+64 3 441 0700 ext.213 sarahm@queenstownNZ.nzCreating unforgettable, unique experiences, and sharing them with others is what gets me out of bed in the morning. Originally from Dunedin, Queenstown was always a favourite holiday destination and once Queenstown gets under your skin, it’s hard to stay away! Some days you’ll find me exploring a new walking track, while others I’ll be reading by the lake or enjoying a long lunch at new eatery with friends. No two days are the same, and every day in Queenstown can be unforgettable. I look forward to helping you create your dream event so please be in touch.

+64 3 441 0700 ext. 218 rosew@queenstownNZ.nzOriginally Australia born but arriving on the shores of Queenstown in 1997, I consider myself a through and through kiwi, more importantly a Queenstown local. Growing up here your true appreciation for our beautiful home comes with age; often not realising how good we’ve got it! From skiing our amazing mountains, to swimming our blue lakes and exploring our hills, 26 years on I understand the just how lucky we are to call this home! I consider myself a part of Queenstown, and Queenstown a part of me. What better place to work than the one that helps share its wonder and stories with the world.

+64 20 4191 6773 jessl@queenstownNZ.nzOriginally from the Netherlands, I've lived in Queenstown for nearly 5 years now, having spent 2 years in Australia prior. What started out as a year of 'wanderlust', swiftly evolved to falling in love with the lifestyle on this side of the world and wanting to make this place my home. I enjoy warm summer days by the lake and spend my free time outside exploring different walking tracks, taking in the beautiful scenery of this town as well as going for brunch with friends. My passion lies in bringing event visions to life, so please reach out if you're interested in delving into Queenstown's unique offerings.

+64 22 412 6622 luisac@queenstownNZ.nzBorn and raised in the UK to Colombian parents. I arrived in New Zealand on a WHV and planned to stay in Queenstown for 3 months... Well, it has now been over 6 years, and I'm proud to call this beautiful place home. During winter you will find me snowboarding on one of our wonderful ski fields; during summer, I enjoy camping, exploring our walking tracks, going on bike rides with friends or flying off mountains (paragliding). If you would like to find out more about Queenstown, please feel free to get in touch.
Testimonial
“The Bureau provided our organisation with the necessary information to plan a successful conference. Having been briefed on our conceptual ideas the Bureau provided a list of tourism operators, their contacts details and assisted with arranging famils. Additional information on various local restaurants and wineries to meet the requirements of the delegates who operate high-end food and beverage facilities back in the US and deemed not to be missed met with universal approval.”
