From 1 April 2026 we’re proud to introduce our new management Rynhard & Natasja.

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.

Rynhard & Natasja, our management team bring together strength, compassion, and creativity in perfect balance. From the seamless guest experiences to the artfully curated spaces, Lily Pond thrives under the guidance of remarkable people who share a deep passion for hospitality.

Our talented Chef Lushai 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 who keep Lily Pond warm and welcoming each day, they represent a shared dedication to excellence.

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