Welcome to Queenstown and our new home! This is our dream job and giving you a special Kiwi hosting experience is very important to us!
We love entertaining, have always loved cooking and sharing times with friends and family

We competed in the first My Kitchen Rules New Zealand in 2014 and loved the experience and time together so we decided to take the plunge and jump with both feet into new lives at the Queenstown Country Lodge!
We love it here, and so will you! It is our mission to make your stay as good and as memorable as possible!
We come from very different backgrounds, and this has allowed us to bring a wide range of experiences and skills into the lodge. We have a healthy appetite, for work, play, food and humour so we would love to host you, to show our food, wine, to share your experiences and laughter!
