“Escaping reality on a wilderness adventure where the only way to access your lodge is by seaplane is a great way to switch off. The thrill of grizzly bear and whale watching leaves you speechless”

Bear watching & luxury glamping in British Columbia
British Columbia
Rooted so deeply in nature you’ll need a boat or a seaplane to reach it, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers spectacular glamping in beautiful British Columbia.
Nestled between mountain and river, many of the resort’s safari-style tents nudge the waterfront, furnished with antiques and all the glamour of the city, minus the urban chatter. Do whatever you want at whatever pace. Whether that’s fishing excursions and demanding hikes, or bear watching and white-water rafting amidst pristine views and the sounds of wildlife.
Come nightfall, venture to the dining lodge for meals doused in gastronomic flare, before jumping into the Jacuzzi with a night cap.

What I love most about my job is helping others make their travel dreams a reality! It may sound cheesy, but it really is true!
I started out back in 2002 & have enjoyed travels through South East Asia, the Pacific, Australia, USA, the UK & Europe!
After having my son just before our first Covid lockdown in 2020, I took a bit of a hiatus but came back to House of Travel in a support roll for the lovely Petra in April 2024.
Once a travel agent, always a travel agent!
Petra and I work together to weave these dreams for our lovely customers, and I look forward to helping you with yours too!

Hi, I'm Eilish – I have a love for exploring the world, with a soft spot
for Europe, Bali and youth travel.
I love putting together smooth, personalised travel plans, using my
organisational skills and fun, bubbly personality. Helping people turn their
dream holidays into reality, making sure every detail is just right.
In 2024, I was proud to be named a Contiki Champ, which was a personal
accomplishment with a brand I have tried and tested and love myself.
Whether it’s a group getaway or a solo journey, my goal is to help people
discover new destinations, create lasting memories, and feel confident while
exploring the world.
