Gorgeous location and facility. There are plenty of different spots to enjoy within the confines of the spa that you never feel overcrowded or bored. Amazing views, great staff. If I were to nitpick, the steam room was closed upon my visit and this was not disclosed prior to booking the experience. Easily one of the most attractive spas in Quebec. Looking forward to returning!
What a wonderful day. Every part of our experience was lovely. The spa is clean and well thought out. Many different types of saunas, freezing cold, cool, and warm pools, waterfalls, hammocks and swaying chairs as well as Adirondack chairs galore. Bring a book and relax for hours! The majority of the spaces are quiet or silent spots. So peaceful. The colors of the leaves in the fall were spectacular. The landscaping was beautiful.
Beautifully location and staff is amazing. Sauna rituals are amazing and always enjoy a cold plunge after. There is so much to discover there; multiple different temp pools, multiple different types of saunas, great locations to sit and enjoy a drink or snack and tons of other things to do as well. The food is always great as well. Book early if you want to include a treatment. Highly recommend the facial
Our experience was very pleasant. Facilities were well-maintained and staff were considerate and responsive. The saunas were immaculate, and the ceremonies better than anticipated. We arrived on a quiet Sunday morning, and by the time we left (afternoon), the amount of attendees had quadrupled. Very busy, which led to some bathrooms not being kept up with quite as quickly. But these were minor incidents and eventually resolved. The hottest hot tub was packed, which was a bit unsavoury. We stayed clear and stuck to the saunas and cold plunges. It would seem to make more sense to not have differentiating warm pool temps to accommodate more people. It was clear everyone wanted the warmer temp waters. All in all, a great time. High probability of us returning in the future.
A perfect day of hot/cold/relax at this gorgeous spa! Facilities are immaculate (change room, relaxation rooms, pools, restaurants), food options and quality of food are delish! Little things like flavoured waters and teas are much appreciated :). The team at the front of the house and on the grounds are wonderful! Makes for a wonderful day…
It was amazingly serene and nurturing for an extremely busy SPA. Nordic Spa have made client organization an art. I spent 5 hours here and never felt rushed. Please look at the services - there are many wonderful options. I say - do them all and take your time.
The Nordik Spa is absolutely stunning and relaxing from the moment you step foot in it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at the entrance, setting a great tone for the day. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to help you unwind. The hammocks, swinging egg chairs, lounges, saunas, warm and cold pools with waterfalls — all set in the middle of nature — made for an incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating experience. We loved every minute and will absolutely be returning. I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to multiple disruptions regarding photography. According to the village code, guests are allowed to take photos and videos as long as they respect others’ privacy, which we fully adhered to. Every photo we took was either of ourselves or of empty areas with no one else in view. Still, we were approached multiple times and warned not to take pictures — once by the lady at the cash at the infinity pool bar who initially said no photos were allowed, then corrected herself and clarified that photos of ourselves were fine if no one else was in the shot. Yet shortly after, she had another employee come and warn us again, even though we were not violating the stated guidelines. This repeated interruption — especially when we were following the rules — detracted from an otherwise seamless and relaxing visit. If the policy is that absolutely no photos or videos are allowed, this should be made explicitly clear in the spa’s rules to avoid confusion and ensure a more enjoyable experience for guests. That aside, the spa itself is beautiful, peaceful, and definitely worth visiting!
Made the trip up from Rochester, NY (USA) and it was very worth it! We went in right as it opened at 8:30 and stayed until around 7pm. Could’ve stayed even longer if we didn’t have to drive back home. The bathrooms/dressing area was very nice. They have showers and hair driers/straighteners for after. The shampoo and conditioner smelled good but it was terrible, felt like it did nothing to my hair. There are so many different pools/saunas/cold plunges that it took us a good chuck of time to try everything :) all of the sit down/hammock spots were amazing. It was super peaceful up until around 11:30a. My friend said that after that time the crowds started to pick up, the type of music playing changed as well. Overall, we ended up getting lucky as I didn’t think the crowds were too terrible (went on a Sunday). On more than one occasion we were had a pool or sauna all to ourselves. The food was very good! I got a salmon bagel in the morning and my friend got a breakfast sandwich. For lunch we had the mushroom pizza and an impossible burger. All of it was delish! I also got a massage in nature which was well worth the price upgrade! It was extremely relaxing with the sounds of nature and the waterfall outside. The guy who did my massage was extremely nice. It was my first time getting a massage and he was good at explaining everything to me and helping me to try to relax my body as much as I could. The “rituals” were very unique and challenging! I would recommend trying them out. Having everything be in Canadian prices made things extra sweet ;)

First Time Skiing – Amazing Experience at Camp Fortune! This was my first time ever skiing, and Camp Fortune made it such a great experience! The instructors were incredibly patient and helpful—they made learning feel fun and easy, even for a total beginner like me. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. I had a scheduling issue, and they went out of their way to change my session time to something that worked better for me, no hassle at all. Overall, I felt really welcomed and supported the whole time. I’d definitely recommend Camp Fortune to anyone, especially if you’re just getting started with skiing!
Who needs a plane when you’ve got three heart-pumping ziplines at Camp Fortune? ⚡️ Just 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa, this Gatineau gem delivers thrills, laughs, and views that’ll leave you speechless. We kicked off the day soaring through the treetops (it's three ziplines back-to-back). The forest rush is real, and the views? Next level. 🌲💨 From there, we hopped onto the mountain coaster — think rollercoaster meets nature trail, and you're the driver. 🎢 You control the speed, but honestly, it’s hard not to go full steam ahead. The ride feels wild but totally safe, thanks to the incredibly friendly and professional staff who made us feel at ease the entire time. Huge shoutout to Jacob and Jola who could not have been more kind and friendly 👋😃 Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or just here for the views, there's something for everyone. You get all the fun of a mini adventure park without the long road trip. This is the kind of day trip that turns into a highlight of your summer. 🌞 We left feeling lighter, happier, and already plotting our return. Don’t sleep on this one — it’s the perfect combo of nature and excitement. 🍃🔥 And it's just opened for the season!!!
Wonderful skiing experience! Great place to ski IF You have your own equipment. Rentals are quite on the high side but i’d say it’s worth it. There’s multiple areas to ski depending on your level of skill and there’s also a lift to take you to the top of the hill. There’s are also places to get food and beverages as well and there’s an accessible parking. Great experience overall
We love Camp Fortune! Wonderful set up for kids lessons and family friendly atmosphere. We are fortunate that our kids are growing up with the love of skiing! Would love to see option implemented for a drop off line or more shuttles from the city.
While you can't compare Camp Fortune's modest size to big ski resorts, it is a great alternative for those learning to ski, or experienced skiers who want to enjoy the outdoors. My family had a lot of fun during a recent visit and would happily go back.
Came with a couple of my friends, and had a great time honestly. Definitely seems like a popular spot as the lines were pretty long. It was also my first time snowboarding, so it took me quite a while to get the hang of things. Do buy your tickets in advance and come with your own stuff but besides that, it’s a good spot to come with family and friends
We visited Camp Fortune in Gatineau Park with friends and children and had an amazing time. The place offers a variety of summer activities, perfect for both kids and adults. We enjoyed hiking, zip-lining, and the adventure courses. The cafe on-site served traditional meals, providing a nice break and a chance to enjoy some good food. The natural beauty of the park, combined with the fun activities, made it a memorable outing for everyone. It's a fantastic spot for family-friendly outdoor adventures!
Very disappointed with the MTB at Camp Fortune. Signage is virtually non-existent, and staff are unable to provide visitors with information. Trails are not very well maintained or marked. $20 per person is very excessive for a site like this. It's better to go to the public trails in Gatineau Park. No control over the trails, makes you wonder if it's worth paying. Not even wristbands available! The mogul park is very small. Don't go there with children or if you are a beginner. Only the MTB chairlift employees were professional.

One of the best experiences you can have if you live nearby, this is the must trail. Be prepared to walk around 9-10km out and back. Normally takes around 2-3 hours in total, depending on how much time you are spending at the cave itself. Please carry extra pair of shoes with you, headlamps are necessary- Do not rely on phone lights, also carry extra pair of clothes as there is no chance that you can get out with dry clothes. Please keep bug spray with you for afterwards as it can get bad.
The cave is super fun, wish it was longer. The hike to get there is kind of boring for the most part. Very nice park though with other activities possible
One of my top ten hiking experiences due to the cave at the end! We went before 10am which was good 'cause it can get busy by noon. Also, we brought some headlamps which we picked up at a dollar store, which made everything much easier. also, we were prepared to get wet because we had read that you need to go up to your chin in water.. which we did. if you've never been underground, this might be a bit overwhelming. for us it was totally cool! When we arrived, we saw a six year-old and his dad emerging so we knew that it was quite doable for us. We went in August and the water was a decent temperature. The cave was cool but not cold and the climbing felt relatively safe. There are about three spots where there are natural skylights. The traverse takes about 10-15 minutes to go through slowly. we had so much fun. We did it twice.
What a beautiful experience! Just make sure if you want to go in the caves bring, water shoes, head lights and helmet for the kids because some areas are short and kids might hit their heads if they aren’t paying attention.
There's a nice and easy hike of about 5kms from the beach parking lot to the caves. They are pretty easy to navigate and kid friendly.
About 4-5 km hike to get to an incredible rock formation underground. Relatively safe, the NCC recommends bringing a flashlight, helmet and water shoes. Bring a spare pare of socks / shoes, you'll 100% get wet. The ceiling gets very low and it's dark so be prepared, go with enough daylight left too. Beautiful!
This trail is easy to moderate depending on your physical condition. There is one area you have to climb over a large rock, a rope is provided for support. The caves are dark, headlamps are recommended. Water is very cold in September but we wore swimsuits and were ok. Water shoes or crocks and a change of clothes recommended. You need to crouch in some areas, so the water was up to my chest but still max. 2.5 ft deep. Once in, it's not far until the end. It's a unique experience that doesn't disappoint. Surrounded by clean beaches with picnic and children's play areas, and a volley ball court.
Beautiful trail to the Lusk cave. It’s about 5 km hike from Patent Beach.

If you’re looking for a heart-pounding, once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Great Canadian Bungee is the place to be! The staff are incredibly professional, making sure you feel safe and confident before your jump. The setting is breathtaking, surrounded by cliffs and a beautiful turquoise lagoon — you honestly couldn’t ask for a more stunning backdrop for a bungee experience. The adrenaline rush as you take the plunge is unreal — it’s a mix of fear, excitement, and pure freedom all at once. Even if you’re nervous, the team’s encouragement makes it so much easier to take that leap. Highly recommend adding this to your bucket list if you’re in Canada! Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just want to conquer a fear, Great Canadian Bungee is an experience you’ll remember forever.
Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They jump master and his assistant were great I'm very pleased to talk to you and even better at convincing you to jump. Lol I would highly recommend this place for your first time jump or your 20th jump.
If you’re looking for a fun, nerve-shattering yet extraordinary experience, and you’re not afraid to squeeze the most out of what life offers, you absolutely have to visit Great Canadian Bungee in Chelsea, Quebec, for an adventure you’ll never forget. My boyfriend and I love trying new things — extreme or not. But can you imagine standing 60 meters above the ground, knowing you’re about to dive into the air from that height? Luckily, the team was incredibly supportive, joking around and creating a safe, cheerful atmosphere. Even at that height, with their encouragement, we were in for a smooth, unforgettable jump. And then… the moment came — a flawless leap that lasted only seconds but felt like forever. The rest? Well, you’ll just have to try it for yourself.
This was a 100% awesome experience. It’s pretty close to Ottawa by Canada standards and the closest *safe* jump to Boston. I ended up doing the water dip and I think that just made everything just 10x better. I’d also recommend the zip line. The wait time was minimal. I reserved my spot in advance, but it seemed like it was a sort of light day. I have glasses and so for the bungee jump I had to go blind so to speak, but if you bring a strap for them you can use the zip line with your glasses. Sort of a bummer, but it did cure my worries about losing my glasses haha. The staff are super nice!!!
This was the most amazing experience! I will never forget this, the staff was so fantastic too and made me pumped up and ready for my big moment. I definitely recommend jumping here! And do the water dip!!!
The place was gorgeous. It was fun, but I waited for over 3 hours. I'm not sure why, but I think they messed up our time and put another group ahead of us. I still recommend it, though.
It was a good experience overall. Only small downsides; they don’t have a proper washroom, just blue bins that don’t have sinks. They don’t have lockers, so you must put everything in your car and give your car key to reception. The small hike up to the Zipline and Bungee jumping is a bit too much under 32 degrees heat with a 10 kg harness that you have to carry on your own. The camera footages are not guaranteed and they don’t have good quality either, if you don’t have a friend waiting for you, you might end up with no memories.
An unforgettable rush! The staff were amazing, the jump was pure adrenaline, and the quarry setting is absolutely stunning. A must-do adventure in Canada!

It has beautiful scenery, a great relaxation spot and plenty of activities for adults and kids. After a long walk around the Pink Lake Trail, I visited, and it was a charming experience. The outdoor space was clean with a lovely ambience, and the meal tasted good. This spot is also pet-friendly. In addition to the bistro, there's a mini golf ⛳, a kids' play area, and an ice cream shop. Plenty of FOC parking is also available on site.
What a fabulous 18-hole mini putt! Gorgeous landscape with many water features. One would think that you’re in the Caribbean. So surprised not to see crowds in here, but it is a weekday afternoon game after all. Guess they’re coming tonight. The restaurant is very reasonably priced and a very varied menu. We quite enjoyed the veggie burger and fish and chips. And what can I say about the ice cream treats except “delicious”. Even a super fun jungle gym for the kids.
What an amazing evening at Dunnd’s Mini Golf in Chelsea! ⛳️ We enjoyed 18 holes of pure fun in great company and couldn’t have asked for a better setting. Our group had the privilege of having the entire course to ourselves for a special event organized by the Comité Relève of the Gatineau Chamber of Commerce, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The course itself is beautifully designed — creative, challenging in just the right ways, and perfectly maintained. Each hole brings a little surprise, keeping the energy high and the laughs constant. Whether you’re competitive or just in it for the fun, it’s an activity everyone can enjoy. After playing, we gathered in their modern, stylish indoor space, which was the perfect spot to relax, chat, and network. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and ideal for connecting with fellow professionals. A huge thank-you to the Dunnd’s team for their hospitality and attention to detail — everything ran smoothly, and the experience was top-notch. Highly recommend this spot for team outings, social events, or just a fun day with friends! Can’t wait to go back! 💚⛳️
We visited Dunnd’s Village three times this summer, and each time was a wonderful experience. The location offers beautiful scenery, and the variety of food and drinks is impressive, both in taste and price. It’s an ideal spot for a family day out, with plenty for kids to do, from playing on the structures and trampoline to joining you in the well-designed 18-hole mini-golf course. The outdoor bistro bar is a lovely place to enjoy a meal while taking in the stunning greenery that surrounds the area. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable.
Very unique mini putting place with nice waterfalls and streams of water. 18 holes total. Fun to go with family.
What a lovely spot for the family to spend time here.. I love the idea of having a restaurant along side of entertainment for the kids. Wish there were more of these in Ottawa area. We had kids ranging from 13-1.5 , all 9 of them had a blast.. food was ok nothing special, but we really enjoyed the relaxed vibes and kids were going around from one play space to another freely while having a great time
Really great place for a fun family activity. Very clean, beautiful and well organized. Truly enjoyed our day at Dunnd's
Love the play jungle for my kids! It's always clean, and well maintained, and I believe they are expanding it for next summer. Our kids play here for hours and their food is great, but also reasonably priced. Staff are always friendly as well and there is always ample parking. Could not recommend this place enough. Also the entire kids area is fenced in, so my child who likes to run off and elope can't and it makes me rest at ease that my kid can play safely.

We did the hike from Parking 11, which was a little over 3 km, and I definitely recommend it! It’s a great option for a quick hike, taking about an hour to complete. Make sure to wear good hiking shoes, though, as there are some rocky spots and a few uphill sections. It’s such a cool hidden gem—such an interesting and unique place to explore. We absolutely loved it and thought it was a great experience. Definitely worth checking out!
Location: although Gatineau Park does not have effective road signs, Google Maps has saved me several times in this maze of a park. Fortunately the trails themselves have good maps and route markers. Using GPS and following the trails markers, it was easy to navigate everywhere and find the ruins. Parking: there is plenty of parking as this is a popular trail. The price is varied depending on how much time you need, but it will likely cost you between $11-15. Facilities: there are toilets at the entrance to the trail and everything is in good condition and well maintained. Aesthetics/ambience: some of the trail feels almost “too well maintained” as it feels more like a road than a hiking trail and I was concerned there might be vehicles passing by us, but I think it’s just a service road for park staff only. There are lots of trees and a beautiful stream, and we saw plenty of wildlife. The ruins of the dam, mill, and laboratory are really cool and are definitely the main attraction for visitors. Ease of hike: this is a very easy and family friendly hike. Not so easy that it isn’t worthwhile for veteran hikers- it’s very worthwhile.
A Hidden Gem Worth Exploring! Tucked away in Gatineau Park, the Carbide Willson Ruins are a peaceful and historic site surrounded by nature. The 3km hike is scenic and relatively easy, and the view at the end is truly rewarding—an abandoned stone lab beside a waterfall, full of history and charm. It’s a peaceful escape, ideal for photographers, nature lovers, or anyone wanting a break from the city buzz. Come prepared with proper shoes, water, and maybe a picnic. There are no facilities here—just you, the forest, and the echoes of a forgotten dream. Definitely worth adding to your Ottawa-Gatineau itinerary!
Great Gatineau Park hike if you only have a few hours. Low difficulty level and great for any age group. The ruines are great to experience as well and make for a great photo setting!
It was a fantastic hike, parked in lot 11 and walked. It is a bit of a distance for anyone who may not like to walk and a few steep hills that can be hard on the way back but if you enjoy hiking it is most certainly worth the view when you get to it!
This property was beautiful and worth the hike. We even saw a black bear during our visit a few years ago. Listening to the waterfall flowing through the mill is wonderful. We went during the fall.
Visited Carbide Wilson Ruins in Gatineau Park on 12th July 2025! We parked at P11 (O’Brien Beach, near Meech Lake). In summer the parking can be a little busy, but if you wait a bit, spots usually free up as people come and go. The fee is $2.75 CAD per hour (max $15). There are also restrooms and change rooms available at P11, which is very convenient. The hike is a short and pleasant one — about 3.25 km round trip on Trail 36, which takes roughly 1.5 hours at an easy pace. Along the way, the forest path is scenic, and at the end you reach the historic Carbide Wilson Ruins with a beautiful waterfall. It’s a great spot for photos and to spend time with friends or family. Nearby is O’Brien Beach, where you’ll see lots of people swimming and boating in the summer — perfect if you want to combine the hike with some time by the lake. Overall, this is a must-visit spot in Gatineau Park.
The falls were closed on our visit. From the trail, there is no notification/sign of the Falls/Ruins closure until you get all the way to a closed fence at the path. We, and many others travelled over an hour to arrive to a shut gate.

Awesome place! The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable. The coffee is absolutely AMAZING! (seriously, it is really good). I highly suggest the latte for two if you are in the mood to sit a little while and enjoy. Oh yeah, and there are cats! The cats are really cute, and the best part is that they are hypoallergenic, so you can enjoy them even if you are allergic to cats. They all have their own personalities and will sometimes let you pet them, and sometimes not (cats will be cats). They will even sometimes jump up in your lap. Definitely worth a visit.
Nice and cosy place to study or read and at the same time play with cats when they are not too busy sleeping or ignoring you. They have a good selection of tea and coffee and many other stuff
Very interesting place. They have many cats but they aren't too friendly. The coffee was very good. As you drink your coffee there's cats climbing next to you or under your table sniffing around. However, rarely do they approach you and stay if you attempt to pet them.
Nice place, unique concept with cats roaming in the room where hot chocolate, coffee and teas are served. The hot chocolate was low in taste even though they seem to put a lot of effort into making it, and it took about 20 minutes for a party of 7 to get their drinks. It was busy at the time but the drinks were not worth the wait.
For cat lovers it's a must go. For everyone else, it's a cool spot. Great deck out back and comfy non cat areas. For cat lovers, there's a place set aside just for you. Tons of knick knacks, cat food, and other cat things are also available for purchase. Pride of ownership is clear.
Wonderful spot. I recommend trying to visit at slower times, such as midweek, if at all possible. The cats are more relaxed then, and the staff has time to be very helpful and informative. We've gone several times and the cafe itself is very good, even without the adorable cats.
The cats are cute, but they aren't very sociable, and you're not allowed to pick up the cats, so you end up just looking at them and calling in the hopes they'll come see you. The food and drinks are a little pricy and we were really excited for the hot chocolate based on their description, but it ended up being really watery.
Absolutely stellar café and staff. Very friendly and helpful. The cats, of course, are amazing. They also make one of the best flat whites around! Definitely check this place out if you're in Chelsea.

Always a very enjoyable time at Larrimac Golf Club. The golf course is always kept in great shape. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
This place in my opinion is a great disc golf course. Plenty of challenging baskets, access to a cart which makes the experience so much more enjoyable and a spectacular view. It needs to be mentioned though that the disc golf course definitely needs some TLC. Some of the starting points are hard to find, the signs are not intuitive, and the baskets have been not taken care of in a long time, sometimes crooked or just barely sticking out of the ground. I love to drive all the way out there for a game with the buds but it would be even more enjoyable if it were properly taken care of. All in all great experience.
Beautiful rolling disc golf course with a nice mix of par 3-5s. Mostly open looks and huge rips make for great drives and approaches. The steep hills will test your putting nerves. Golf carts available and I recommend not having to carry your bag!
Dog friendly, My puppy spent his second birthday here. Everything was just perfect. Friendly staff and eager players.
Larrimac is a great course that is equal part challenging and scenic. The course is kept in fantastic condition and the greens are outstanding. It's a perfect 9 hole course to work on your game.
Great hidden gem in between Chelsea and Wakefield. Onsite bar and restaurant, and very reasonable membership fees both for golf and tennis.
A very good 9-holes golf course, very beautiful in autumn.
Great community-based club with a warm atmosphere. We played nine holes and then greens were very well kept. Staff in the clubhouse were very nice and we stopped by during their open house where they were giving our free hamburgers and hotdogs. For just $20 for nine holes, you can’t go wrong!

We got married at Vignoble de Chelsea on September 13, and it was truly the perfect day. This venue is such a hidden gem. absolutely beautiful and the ideal setting for our celebration. The food was outstanding. perfect temperature, generous portions, and everything came out so quickly. Our guests were blown away (and we even have chefs in the family who were seriously impressed!). A huge shout out to Ainsley, our incredible coordinator. She went above and beyond from start to finish. Letting us come by multiple times to see the space, helping with all of our specific requests, and on the wedding day itself making sure we always had food and a drink in hand (something we’ll never forget!). Her care and attention made everything run so smoothly. We are so grateful to Vignoble de Chelsea for giving us such a memorable experience and a day we’ll cherish forever. If you are considering this place for your wedding, do not second guess it.
My husband and I got married at Le Vignoble this July! We absolutely loved it as our venue. My Catering Group recently bought the property and landscaped a brand new beautiful ceremony area tucked around the side of the building for privacy. The food was delicious and the service staff was incredible. The owner Derek was involved with us throughout the process, as well as our event coordinator Ainsley who was provided to us through My Catering Group. They were both helpful and accommodating. We don't have enough great things to say about this as a wedding venue - our pictures in the field and among the vines were also beautiful! They have just renovated a lovely house on the property too (available at an additional cost) which was very helpful as we had family rent it out and stay there - just steps away from the venue, it was very convenient. It would also be a great place for the wedding party to get ready in the morning.
The space is beautiful and newly renovated, but what really stands out is the food! This venue was recently purchased by a catering company, and it's obvious that their passion for food and hospitality is what defines their business. I loved the farm-to-table approach and the family-style food service. They even have bee hives and a sugar shack on the property!
What a wonderful place to hold a corporate event or special occasion. The views are wonderful; the food outstanding; the staff welcoming. I couldn’t recommend this venue more highly !
Dietary restrictions are treated with care and respect. Our group includes several with various dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, gluten sensitive, celiac, dairy, egg, nut allergy). All staff were knowledgeable about accommodations, which were a priority rather than an afterthought. Derek and his team provide spectacular food and exceptional service in a beautiful setting. Un grand merci !
Such a beautiful space and venue. Proximity to the city is amazing with the highway 5 being right there!

Excellent services. Provided professional instructions before let us get into the lake. Favorable rate ($20 for 3 hours for this season). The paddles and boards are super clean. And the lady is so kind and dropped my ID to my mailbox after I found I forgot it at the site.
I first tried paddleboarding and practicing yoga on it with Paddlefit last year. I fell in love with these activities and bought my own board this year to take advantage of their unlimited summer package. Paddlefit has given me the confidence and skills to feel safe on my paddleboard and have fun on the water. Their instructors are super knowledgeable, professional and kind. If you have never experienced an introduction to SUP or a SUP Yoga class, now is the time! Karine, Anna, Jodi and Penelope are amazing and I highly recommend them! As a bonus, you can rent a paddleboard from them to go chill on the lake with your friends who don't have a SUP (yet)!
They have an amazing service. The guys there was very friendly and knowledgeable, so you park at their very unique spot (blue bus and a volley ball net) then they help you set up a paddle carrier on top of ur ace, very easy and they give you instructions on how to set up the paddle themselves once you arrive at locations. We took the 4 hrs deal and you need a life jacket for 5$ extra.. the 4 hrs is 30$ plus tax! Then you drive to meech lake which is 15 minutes away! My oh my the most beautiful location to paddle.. very serene and calm, lovely scenery we really enjoyed every bit of this adventure!
I have had an amazing experience with Paddlefit this summer. My friend and I rent SUPs after work, and spend 2-3 hours on Lac Meech in the evenings. Jodie and crew are incredibly friendly and accommodating - the pick up and drop off is always easy, and the boards are in great shape. We're really glad that we discovered Jodie's shop :)
Incredible experience! Whether you want to rent a board, refine your SUP skills with their classes, or bring your own board to a sunset yoga class on the water, Paddlefit has you covered.
I've used paddle fits several times to rent paddle boards and have always had a fantastic experience. I never reserve and they always have equipment for me and it is always quick to get it out onto the water. I rented paddle board paddle life jacket and I also said yes to the insurance and the total including tax was about 35 for an hour. I would definitely recommend anyone interested in renting a paddle board to use paddle fit.
I thought I knew a lot about paddle boarding until I started my certification training with Paddlefit. The whole team was very knowledgeable, generous and down-to-earth. The training was rigorous, and the weather was not ideal, but the 3 days flew by so fast! I am honored and proud to have been trained by the best in the industry and I highly recommend Paddlefit to anyone that wants to up their game and/or knowledge on paddle boarding. Thank you Jodi, Karine & Courtney for the unforgettable experience.
The yoga program is really fun. I love that the classes move around a bit throughout Ottawa/Gatineau, it helps you to discover new places to paddle. The courses are very relaxed, and the instructors are very friendly. A great way to get on the water!

Very well kept mini Putt. Amazing patio and play structure. Ordered food and drinks at the patio and we were pleasantly surprised. Far better food than we were expecting. Will definitely be returning.
Great place for kids to play and have fun while the adults enjoy refreshing drinks and enjoy the changing color of the fall leaves.
Very very nice mini put course with a bar and concession. Worth the drive from ottawa.
My family love this place, especially in fall time. Colorfully, bright, pleasure music and environment, nice service and food. Wonderful pastime with family and friends;)
Minigolf course has some fun and challenging holes, beautiful setting with a fountain and waterfall, very calming and nice to look around while you're waiting for your turn. A couple of holes have the potential to get your ball stuck under some overhangs, and of course mine did so I had to crawl around to get it out, a bit annoying. Other than that, great and clean place. Every time we go by seems to be busy, recommend going on off days.
The course is very well maintained and is both challenging for the more advanced golfer but short enough so that it's enjoyable by beginners. It was a great place to go with friends and enjoy a quick round of par 3 golf!
Nice mini golf but on the pricey side. They forgot my food order but made up for it by giving me two pints of beer
Very nice 18 hole, par 3 course. Only negative is that there are no bunkers on any of the holes. Greens are in great shape. Not very busy when I went. 20$ for 18 holes is a good deal.

Awesome store with beautifully curated vintage clothes and household items!
We decided to go here to look around for something to do. They have so many homemade candles to choose from. Some of the stuff to look at included: leather purses, key chains, wallets, hemp products, Fanny packs, bracelets. Something for everyone. I enjoyed my stay.
Friendly staff, decent beer, pizza, candles and intimate music venue.
Interesting place! The coolest handmade candles.. amazing scents and designs! The owner and employees are all fabulous too. Stop in and have a look around, learn how these unique pieces of art are made!
Authentic candles, great atmosphere and super customer service! Their candles are all hand-made and unique. They also have candle holders, leather and ironwork, soaps and oils. Lovely place!
Great little shop! I loved seeing the works in progress in the back of the shop. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, very clear covid policies. The candles themselves are impressive, be prepared for premium prices. A well-deserved 5 stars!
Very cool, amazing gift idea!! They can even refill candles (if you don't live too far) and I think that's awesome! Didn't actually buy a candle as I didn't have my wallet last time I was around so I have no product info. Customer service was great, pricing wasn't bad when you consider they are an independent company (I'm pretty sure) and the quality and designs on the candles were some of the most unique things I ever seen! Definitely pop in and check it out when in the area.
My experience was awesome! Folks are very friendly and helpful. They have an amazing selection of high quality candles, wonderful scented selections in addition to all kinds of holders. This place is truly a small gem of Old Chelsea. I highly recommend a visit. We walked out of there with several, makes a wonderful one of a kind gift. I’m sure to go back in the future.
