One of the best place i have ever stayed . I was so unsure about choosing this place while i was road tripping from Regina , Sk to ontario. But like we say perception gets cloured by experience in reality . This place actually changed my views which got influenced by the bunch of reviews from the same sort of people . The owner is pretty cool and the restaurant is awesome .One of the best place to catch sunset too ... everyone should checkout this place and ask the owner to get direction to watch the sunset ...

We stayed at McCauleys Haviland Bay in Ontario which had a 9.4 exceptional rating on Expedia – I would rate it as the most exceptionally overrated place we have stayed. Based on the amount that we paid for 1 night I expected a very nice place. The information said the rooms had WiFi for up to 6 devices – maybe that meant 6 devices in the entire motel. We could not get stable WiFi for even 3 devices. The flat screen TV was useless because of the unstable WiFi. There were no electrical outlets in the bathroom and too few outlets overall. You had to choose between various things to plug in - coffee maker, refrig, fan, light or personal devices – even though I had an extension cord - it was not useable with the existing receptacles. While one lamp had a usb port, it had inadequate power to charge my phone. At the very least power strips with usb and usc ports are needed. The refrig while very cute retro design makes an annoying buzz, so we unplugged it for sleeping. They claimed to have a ‘pillow menu’ – there were 2 pillows on the bed – 1 per person. The ‘individually furnished room’ had not a chair to sit on. The picture is deceptive in that it makes you think that you are looking at the mountain – but that is across the highway and the picture has been ‘enhanced’ to some degree. I would rate this as a clean 1950s motel with a friendly proprietor with a 6.0 at the very most. For nearly $200 / night we felt we were ripped off.

Beautiful location. Pretty beach/quiet road nearby. We did not avail of all family services available-it was raining. The owner was awesome - she stopped by to check in with us and advise the TCH to Thunder Bay was washed out and closed (due to earlier heavy rains). Offered us the next night booking, but also advised alternative detour we could use next day. We chose to take detour back to Thessalon, and onwards north. No hesitation to refer this property, and would use this property again in the future. With on property facilities and the beach less than 5 min stroll, it would make a perfect family stop. Not sure about restaurant or food availability, we did not need based on our travel times. Two thumbs up 👍

The room was quite lovely. A garbage receptacle would be helpful in the living area as well as the bathroom. The bottom of the tub was somewhat stained. The TV reception and choice of channels was not great. Programs kept buffering and there was no choice of regular cable channels.

This is a very comfortable place to stay. It was very clean. Check in and check out was very easy owners are on site to help you with any problems that you may have. The restaurant was great with lots of interesting signage and decor. Everything we ordered was very tasty. We will definitely have future stays in this comfortable motel.

My wife and I stayed one night at McCauleys. We liked the location 25 miles north of the Canadian Soo. The small refrigerator in our room was very nice as it not only kept our cooler foods overnight, but the attached freezer allowed us to re-freeze our cold packs as well. What we did not like was that the bathroom had no electric outlet for a hair dryer, nor did the bathroom have an exhaust fan. My wife did not have good hot water for her shower and ended up with only cold water to wash her hair. Not a good way to start the day !

It is so easy to get to off the highway and is walking distance to a few beaches. People are friendly, the room was beautiful and we just felt comfortable as soon as we got there. We got a text pre-arrival with our room number and the where the key was going to be. Had we arrived super late (like we had at other locations this trip) we wouldn't have had to worry about the front desk being closed.
