The Luxury Travel Bible - Baillie Lodges

Baillie Lodges

	The Group: Baillie Lodges is a collection of premium contemporary accommodation in locations of natural or cultural significance. This innovative collection 'aims to set new benchmarks for premium experiential travel in a unique Australian style'. Capella Lodge on World Heritage listed Lord Howe Island was the first property in the Baillie Lodge collection. Since then two other properties have been added to the collection. The intimate properties all offer guests luxury accommodation, gourmet dining and spa treatments that will indulge body and soul. Baillie Lodges want guests to enjoy the location's unique natural attractions and hotel staff will recommend activities and itineraries with experiences such as diving, snorkeling, kayaking and trips on glass-bottom boats available.	James and Hayley Baillie
	Baillie Lodges aim to develop a boutique portfolio of unique, contemporary, sustainable nature-based accommodation experiences. Their outstanding environmental credentials are well-demonstrated by past projects either within, or bordering, World Heritage listed national and marine parks
	The List: Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island, Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island
	The Creators: Baillie Lodges was founded in 2003 by the warm, friendly and committed James and Hayley Baillie. James, founding director of P&O Australian Resorts, was instrumental in the development and operation of many of Australia's icon natural destinations, including Lizard Island, Cradle Mountain Lodge, Heron Island and Silky Oaks Lodge. Hayley's background onboard the world's best expedition ships mean she brings a wealth of travel and guest service knowledge and experience. Her father, adventurer and businessman Dick Smith, is something of an Australian icon.
	New Hotels: Remarkable Lodge, Tasmania will open late 2011. Luxury Links: www.baillielodges.com.au
