Kia Ora, hello, I have been living in Queenstown since January 2018, however my attachment to Queenstown started over 15 years back on my first visit here while I was working with Tourism New Zealand. Autumn is my favourite time of the year when everything around town turns green and gold! I love the trails around town and try to get out on walks with my three year old son as often as I can. Please do feel free contact me for any information you need about Queenstown for your clients.

As a born-and-bred proud Kiwi living in Melbourne, I consider myself truly blessed to represent the most spectacular part of NZ. Although I travel to Queenstown many times each year, flying in over the Southern Alps and experiencing the extraordinary sight of the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding countryside from the air never fails to take my breath away, whatever time of year. This is something everyone should experience in their lifetime. I would love to assist with making this a reality so please contact me for help with your event.

I have been very lucky to call Queenstown home for the last 8 years. I am very grateful to travel frequently for work and also get to enjoy this amazing lifestyle here. In my spare time, I love taking my miniature dachshund Rocky for a walk or a bike ride around Queenstown. I also love playing golf as well as enjoying a glass of Central Otago pinot noir at 19th hole. I look forward to meeting you and sharing my local knowledge.

I feel very lucky to be able to say that I grew up in Queenstown, the adventure capital, with walking and cycle trails, parks and ski fields right here on our doorstep. I love the distinct four seasons that we get in Queenstown, you will find me skiing in winter and spending time at the lake in summer. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about Queenstown and I will look forward to helping you with any queries that you may have.
