The Tobermory Princess Hotel is one of the oldest buildings in the town
of Tobermory. Built around the turn of the century it operated as the
Matheson House Hotel. After various owners it was bought by Joe George
and operated as the George’n, an exclusive club to select Scuba Divers.
In 1992, under the new ownership of the Kritikos Family, this Tobermory
landmark was completely renovated to combine tradition with modern
facilities. In order to preserve the architectural heritage of the building, the
exterior has been restored to its original appearance.

Septic - We realize that there is an overwhelming amount of information about septic systems available to the general public and will help decipher the facts from the fiction. Unique to “Cottage Country” we have several clients that have never lived with a septic system before and some that have lived with it their whole lives but were a bit misinformed. We set out to provide not only the best possible service, but also the most up to date information. As locals, we know the Bruce Peninsula area very well. Not sure how often you should have your tank pumped out? Want to know what to expect when having your tank emptied? We’ve got the answers you need to these questions and more. Bruce Peninsula Septic Service is here to help with your questions and your septic needs.

Portable Toilets - Book by the day or for the entire summer. Our environmentally responsible “clean and green” sanitation service uses organic, biodegradable cleaning products. Foam hand sanitizer is standard in every unit. We also have accessible units.
