Deerhurst Press Release

Deerhurst resort packs more summer Fun into great ontario breaks

$10 More Than Room Rates Includes Entertainment or Outdoor Recreation

HUNTSVILLE, ON., June 14, 2007 – Water and woods, food and fun.  This summer, beat the heat with a classic Muskoka getaway at Deerhurst Resort.  Only two hours from Toronto, this 800-acre lakeside retreat is offering two affordable Great Ontario Breaks.  Just $10 over regular room rates gets you a package filled with outdoor life or an exciting night worth $110.

“These Deerhurst offers fill summer travellers’ demand for fun, easy trips and real value,” remarked Joseph Klein, general manager.  “Day or night, our Great Ontario Breaks are an excellent way to save at least 15 percent while enjoying all the variety we’ve been known for since 1896.”

Deerhurst’s Great Outdoors package showcases Muskoka’s natural attractions with a backpack filled with lunch, hiking trail map and recommended picnic spots, plus complimentary canoe and mountain bike rentals.   It’s the ready-to-go way to explore around Peninsula Lake, the resort’s own extensive network of forest trails or even nearby Algonquin Park, a key source of inspiration for Canada’s famed Group of Seven artists.

Break-seekers who would rather pack dancing shoes than hiking boots can take their pick of two live shows with Deerhurst’s Great Escape.  Canada’s longest-running live stage production has a hot new vibe thanks to the choreographer from “Canadian Idol,” and a multi-talented cast who shake things up in the top-of-the-music-charts tribute CANADA ROCKS and AFTER HOURS, a show inspired by nightclub acts from around the world. 

The Great Escape package enhances show admission with $20 in Deerhurst Fun Bucks nightly, which can be used toward meals, spa, golf and water sports.  Both Great Ontario Breaks run from $135 per person/night (based on two nights in double occupancy), leaving you with plenty of free time, and money, to make the most of your time away.

For couples, romantic and relaxing options include the log cabin charm of Steamers restaurant, tucked next to the acclaimed Deerhurst Highlands golf course.  Families will appreciate North America’s only resort YMCA kids’ program with cool theme days like Pajama Party, Mediaeval or Mud Day, and Deerhurst’s new Splash Pass, where $15 a day means unlimited access to a variety of watercraft.
