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.

Top Models, All of Them!


Our guests take the most extraordinary photographs while they are visiting us. Of course, we do our best to provide wonderful subjects, with outstanding backdrops and interesting lighting effects. Our wildlife are all instructed to 'work it' for the camera (although not all of them are good at following instructions, and many of them just can't past their camera shyness)

Sue enters her local horticultural society photo contests every year, and every year she submits pictures taken at Bondi.



This year, she won Frist Place in the category of Still Life, with one of her hummingbird close ups. As she points out, it is Life... and at least briefly, it is still. We agree. You can see the tiny bird's tongue still protruding from her beak in this shot.


She also won an award for a picture she took of a bumblebee in the hollyhocks, completely covered with pollen. The bee is pushing the pollen in the pollen sacs on the abdomen, to help carry some of it back to the hive.



She didn't win an award for the chipmunk robbing the birdfeeder, but we don't know why... we think it's great! But the chipmunk harbours no hard feelings, and has offered to pose again for her, anytime!
