Originally from Hawke’s Bay. My career began here in Queenstown, studying at QRC and working my way up the hospitality ladder. In 2020, amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I took the leap to start my own business. Tāhuna Hideaway was born during this unprecedented time, and I haven’t looked back since.
Born from true hospitality and rooted in personal experience, we’ve learned what real clients deserve: approachability, accountability, and, most importantly, honesty. We’re in this together. Every property, investment, guest, and opportunity that comes our way is treated as one of our own. Maintaining superior standards is only the beginning. We share ongoing market knowledge with our owners and provide regular financial reporting, ensuring security and care for your property. Our range of professional services includes both short-term accommodation and long-term rentals within the Queenstown area.
Before starting the business, I envisioned infusing Aotearoa’s true Kiwi culture into the beautiful homes and incredible locations that Queenstown offers, and that’s exactly what we’ve done! We supply our guests with locally sourced and eco-friendly supplies, toiletries, and added goodies, allowing them to experience a ‘Taste of New Zealand.’
We recognize the importance of incorporating the native language and culture of Te Reo Māori into our business, hence the name ‘Tāhuna.’ Tāhuna refers to the flat land where Queenstown now stands, on the shore of Whakatipu Waimāori (Lake Wakatipu). It’s a geographical term used to describe a shallow sandbank or sandy shore. Through this, we pay our respects to the land and those who were here before us.
Work ethic, sustainability, personability, passion, and loyalty are the pillars of our company. We employ dedicated and experienced property managers to cater to the ever-changing needs of high-value short-term rental guests, empowering property owners to maximize rental income on their homes.
We’ll do the mahi (work), and you get the treats! We’re here to make our guests’ holiday experience an easy one. Think of us as your holiday personal assistant. From round-the-clock concierge services to management and maintenance, our clients and guests trust us because we’re local, dedicated, and never more than a stone’s throw away.
We are proud to collaborate with local businesses that share our commitment to quality and sustainability:
