Midland
bus station
is close to the waterfront on Bay Street, metres from Deluxe Taxi (tel 705/526-2217) and a couple of minutes' walk east of the
tourist office
, at the foot of King Street (June-Aug Mon-Fri 8.30am-5pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm; Sept-May Mon-Fri 9am-5pm; tel 705/526-7884). They have the details of local and regional
accommodation
- anything from cottage rental through to a handful of downtown
B&Bs
($40-60). Amongst the latter, two perfectly adequate and fairly central options are
Mark & Margie's B&B
, in a good-looking Victorian house with wrapround veranda at 670 Hugel Ave and 5th Street (tel 705/526-4441, fax 526-4426; $40-60); and the unusual
Little Lake B&B
, 669 Yonge St at 5th Street (tel 705/526-2750, fax 526-9005; $60-80), where the modern front part of the house leads to an older section at the back with high-beamed ceilings and park views. Yonge Street cuts across King about 600m south of the harbourfront. There are also several reasonably priced
motels
in and around town - the
Comfort Inn
, about 2km from the harbour at 980 King St and Hwy 12 (tel 705/526-2090; $80-100), is as good as any.
For
food
, the
Daily Perk
, 292 King St, serves first-class deli-style sandwiches and meals;
Midland Fish & Chips
, 311 King, does what it does rather well; and
Scully's Waterfront Grill
, by the town dock, is a popular, boisterous place with bar food. Other useful information
