Paint:  The Art Barn has its own studio space. 

Yoga:  In nearby Cape Broyle, you can take yoga classes with Niki Hawkins in her beautifully restored home (a former church).
Hike:    Minutes from the East Coast Trail, we also have guides who can organise day trips into the Butterpot Mountains, home of the Masterless Men.
Cruise the Coast:  Spend an afternoon aboard Paddy's Five.  Join Captain Jim Dunne and his brothers aboard Paddy's Five for lunch and a cruise along the coast.

Bird watch:   Renews has its very own resident bald eagle who keeps a diligent watch while enjoying the setting sun on the harbour rocks.  For further information, contact Newfoundland Birder Newsgroup This newsgroup posts up-to-the-hour reports of sightings from all over the province. Because it is interactive, you can respond to the observer and seek out specific instructions for finding the birds referred to in the postings.

On clear nights it seems as though the stars are falling down on your head.  For further information link to Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, St. John's Chapter

St.  John's:  No visit to St. John's is complete without a visit to The Rooms.  It’s the place where it all comes together — history, heritage and artistic expression. The Rooms unites the Provincial Museum, the Provincial Art Gallery and the Provincial Archives under one roof.
