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.

In the Eye of the Beholder

snow fence, rolled up and waiting

More years ago than any of us care to count, we had a family that came and stayed almost all summer, year after year. As this family grew, they needed a bigger cottage.

hard to believe this was Christmas! Looks like October!

So Paul built them one. With four bedrooms. We named it for them -- the Long family, and so Longside was born.

Don and Jayne, their son Evan, daughter-in-law Tonya and grand-daughter Clover came to stay for four days over Christmas this year. Don has an eye for a photograph that is seldom equalled, and he was kind enough to share some of his holiday photos with us. Here they are for you to enjoy! Thanks Don!

Napster Art

We are very proud of Napster, our tail-painting cat, who uses his lovely artwork to raise money for charities. This lovely little creature passed away July 2015, but left a huge legacy, having raised over $12,000 for various charities through the sale of his artwork. That artwork, through prints and notecards, is still available.
Click here to visit Napster's Blog and visit the gallery of his tail-paintings.

Now sold around the world, he was honoured to have his artwork sold around the globe -- he even has a print with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
