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.

Swim, Swam, Swum

We are often told that there is something magical about the waters of Lake of Bays.

Something healing. Something that just soothes the soul.

That's why we encourage the Marathon Swim every Thursday morning.

That island out there? That's 1.6 km. from our shore. (Taffy offers some encouragement to Kristin on the way out)

We had a fine looking group for the distance swim -- Alice, Chris, Kristin, Andrew and Laura made it all look easy!

It's great when we have plenty of support boats -- some to watch, some to cheer, and all to ensure that no swimmer is way out there alone.

The water was almost 23 degrees C. Smooth, inviting, and so refreshing. What a wonderful way to start the day!

Our Marathon Swims are part of a very long-standing Bondi Tradition, and definitely something to cheer about!

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.
