Russeltown Inn operates as a "decentralized inn," offering suites in a number of heritage properties all restored to the same luxurious standard. It's in one of the best locations in Bonavista to explore the town or to head off to Elliston to hike and look for puffins. Other rental homes and vacation cottages offered by Russelltown are decorated in a peaceful Cape Cod style featuring the work of local visual and textile artists.
Overlooking Bonavista Harbour, just a few steps from the Ryan Premises, this heritage property is a great place to drop anchor for the night. Built in the 1920s as a general store, it has been completely restored, and the comfortable rooms contain locally made furniture. Downstairs, seafood stars on the menu at Skipper's restaurant, which has a great view of the busy working harbor, especially from the outdoor deck.
