DRIVING

Some of the folk art you will see on your way to Meldrum Bay

You can drive to Manitoulin Island by going south on Highway 6 from Espanola and then across the swing bridge in Little Current. There is an excellent information centre just as you cross over the bridge. You get to Highway 6 from Highway 17 - the TransCanada which connects Sault Ste. Marie and Ottawa.

TAKING THE FERRY

You can reach Manitoulin Island by the M.S. Chi-Cheemaun which sails from Tobermory to South Baymouth on the southern tip of Manitoulin Island. For a schedule go to: http://www.ontarioferries.com/chi/index.shtml. To get from South Baymouth to Meldrum Bay, take Highway 6 to Highway 542. Drive through Mindemoya and continue on Highway 542 to Highway 540 all the way to Meldrum Bay. You may want to make a diversion and stop off at Providence Bay on your way for a swim.

Meldrum Bay Cottage from the road

OK, SO NOW THAT I FINALLY MADE IT TO MELDRUM BAY, HOW DO I FIND THE HOUSE?

After you reach Meldrum Bay drive into the village and turn left after the Meldrum Bay Inn. Go up the hill and keep to the right. You should recognize the cottage from the pictures.
