Plan to stay with us all year round!

Remember that the Meldrum Bay Inn is open 12 months of the year. Many say that the very best times on the Island are the off-season months and it's exciting for us to offer our accomodations and restaurant to west-end adventurers. Plan a stay with us and experience 'the other side' of the Manitoulin. Enjoy our great outdoors and hike, bike, snowshoe, snowmobile, ice fish...whatever your passion.

Check this website in the future for our fall and winter service hours & programs.

The new breakwater!

After many years of negotiation and planning, the big news in the village is that the construction of the long-awaited breakwater is complete. For more than a century and a half, mariners have found safe harbour in Meldrum Bay, and this improvement provides for a safer and more secure harbour for more boats in all weather conditions.

During last summer, the project involved a regular procession of trucks during the week days, bringing stone from the near-by Lafarge Quarry for placement on the new breakwater. Come out and see the excitement!

Every season, we make improvements and changes to the Inn to help make your stay with us even better.

When we first arrived to our new lives in Meldrum Bay, we set to work revamping the kitchen and upgrading the rooms and living quarters. We added a full garden (watch the boats or read a book under the trees!), an outdoor hot tub (relax under the stars!) and high-speed wireless Internet access.

Since then, we've redecorated and added electric fireplace heaters to all the rooms, refinished the central staircase, and expanded the garden. Summers are always special for us, and it's when we see most of our friends and guests, but remember that we're open all year and would love to see you any season.
