harbour House in Brigus. Our luxurious rooms, quaint pub and community atmosphere is guaranteed to put a bounce in your step and invigorate the soul! Oh this is the place where…..

The Hills are Alive
It seems that everyone recognizes the importance of exercise these days and whether you are seeking a rigorous trek, a mountain bike adventure or a simple stroll – Brigus should be acknowledged as the participaction capital of Newfoundland. An intricate web of laneways spread throughout the lowlands of the town while the surrounding hills offer a variety of ancient paths and trails which access a host of intriguing destinations; from swimming holes and view points to neighbouring villages and brilliant geological formations – Brigus is high on life!

Storm Chaser
While most Newfoundlanders have enough sense to come in out of the weather there’s a breed out there who take great pleasure in facing down Mother Nature’s worst. Thankfully Brigus offers the best of both worlds since the natural harbour provides excellent shelter from the harsh north easterners that savagely tear down on Light House Head. Whether you choose to venture out in the elements or sit tight in the pub – the Harbour House is the perfect port for any storm.

Yankee Come Home
There are few places where American visitors will find a warmer welcome than that extended by the Newfoundland people. Newfoundlanders accredit the United States for liberating them from poverty during the Second World War. Many would argue that the island and its people endured third world conditions before it was recognized for its strategic importance with the installation of several military, naval and air force bases. The ensuing construction boom was the first alternative to fishing that local people ever experienced. Furthermore, the American Government paid the local workers in cash dollars. Another first, for generations of Newfoundlanders had subsisted in a mercantile economy based on truck and trade.

Despite years of tenure under British rule the ‘Yanks’ were the first to recognize the beauty of the island. They invested in infrastructure, explored the wilds and embraced the culture. Theirs was a true immersion highlighted by a capture of 20,000 Newfoundland girls who followed their hearts and married American servicemen. Most notable however has been the many acts of kindness and generosity the American’s extended to the people of Newfoundland. From as far back as the days of sail and economic trade, to the haven provided to overseas airline passengers following the horrific events witnessed on Sept 9, 2001, the United States has made countless gifts and offerings to Newfoundlanders.

In celebration of this very special and longstanding relationship the Harbour House Inn has created a welcome environment for all our guests.
