At Lily Pond Country Lodge, harmony is at the heart of everything we do — between people, nature, and the experiences we create for our guests. Today, we’re proud to celebrate a milestone that reflects both our spirit and our story: Lily Pond is now an all-female managed property.

Led by General Manager Bronwan Hutchinson, our management team brings together strength, compassion, and creativity in perfect balance. From the seamless guest experiences to the artfully curated spaces and menus, Lily Pond thrives under the guidance of remarkable women who share a deep passion for hospitality.

Our talented Head Chef, Megan, leads the culinary vision behind LYS, our newly named restaurant. Her food tells stories of place and season — thoughtful, nourishing, and inspired. Margret, co-owner and creative mind behind Lily Pond’s interior and landscape design, continues to shape the property’s timeless aesthetic — where elegance and nature live in harmony. Together with the broader team of women who keep Lily Pond warm and welcoming each day, they represent a shared dedication to excellence and authenticity.

This milestone isn’t just about gender — it’s about the qualities we celebrate: empathy, intuition, collaboration, and the ability to make guests feel at home.

At Lily Pond Country Lodge, we’re honoured to share this journey — one that celebrates women in leadership, the power of connection, and the beauty of doing things with heart.

Here’s to the women who make Lily Pond what it is — and to every guest who becomes part of our story.
