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.

Sunsets, Smiles, Rainbows



After the cook-out Tuesday night, we got a sudden rainstorm. The sky lit up with a double rainbow -- as Kyle pointed out, with excitement, "That must mean something!" No doubt... It's an interesting aside on double rainbows, that the outer rainbow reverses the colours of the inner rainbow.
Judy was here, with Squeegee the pony, and she made the best of it by giving pony rides in the aisle of the stable.


Just as the adage goes, Hard Rain Short, Soft Rain Long, these sudden storms don't last long, and long before Judy had worked her way through the collection of excited youngsters, the storm had passed and she was back outside with the pony. Having come from the beach, nobody was really 'dressed' to ride, but being lead on Squeegee, who is in line for sainthood in the Pony Universe, does allow us some leeway... provided everyone has a helmet! We don't ever bend THAT rule -- you need to slap one on, every time, every ride.


Dave, cheerfully took a turn being "Pony for a Day" and pulling a packet of people in Squeegee's cart. The passengers in the 'Rickshaw' were shrieking with delight, and Dave got quite the cardio workout. Kyle also took a turn between the shafts, much to the delight of the passengers. He discovered that going downhill is much easier than coming back up!
And when the sun finally set, it left in a blaze of colour. And that, too, means something. Good weather coming!
