Frequently Asked Questions

As of December 2021, Wander no longer allows dogs or other pets on the property. During our initial months of operation, we came to understand that welcoming animals—while something we love in spirit—made it too challenging to uphold the high standards, safety, and core values we strive to maintain across the resort.

That said, we do make accommodations for registered service animals, in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). This includes:

Seeing eye dogs and vested, registered service animals with valid documentation

These service animals are permitted on site with advance notice and pending approval by management. This process ensures that we can provide a comfortable and safe environment for all guests, including those who may have allergies or sensitivities.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to create a relaxing, welcoming, and worry-free environment for everyone at Wander.

Yes! In fact, winter is when Nordic spas truly shine. The contrast between hot, cold, and rest makes the thermotherapy circuit even more invigorating in cooler weather. It’s a tradition rooted in colder Nordic climates, and it’s one of the reasons these experiences have become so beloved in Canada.
