Did you know there are NO Laundromats in Gander.... Nope... except for this lovely little place, with two washers and two dryers. They were welcoming and we got our laundry done with zero hassles.... Thanks folks...

Called last minute for accommodations. Staff over the phone were quick to offer us a 1 bedroom cabin for the night. Staff were friendly during check in and the cabin was fantastic. Everything we needed was there, bed was comfortable. Tv had cable included and was easy to use. We didn’t stay for too long but this place seemed to check all the boxes. Fantastic place, can’t wait to go back when I have a little more time to spend. Thanks

Spent one night in their RV park in our 40’ motorhome. Appreciated having 3 way hookups after boondocking for one week. Sites were all pull throughs, very close to your neighbors, but level. Owners were friendly and helpful. The only thing which would help to make this a better park would be to fix their roads, never seen so many potholes!! However, we would stay here again when passing through Gander.

We stayed in June 2025 while on a motorcycle trip. We called in late, just as they were closing the office for the night. They had a room that suited our needs and so they booked us in and left the key in accessible area. Although the room was basic, it was clean and neat and was perfect for a nights sleep. The breakfast was basic but again met our needs. If I were coming through and needed a night, I'd certainly stay again.
