Tourists visiting Wasaga Beach have a lot to look
forward to. Apart from the world’s largest freshwater beach, there are a number
of hiking trails and options for cycling. During the winter, snowmobile trails
and cross country skiing are also available. There are educational tours at the
Nancy Island historical site, mini and regular golf courses, a Go Kart track,
fishing, canoeing, paintball, and much more.
With so many options and things to do, it is little
wonder that most tourists extend their trips by several days. An important
factor that allows people to do this is the excellent but cheap accommodation
available at cottages throughout Wasaga Beach. They can almost be described as
a boutique or motel resorts. They offer a wide range of amenities while also cutting back many of the pointless
embellishments and extras commonly associated with hotels in other popular
tourist destinations. This allows Wasaga Beach to maintain a small town charm
despite attracting over two million tourists every year.
The top five things that set these Wasaga Beach
cottages apart are outlined here.
•Amenities:
Cottages are designed in a way that will make you feel as if you are in a home
away from home. These cottages offer clean rooms with an
air conditioner, LCD TV, Wi-Fi (usually free), and a coffee maker. Some
appliances like hair dryers, ovens, mixers etc. are usually available on request.
Housekeeping and other facilities like towels and toiletries are provided on
request. Light housekeeping and extra towels are usually available at a small
charge.
•No Pets:
Most cottage establishments have a ‘no-pets-allowed’ policy. So you can walk in
the lawns without stepping on something you wish you didn’t. But still be careful if you do decide to take
your morning walk barefoot, as spiders are quite common in the town and nearby
areas, though none are dangerous to humans.
•Non-Smoking
Rooms: Most cottages do not allow smoking inside the rooms and thus
ensures clean and pollution free rooms
•Picnic and
BBQ: Barbeque rentals are free, and most cottage establishments have
several shared barbeque and designated areas for picnic and BBQ parties. Enjoy
them with your family, friends or socialize with other guests.
•Booking and
Cancelations: Cottages in Wasaga
Beach are small family run operations. As such, their booking and cancellation
policies may seem stricter than large hotels. They will charge a small booking
fee, usually the cost of one night’s stay as an advance. Cancelations also need
to be done several days. In case of a no-show or a late cancelation, the
booking fee may be non-refundable.
