I have enjoyed living in Picton for 33 years. My husband Rob and I own The Villa Backpackers Lodge on Auckland Street where we have a manager in place. We have raised two creative sons - an architect and a designer. We are empty nesters, love our lifestyle here and are passionate about Picton and the Marlborough Sounds. I enjoy spending time with Rob and our family including our two rescue puppies Pene and Pedro, along with friends, gardening, cooking, fishing, painting and being creative and supporting my husband’s passion for surfing adventures. My background in sales, hospitality and tourism ensures I am passionate about delivering the highest level of service. It is the small things and my attention to detail that my clients appreciate along with my enthusiasm and genuine desire to achieve nothing less than the best! Every client and every property has its unique aspects and challenges. I always provide clear communication and regular feedback so that I am fully accountable and the process is transparent and enjoyable for all involved. Treating people the way I would like to be treated is my philosophy and I believe doing business in an honest and fair manner is the only way business should be done. Whatever your property needs are, I welcome the opportunity to “work harder for you!”
