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.

Local Colour



Darla, from Soapstones, on Brunel St. in Huntsville, has the best soap anywhere. Really... There is always a bar or two of her product in my bathroom. (her lilac scented soap is what gets me through the darkest winter drearies!)
I ran into her today at the Water Festival at Rivermill Park. She had gamely submitted to facepainting by the crowd next door, and had a lot of product on display. Her soaps are biodegradable, environmentally friendly. And, in case you need to know, Soapstones has provided all the soap for the G8 delegates.
If you are one of that crowd that need to know just what soap Harper, Obama, Sarcozy and the rest of them are using to bath their bits, well... now you know!
Just one booth over from Darla was Ken. He's the force behind Springhill Freshwater. It' another company located right here in Huntsville. He's heading to Toronto, where he will be providing water at the Muskoka Alley display, promoting Muskoka Water, and Savour Muskoka, to the several thousand journalists who are meandering about . It's a wonderful opportunity. As he says, "you might as well get on board and get excited about it, because it's coming, it's here, it's happening, and it's the biggest thing I've ever been involved in."
The bottle he's holding is still under wraps -- so I make no apology for the photo not being as crystal clear as the water in the bottle. It is the showcase bottled water that will be provided to the G8 delegates.
Just imagine... after a long hard day of saving the planet, the World leaders will be able to lounge in a tub full of Soapstone bubbles, (we hope in separate tubs...) sipping a long tall cool one from Springhill Freshwater. AND enjoying the view of a real Muskoka lake... it doesn't get much better.
