There's a warm welcome awaiting you in Manotick, a charming village on the Rideau River where old-fashioned, small-town service is alive and well! Located just 15 kilometres south of Ottawa, you'll find the best of rural and urban.

Enjoy a walking tour for a glimpse into the past. Don't forget Watson's Mill, one of the few remaining operating gristmills in Ontario, with its own tragic history and resident ghost. Treat yourself to a bag of fresh, stone-ground flour or feed the ducks!

Spend the afternoon strolling down streets adorned with flowerbeds and benches. Browse through the shops - quaint specialty boutiques, award-winning florists, galleries displaying the many internationally-recognized local artists, stylish, high-quality clothing & accessories - and relax in cheerful cafes, pubs and restaurants. You’ll enjoy our traditional rural warmth.
