Capella’s New Era

A Warm Welcome

As one chapter closes, another begins. We’re delighted to welcome Bridie Bush and Ryan Ward as Capella’s new lodge managers. Many guests will know Bridie and Ryan from their time at our sister lodges, including the legendary Huka Lodge in New Zealand and the extraordinary Longitude 131° at Uluru-Kata Tjuta. Together, they bring a wealth of experience, energy and warmth, and we know guests will feel instantly at home in their care.

Fresh Spaces to Enjoy

Our cool-season closure has given us time to reimagine some of Capella’s most-loved spaces. The iconic Gowers Terrace has been fully refreshed, making the most of its breathtaking views over the lagoon and mountains.

Highlights include:

• A new drinks ledge, the perfect perch for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.

• Expansive blackbutt decking with elegant banquettes for relaxed dining and lounging.

• Stylish new outdoor furnishings by Robert Plumb and Tribu, complemented by the much-loved turquoise Gervasoni cubes.

• A sparkling new Capella light installation, a tribute to our namesake constellation.

Each guest suite verandah has also been updated with fresh furnishings to echo the new look of the main terrace, creating serene outdoor spaces to relax and unwind. Join us for a first look at the reimagined Gowers Terrace by watching the reel linked here.

Adventure Awaits

For guests keen to explore, we’ve introduced a new fleet of 12 e-bikes along with mountain bikes, making it easier than ever to discover the wonders of our World Heritage-listed island.

See You Soon

From fresh spaces to new faces, there’s so much to look forward to at Capella Lodge this season. We can’t wait to share it all with you.

Warmest wishes,
James & Hayley Baillie
