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.

Take your Breath away



When sun shines on fresh snow, the effect is breathtakingly lovely.

Brian got the full effect of this. While he had the ski trails in great shape in October, the heavy fall of snow brought down branches and required clean up, so he has been spending a lot of time in the bush. The trails should be ready for our guests who are coming up for Christmas. We have a wonderful variety of ski trails, from gently rolling open fields, through our private spruce bog (where a moose was bedded down last week!) up onto the hardwood hills that offer a bigger challenge.

For winter watchers, we now can report that the bay is beginning to freeze. We follow this progress --in fact we have records of Ice In and Ice Out for our bay that stretch back for almost a century now!

Ice in means our last loons will be heading south. The Canada geese have left the lake. But there are those birds that stay year round. Snow means the chickadees and bluejays are coming back to the feeders, along with the woodpeckers and nuthatches.

It's easy to figure out from the tracks in the snow who your neighbours are.

And the sun in the trees, all sparkling, well, that just plain makes you feel good. And makes you reach for your camera, too.
