About this property

Welcome to Picnic Island Resort

Located on 12 scenic acres along the waterfront of Honey Harbour, Picnic Island Resort offers rustic cottages designed for a laid-back stay. Guests can enjoy fire pits, sandy beaches, and access to canoe rentals, creating a relaxed environment well suited for families and those looking to unwind in nature. While amenities include free parking and Wi-Fi, there is no on-site pool, fitness center, or complimentary breakfast, and the resort maintains a smoke-free policy.

The property’s setting is a highlight, positioned just a short 10-minute boat ride from Beausoleil Island within Georgian Bay Islands National Park, providing convenient access to hiking, biking, and waterfront activities. It is also about 14 kilometers from Six Mile Lake Provincial Park, which offers additional opportunities for fishing, boating, and camping. Nearby natural attractions such as Awenda Provincial Park further enhance outdoor options for visitors keen on exploring local flora and bird species.

With a guest rating of 4.3 from 250 reviews, the resort appeals to visitors seeking a quiet and kid-friendly retreat rather than luxury resort amenities. Feedback suggests that while the location and setting receive positive notes, some guests take into account the limited on-site service options when planning their stay. The property’s straightforward style and focus on outdoor enjoyment make it a practical choice for nature enthusiasts or families wanting a simple cottage experience.

Accessibility is convenient for travelers, with Toronto Pearson International Airport about 1 hour 44 minutes away by car, and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport reachable in just over two hours. The combination of natural surroundings and modest accommodations defines Picnic Island Resort as a destination for those prioritizing outdoor leisure and peaceful surroundings over extensive hotel facilities.
