Annual Girls’ Getaway: Discovering Ontario’s Best Boutique Motels
Summer is our favourite season, not just for the sunshine and warm weather, but because it's the time for our annual girls' trip. Every year, my best friends and I pack our bags, leave our worries behind, and embark on an adventure to discover the charm of Ontario's boutique motels. These trips are about laughter, relaxation, and creating memories that we cherish all year long. Let me take you on a journey through some of our favourite boutique motels, including our upcoming destination, the Kiwi Motel in Grand Bend.
The June Motel, Sauble Beach
Our love affair with boutique motels began at The June Motel in Sauble Beach. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by its retro-chic vibe. With its pastel colors, lush greenery, and Instagram-worthy decor, The June Motel is a dream come true for any group of girlfriends looking for a stylish retreat. We spent our days lounging by the pool, sipping cocktails, and exploring the beautiful Sauble Beach. The motel's cozy rooms and friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to our tradition.
The Penny Motel, Thornbury
Next on our list was The Penny Motel in Thornbury. This charming spot quickly became a favourite for its unique blend of vintage and modern aesthetics. The Penny Motel is nestled in the heart of Thornbury, a quaint town known for its wineries and stunning landscapes. We indulged in wine tastings, biked along the scenic Georgian Trail, and enjoyed delicious meals at local eateries. The motel's attention to detail and personalized touches made our stay unforgettable. It was the perfect place to unwind and bond over shared experiences.
The Kiwi Motel, Grand Bend
This year, our adventure will takes us to the Kiwi Motel in Grand Bend. Known for its vibrant beach town vibe, Grand Bend offers the perfect backdrop for our summer escape. The Kiwi Motel promises a unique blend of relaxation and excitement. With its chic, modern design and prime location near the beach, we can't wait to explore everything it has to offer. From beach days and sunset views to exploring local shops and cafes, our itinerary is packed with fun activities. We're looking forward to creating new memories and strengthening our friendship even further.

Why We Love Boutique Motels
Boutique motels offer a unique blend of charm, character, and personalized service that larger hotels often lack. They provide a cozy, intimate atmosphere where we can truly unwind and connect. Each motel has its own story and personality, making every trip feel special and unique. Plus, the aesthetics are always on point, giving us plenty of photo ops to capture our memories.
Our annual girls' trip to boutique motels in Ontario is more than just a getaway; it's a cherished tradition that strengthens our bond and provides a much-needed break from our daily routines. Whether it's the retro charm of The June Motel, the vintage-modern blend of The Penny Motel, or the vibrant vibe of The Kiwi Motel, each destination offers something unique and magical. Here's to many more summers of laughter, adventure, and friendship!
