Baillie Lodges, the collection of seven luxury lodges including the recently reopened Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, has launched a new initiative designed to offer mateship and connection to its regional community partners.
The Baillie Lodges Spirit of Mateship program is a new, ongoing initiative for the collection of luxury lodges to raise funds for nominated community, health, education and conservation organisations in each of the
lodge’s locations.
As part of the program, Baillie Lodges will auction three-night stays at each lodge, with all proceeds from the winning bids pooled and divided equally amongst the seven chosen community organisations. The initiative will run biannually starting in February this year, offering guests a chance to contribute to the people and places in which they holiday.
Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation: Silky Oaks Lodge, Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest
Lord Howe Island Museum: Capella Lodge, Lord Howe Island
Greening Taupo: Huka Lodge, New Zealand
Redd Fish Restoration Society: Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, Vancouver Island.
The first Spirit of Mateship auction goes live at midday (AEDT) on 28 February 2024 and will remain open for five days. To join the auction, click here.
Craig Bradbery, Chief Operating Officer, Baillie Lodges said the company was grateful for the ongoing support of the broader community and was keen to share the properties’ successes with local associations to offer meaningful support.
“Over the decades, Aussies have become known for their mateship, for working together alongside our mates. The Baillie Lodges’ Spirit of Mateship program is designed to reflect just that sentiment and our commitment to working with the community ongoing,” Bradbery said.
