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.

Pie are Not Square

It starts, every autum, with harvesting the green apples from the ancient tree near Wheelhouse. The tree was there when Grandmother Elizabeth Tapley settled here in 1905.  The trunk is almost totally decayed, the limbs are supported with props, but it still determinedly produces fruit every year.  Wonderful apples they are, too -- huge, green, wonky in shape and tart in flavour.
Ideal for pies.

The BMD (Bondi Maintenance Dept.), a.k.a. Dave and Mike, showed us that they are not just pretty maintenance geeks. They can cook, too!   Here they are whipping up an apple pie.

And a wonderful pie it was, too! Served with a slice of cheddar cheese and a dollop of ice cream... it was a little bit of historic Bondi heaven.

    I'm surprised the tree would still be standing after a century plus....
