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.

Here's a Cheer!









Every Thursday during the summer we take to the water. It's an escorted swim -- with varying distances on offer. The Point is 500 metres away. You can swim there, catch your breath, and swim back for the full 1 km. swim, or hitch a ride back if you are just at the beginning of a distance swim career.








Or you can swim back from the Island, which is a full 1.6 km (l mile) away.




Alice tells us the swim from the Island is her favourite part of her holiday. Shelley swims about that distance daily, but still never misses an Island swim.








Last week, we had twelve intrepid swimmers -- with the youngest being 12.




And while we always celebrate the accomplishment of the swimmers, young and old, we must never forget the folks that come out in their boats to make the swim a success. We feel you can never have too many boats along as escorts -- the swimmers will spread out across the lake, with the front swimmers back on the dock before the doggedly determined rearguard is halfway home. And that's just fine -- it is NOT a race.

So here's a cheer for all our great guests who come out early, and hang out on the water with us and the swimmers. We couldn't do it without you!
