Errantry Lodge is a photography-themed guesthouse — lenses have always been part of how we tell our story.
Over the years, we've made a habit of roaming Hualien with a camera in hand. Drawn to the light weight of prime lenses and the refined, transparent image quality of Canon's L-series glass, we've gradually built up a small collection of L lenses that have traveled with us.
Now, we'd like to share that joy of shooting with travelers who want to get to know Hualien slowly.
Book directly on our website and stay two nights or more, and on the second day of your stay you can borrow a Canon L-series lens for free — take it into Hualien's mountains and sea, its lanes and fields, and turn your trip into a set of photos you'll never forget, seen through your own eyes.
Hualien has always been beautiful — it's just that everyone meets it differently. We hope this lens helps you find the frame that's yours alone.
Three Lenses, Each Suited to a Different Frame
| Lens | Character | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8L II USM | Wide-angle zoom | Mountain and sea landscapes, architecture, wide scenes |
| Canon EF 135mm f2L USM | Portrait classic | Your travel companion's smile, close-up portraits |
| Canon EF 300mm F4L IS USM | Telephoto prime | Whale watching, birds, distant detail |
A Camera Body Is Available Too
If you don't have your own camera, we also provide a Canon EOS 5D Mark II body free of charge, so the lens has something to attach to.
How to Reserve
This is a perk we offer travelers who book directly on our website and stay two nights or more — in keeping with something we've always believed: the best things should go to those who choose to reach us directly.
