We needed a place to stay in Wawa. Stopped at the Northern Lights Motel, and was very pleasantly surprised. Very charming. The room was full of many personal touches, including a deck of cards, cribbage board, sudoku books, and novels. The back of the bathroom door, had entertaining reading material posted. The extra's are too numerable to mention, but you... More

Our family stayed there about 9 years ago when we were on a long trek across Ontario. It was pretty dark when we got there and I thought it would be a typical so-so roadside motel, but I was wrong! You feel welcome as soon as you step inside the front door. Both owners were so nice to us. Our... More

Wow! Thank you for the review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay - so long ago! We still have piles of core samples, and even put them in the Breakfast Room for the guests now. I've been told that I should make bookends with them.... It'd be a great winter project. We hope to see you again -... More

We stayed at the Northern Lights on their last night of the season in mid-October, but their welcome was as warm as it could be. Very decent sized motel room, with large bathroom, comfortable beds, good TV and functiong WiFi. Our Golden Retriever pup was happy too, and tore around the motel site a couple of dozen times before retiring.... More

Thank you so much for reviewing our Retro Motel! Yes, the Chain Hotels are taking over (just like Walmart), but we have fun keeping this crazy business going! So happy that you enjoyed your stay and that your pooch enjoyed the grounds. We hope to see you again sometime! Cheers! More

The reviews for the Northern Lights Motel intrigued me so much that I just had to give it a try for our first stay in Wawa. And when I corresponded via email with Maureen, who owns the place with her husband John, her warm and friendly replies made me look forward even more to visiting the place. The Motel is... More

Because of Wawapalooza we couldn't book accommodation in Wawa proper so continued a short distance west on the TransCanada Hwy and found an unknown gem in NORTHERN LIGHTS MOTEL & BREAKFAST. Like a home away from home with all the personal TLC at the front desk, in each room and great breakfast in the morning. Where else can you find... More

I visited the motel in August on my way to Thunder Bay. The Northern Lights free breakfast alone is worth the stop. The rooms are excellent with a collection of humorous sayings scattered through-out the room. You are always treated as valued guests by the owners. A stop I never miss when travelling west on 17.
