Bonnie Doone Manor on the Beach

Southwestern Ontario


Many love this ramshackle holiday motel – the only one on the beach – that has been lovingly updated and maintained by the same family for more than 50 years. Rooms are a time-warp with bright, colorful accents. Many face the water for unimaginably beautiful sunsets. There's also a quaint private cottage. Located a hop-skip-and-jump from Main St too.
