Introducing LYS – A New Chapter in Culinary Creativity

At Lily Pond Country Lodge, every detail tells a story — of nature, creativity, and connection. Today, we’re proud to introduce a beautiful new chapter in our dining experience: LYS, the name now given to our restaurant.

Derived from the French word for lily, LYS embodies the serene elegance of our surroundings — where the tranquil ponds reflect the lilies that inspired our name. Just as the petals of a lily unfold, so too does this new era of flavour, passion, and artistry in our kitchen.

At the heart of LYS is our new Head Chef, Megan, whose creativity and love for food align perfectly with Lily Pond’s philosophy of mindful, sensory travel. Megan brings a fresh perspective shaped by her deep respect for local ingredients and global inspiration. Her menus change daily, guided by what’s seasonal, beautiful, and delicious — celebrating both simplicity and sophistication.

Expect dishes that balance colour and texture, flavour and story. Whether you’re enjoying a slow breakfast overlooking the lily ponds, or an evening dinner under a canopy of forest stars, every plate at LYS reflects our connection to nature and the art of slow living.

LYS isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a reflection of who we are: elegant yet unpretentious, inspired yet grounded. A place to savour each moment.

We invite you to experience LYS — where nature and nourishment come beautifully together.
