Conveniently located just outside of the town of Parrsboro, this motel offered good value for the money. Very clean, easy access and very friendly owners. Especially appreciated was the free breakfast included with room charges particularly since breakfast options in the town were effectively non-existent. Great breakfast options cooked onsite as they were ordered. Good option for travellers either as an overnight stay or for a few days!

My friend and I had a fantastic one night stay at The Sunshine Inn- we wish we were spending more time in the area so we could have stayed longer. It was so cute and is run by the nicest people. The breakfast was insanely good and cooked so quickly, was just what we needed before our big day kayaking in Advocate Harbour! We will definitely recommend this spot to any of our friends and family if they’re coming to the area :)
