A second stage in the property’s renovations will take place after the 2021 season, and include a significant refurbishment to the Cookhouse Restaurant, bar, and central guest facilities. Renowned for its range of exhilarating adventures as well as spa treatments and daily yoga, the new-look Clayoquot will feature an itinerary of signature experiences to showcase the natural highlights of Vancouver Island, and align it with the all-inclusive product profile of the existing Baillie Lodges properties.
General Manager Sarah Cruse will once again lead the team, and returning with her are many loyal Canadian staff members who know and love the property. Two of Baillie Lodges’ key staff members will also join the Clayoquot family next year, including Executive Chef Asher Blackford, formerly of sister property Southern Ocean Lodge, and Kate Hollick, formerly of Longitude 131˚, who will take up her role as Assistant General Manager in a very different wilderness setting.
Baillie Lodges’ Founders James and Hayley are thrilled to bring a world-renowned wilderness camp of Clayoquot’s calibre into the collection. “It’s a very natural fit for Clayoquot to be part of the Baillie Lodges family and will be the most remote and wild addition to the collection to date.” Baillie Lodges looks forward to bringing a new energy and spirit to an already special product, and to introducing our guests to exciting new itineraries in some of the world’s most remarkable destinations.
