Sense of place
A stay with Baillie Lodges offers guests a genuine connection with the destination, its landscape, wildlife and community. Each lodge is designed as a wholly sensory experience, a union of sights, scents and tastes that immerses guests in their surrounds and the spirit of the destination.
Architecture
Ever sensitive to the precious landscapes in which they reside, each property in the Baillie Lodges portfolio celebrates sustainable architecture and interior design with clean lines, locally sourced or inspired furnishings and contemporary interiors in Baillie Lodges’ recognisable signature style.
Design
A commitment to commissioning local designers, makers and artisans and using local products and materials creates a unique sense of place. Together the lodges carry a ‘Baillie’ feel of organic luxury with a destination focus. A feeling of relaxed sophistication flows throughout and the lodges are a place to feel at home.
Destination
An essential element of all the Baillie Lodges properties is that each lodge is located in a destination of unique natural and cultural significance, often included in World Heritage-listed areas, or bordering national and marine parks. Each luxury lodge is designed to allow the outside in, affording guests a seamless experience of the destination.
Dining
The Baillie Lodges culinary philosophy drives a daily-changing menu where local, in-season ingredients are delivered in an unforgettable dining experience to share a real taste of the destination. Guests are invited to enjoy the lodges as their home away from home, where the drinks flow easily, and the welcome is warm.
Experiences
Each lodge offers a gateway to its extraordinary destination, from a personal experience of its culture, history and natural heritage to an up-close encounter with its wildlife. Guest itineraries are tailor-made, creating a lasting connection with the destination and time to reconnect with the people and places that matter most.
Service
Baillie Lodges service style is defined by generous hospitality and an effortless attention to detail. Renowned for their relaxed and friendly first-name service, our team go above and beyond and are giving of their time and knowledge. Often, it is the conversations between guests and team members that endure after the stay.
Sustainability
Baillie Lodges takes a proactive approach to the sustainable management of each property, using advanced and emerging technologies and working with local National Parks and natural sanctuaries to ensure the initiatives are both innovative and in line with the region’s broader conservation activity. The journey never ends.
Community
Baillie Lodges actively engages with the communities in each lodge location, establishing supplier relationships with regional food and beverage producers, tour operators, artists and designers as well as supporting education initiatives and community events, an approach championed by Baillie Lodges’ Spirit of Mateship initiative.
