Woody Island Resort offers a vacation destination like no other, and plays host to many Newfoundland traditions such as the iconic kitchen party, sing-a-longs, traditional Newfoundland home cooked meals with toutons, fried cod, and fresh homemade bread. Other activities such as boating, hiking, etc. are also available.

Come experience everything Newfoundland has to offer - all at one destination. The resort's accommodations has 30 bedrooms, 28 bathrooms, dining room/common room, and a friendly staff working to ensure you feel right at home.
