Bondi Resort BLOG: Welcome home, Evelyn

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.

Welcome home, Evelyn

This is a landmark. This is the 50th summer that Evelyn has spent here with us at Bondi Village Resort.

We could not be more honoured.

We have so many memories tangled up with Evelyn, and Walter, and their children and grandchildren.

The year the Clan 'took over' the resort, and ran it for a day, answering phones, greeting customers... The For Sale signs had folks phoning up to ask if we'd really sold the place.

The year the banner went up overnight proclaiming a Free Nudist Weekend...

Trips to bring in hay, with Dave and Rob hanging off the top of the load of hay as we came through town.

The annual Williams' Family Picnic on the beach, larger every year as the kids and grandkids grow up...

Sue and Jim coming in the autumn for some very very private R&R.

There's more. Lots more. But we'd need too much space to capture it here...

Memories that tie families together through the good and the bad and everything in between.

Your family is our family, Evelyn. You are ours. And we could not be more honoured.

It's good for us to get outdoors.

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.
