Bondi Resort Blog

Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

Holly the Wonder Poodle


Holly will be 16 on November 2nd. That's quite an age for a standard poodle. She has been the perfect resort dog for all those years. This summer she had to spend a lot of time wearing a cone on her head -- what's called a Buster Collar. That was so she would stop worrying at a fly bite on her leg -- we can relate to how itchy those can be! She wore her collar with stoic indifference, even when she was 'helping' out in the support boat for the Island swim. We joked that when she held her head just right, she could pick up transmissions from the CBC... and that she could hire herself out to the SETI project. Holly took all that teasing with good grace.

While much of the summer was 'coneless', lots of it involved wearing the cone at least part time. This summer, her cone was completely covered with signatures and 'get well' wishes.



Out of the collar, she shared a joke with Esmee -- one of our favourite photos of all time!

She's happy to report to all her firends that she is now officially CONE FREE -- and with fly season well behind us, we're hoping she can stay that way! Although she is slowing down, she still loves going for slow walks in the woods, and just hanging out with our guests, enjoying the company.
