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.

Pump up the Jam


This hot weather has brought the garden on. Carol spends every moment she can out there, tinkering, weeding, picking, planning...


Right now, she's in the midst of a bumper crop of raspberries. Picked straight from the vines, at their very best, they have been transformed into lovely dark red raspberry jam to cheer the table through the winter to come.


That's the thing about gardens. Just as looking at the Stars when we go out to see the constellations is like looking into a time machine of times past (since it takes so many light years before we see the stars, lots can have happened out there and we won't know about it for ages to come), gardens let us look forward in the time machine to future menus. Turning today's harvest into jams, jellies, preserves, pickles and frozen veggies, gardeners and cooks let us keep summer's bounty on our tables through many a season yet to come.


Right now, we're selling the freshest, tastiest beans you've ever held on your tongue. Plenty of lettuce, herbs, onions and other vegetables are showing up on our guests' tables. With free range eggs, of course! The corn is not far away from our dinner plates, either!
