Cosset yourself among antiques, crackling open fires and chintz comfort with French windows and lawns to the sea. Spend an idle moment in your teak steamer chair on the veranda, gazing at soaring eagles, the resident Osprey, beached seals or the occasional passing moose or grizzly.

Rosy-cheeked from a day in the northern sun and wind, your favourite tipple, and the hilarious conversations around the cheerful crackling library fire, you rise to the call for dinner. Aromas of eastern spices, garlic and herbs, have teased you since you returned from the day's adventure, and now you have the appetite for a stupendous Minette Bay Lodge dinner. The croquet players, and those down on the foreshore have come to the table, and the sound of popping corks and the sight of the spread before you whet your appetite. As always, the tables groan with choices and a memorable meal is enjoyed by all.

After dinner it's back to the fireside for a nightcap with your fellow guests from around the world, or a quiet contemplation of the fading sunset from the verandah before you succumb to the promise of your feather bed. Not even the hooting of the Bay's resident great grey owl will wake you tonight.
