Our Story

Four best friends coming together to build something great.  Saltwater Steeple is born

We’re Michael and Brandon, and Emily and Luke; two families brought together by friendship and a shared love for Newfoundland.

For Michael, Port Saunders is home. His family still lives here, and he and Brandon return often with their two kids, who have grown to love everything about outport Newfoundland, the harbour views, rugged landscapes, and welcoming community. For Emily and Luke, visiting Newfoundland quickly turned into something more: a deep connection to the place and a desire to share it with others.

When we came across the former church on Church of England Road, we all saw the same thing, a chance to create something unique. A building with history, a view that takes your breath away, and a space that could become a gathering place once again.

Together, we’ve invested in this vision: to welcome travellers, families, and friends to experience what makes this place so special.

This isn’t just a place to stay, it’s an opportunity to share Newfoundland’s history, beauty, and spirit with you.
