Reviews for Southern Ocean Lodge
One of the top rated Baillie Lodges
We still could smell the fresh carpet when we stayed there in Sept 24 since it’s reopening in Dec 23. We stayed at Remarkable Suite, plenty of space for the 4 of us. As we have come to expect from our previous stays at Baillie Lodges, the experience was outstanding in every way. The location, the quality of the lodge, attention to detail, everything we could possibly wish for had been thought of - - but most of all, the staff. In particular, the wonderful young people who took us on experiences - and especially Maddie and Kathleen - so knowledgeable, thoughtful, and delightful - they really made the experience so special for us. We love fine dining but after four days of multiple courses and wines each meal, I was ready just to have salad for a change.

Amazing high-end hotel with super views.
Exceptional. There isn't much else to say about this lodge .. and that is using the term loosely. Everything was amazing. The food was gourmet, the rooms were beautiful and had amazing views, service was always friendly. We stayed there three nights and it was lovely. To walk around the beach and rocks is like another private world. The Inn is totally secluded so you will need your own transportation to visit anything. The hotel does arrange tours which are always on time and are all fun and well organized. Service in the restaurant was on point. We have to give special mention to two Canadian servers, both of whom were always so friendly and helpful. They were truly amazing. So much so that upon our departure we gave each of them a special tip, which we rarely do.

A bespoke and gourmet nature experience
Everything about this experience was seamless, from the initial airport transfer all the way through to the lodge’s private airline lounge (at the small KI airport) at departure. The lodge is perched on a hill. When you first arrive, there are simply views from everywhere. You can see amazing and unique vegetation from the driveway and entrance, and once you actually enter the lodge there are coastal and beach vistas from everywhere window. The food and service are amazing. The three-course menu for lunch and dinner is a great example of fine dining and the wine and spirits on offer really are impressive. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The activities are lots of fun and the guides are great. There’s something for everyone - from seeing seals up close, to exploring an underground cave and even longer walks / hikes if you’re up for that. All in all the experience is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and remoteness coupled with the finer things

I was so disappointed with management.
They only allowed positive reviews. I hope the new hotel are more accommodating to their guests. We were actually moved from our room because a favored guest wanted her friends nearby. The food was less than adequate. I hope their new place is kinder and more considerate. They knew I was less than happy and I could tell they were waiting for my negative review which I did not write. I hope they checked everyday to write their negative reasons we were not to be believed. I know the hotel was burned to the ground. Yes, I did smile. As I am writing this review a decade or two later.

Incredible
This place is amazing ! The location is remote, pristine and incredibly beautiful. The staff was friendly and very attentive. They truly make this place what it is. The food choices and quality were perfect. The rooms are fantastic - you might never want to leave your room. The views are insane. You can spend all day just staring at the ocean and daydreaming . We went for long walks along the beach and it seemed different each time we walked. We saw a large school of dolphins patrolling the shore and there is a magnificent Osprey with a huge nest near the shore. The hiking trails are great and are easy for all levels of hiker. Everything was included : tours , e-bikes, food & snacks and there is a huge variety of wines and liquors. The fridge in our room was well stocked and refilled each day. What an incredible experience. If you are looking for a very special experience with a small amount of people the Southern Ocean Lodge is for you.
