Maynard's
Torrent River Inn (Hawke's
Bay, Newfoundland)
Maynard's Torrent River
Inn is conveniently located right on the
main Viking Trail road and mid-way between Gros
Morne National Park and St Anthony’s. It
allows a natural stop-over when traveling up the
northern peninsula or when returning from either
the northern tip of the peninsula or Labrador.
Access couldn’t be easier.
You just pull off the Viking Trail road and onto
the parking lot. The Torrent River Inn offers the
following services on the premises:
Onsite bar
offering local entertainment
24/7 front desk
service
Well stocked
video and reading library providing
information on local culture and history.
Complimentary VCR available for in room
viewing.
Rooms are
accessible from the parking lot as well
as from an inside hallway.
Laundry
facilities
Access to Hogan's
Trail boardwalk
General impressions:
I found the Torrent River Inn to
be convenient when motorcycle touring. Just pull
off the main road and into the Inn’s ample
parking lot. Unload your stuff, take a shower,
and you’re ready to unwind. Rooms are
spacious and comfortable.
Before dinner, I took a relaxing
walk along the 3km long boardwalk that cuts
through The Torrent River Nature Park (forest)
and flanks the Torrent River. A nice way to
unwind and get some needed exercise after a full
day spent riding. I struck up interesting
conversations with some of the older fishermen
there.
Meals (light or finer dining) and
entertainment are available on the premises. You
can get some laundry done, watch a video or two
on local history and culture, and then drop by
the bar and enjoy local entertainment. You get
the idea.
There is a computer available in
the lobby offering internet access so you can
check e-mail etc.
note: The Torrent River Inn is
nestled amid prime trout and salmon fishing
areas. Anyone who enjoys fly fishing will be well
served. Access to the Torrent River is a few
steps away.
