Travel Note
As close as possible to the old town of Niagara-on-the-Lake - NOT to be confused with the town of Niagara Falls (30 mins drive south), and although the river is pretty narrow it is still the border between Canada & the USA, so please make sure you're in Ontario and not New York. There are plenty of hotels, bed & breakfasts, inns, and house rentals in and around town, and something for every budget and group size. If possible, at least a few days in Niagara-on-the-Lake would be ideal, with a quick trip to the Falls to get out on the Hornblower Cruise (but not much more than that), bouncing between wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake (our favourite way to go is by bike with plenty of rental places), and enjoying the town and lakeshore.
