McCauley's Havilland Bay

What an incredible experience! When you “fly by the seat of your pants” like we do you keep your expectations very low. McCauleys has shown us that you can find a gem if you’re lucky. The room was very comfortable and modern with new furnishings and a clean environment. The restaurant which opened at 4 was warmed by a wood fire and a staff that really cares. The food was homemade and delicious, the beer was cold and green for St. Patrick’s Day, and the dessert was so fresh we had to wait for it to come out of the oven. All that being said, the owners really love what they’re doing and it shows in every aspect of the experience. Even Duke was welcoming and gave us some love. Not what you expect from a motel in northern Ontario!

By far the best motel we’ve ever stayed in. Owners are warm, welcoming, gave great tips for things to do in the area and clearly put a lot of hard work into caring for their place. The rooms feel airy, bright, clean, and the location is fantastic. Highly recommend.

You've been on the road driving across northern Ontario for what seems like days. Trees, rocks, water. Water, rocks trees. Regardless of the beauty of Lake Superior driving is tiring and we look forward to a good nights rest. Where to stop? McCauleys is your answer...Super Clean & Super Comfortable. Way above average. Great value. Nice owners. After a long haul across the North or heading to the Sault for any reason or wanting to hang out I would highly recommend you drive the extra 20 minutes and enjoy Lake Superior at your back door, fire pit and plenty of room for walking your dog. It's so great to find owners that take pride & joy of ownership. Sincerely

I can’t say enough about this place! They are closed right now but my nephew was travelling across Canada back to Ontario and his gas tank was on empty and couldn’t find a gas station. Found this motel which was closed but had a phone number to call. He let my nephew check in and is helping him with gas in the morning and is making him a pizza so he can have something to eat! None of this Justin had to do but he did! Just from this service I would 100% recommend! There are still good people in this world! Justin. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Rooms are very clean, beds are SUPER comfortable, loved the keurig coffee maker in the room, and the stunning VIEWS!! The kids loved the beach volleyball court on the property. We will definitely stay here when visiting Sault Ste. Marie again

Stayed the evening while in Canada for a snowmobile trip with friends. Location was easy in and out. Rooms were clean and service was friendly. Extra cabin for overflow space was nice. Owner had a fire going for us when we got there.

Great find. Historic old motel recently taken on and Reno’d by a couple with local roots. Beautifully done, charming room with a great (Endy!) bed. The bar/resto has reopened and is also outstanding (fresh local fish for us). If we are back near the Sault again we wouldn’t even consider anywhere else. And the Bay is right there for the holiday folks.

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN room!!! Super comfortable new bed felt like we were sleeping on a cloud all night. The owners were awesome people that helped out in any way they could to make us feel at home. I asked for extra pillows and with in seconds I had nice comfy extra pillows on my bed. The view of the mountain was spectacular. This place is right off the HWY a nice little gem to stay at. Feels like home away from home. Can’t ask for more accommodating and friendly owners than Justin and Alicia. Thank you 🙏 we will be back.

Very friendly owners, beautiful area near Lake Superior. We were able to cross the street and watch the sun set in the evening-so picturesque. Rooms are modern and clean. The king bed was super comfy! We enjoyed our stay, as we were made to feel welcome and even enjoyed a late night fire, that was provided by the owners. Having dinner was pleasant and service was great. The taco salad was the best I’ve ever had. We have stayed there twice and would stay again. 🤗
