Hello firstly I have now 11 years motel experience between 2 different motels in Te Anau currently we have our Motel listed with Coffey's so not wanting to venture too far away from our Motel to do minding. Minding I am looking at up to 1 week at this stage but also to relieve 1-2 day basis to gain more experience at other Motels. Computer programs currently working with Seekom but used Motel Mate.
I have a great sense of humour so great with staff and guests and have travelled NZ and seem almost all of it so have good knowledge of areas.
If it ok to bring my wee Motel dog Molly with me for company would be great she is a 4 year old Shitzu well behaved growing up in the Motel and loves to meet and greet people with a wagging tail.
Currently due to our Motel lease being on the Market can only do short term minding but once our Lease sells will be able to travel further around NZ is my goal to mind anyway that someone would appreciate my skills.
I have currently 12 Apartments and but also experience with 20 Apartments or together running both gave me 32 Apartments with lots of staff.
I'm keen to learn and have more challenges to come
Send me a text message is the quickest way for me to reply
I have started a Facebook page: Motel Minder NZ - Irene Benfell-Herron so you can send me a message
Thanks for reading my comments but if you need any more information I'm waiting

Our names are Shelagh and Ross Laird, we are based in the North Island. We have had over 16 years working in the Motel, Holiday Park and Tourism industry between us. It is a lifestyle and a job that we enjoy very much, we also enjoy travelling around New Zealand so we decided to combine the two by minding Motels and Holiday Parks while the owners go on much deserved breaks.
So far we have used Seekom, Callista, Aurelian, Strait Reservation, Reservation Master, New Book, Guest point, Motel Mate and Park Mate and many more booking systems, we are very familiar with Kiwi card and Kiwi Parks, we are also very able to learn any other systems.
If required we have our own accommodation being a caravan depending on the motel /park and location.
We normally arrive the day before you leave - first day we arrive and set up, we go over the running of the motel/park with you, day two we are ready to work on our own. When you arrive back, we carry out hand over and discuss anything with you that we need to.
We have a facebook page Rollin Minders NZ. We are both computer literate and we learn systems very quickly. We pride ourselves with good customer service and we also take great pride in the work we do.
If you would like to discuss anything further with us you can contact us via this email or by phoning 0275581771. As references you can phone Paul and Mandy at King’s Court Motel at Wanganui pH 06 345 8586 or Shelly and Julian at Opunake Beach Kiwi Holiday Park pH 06 761 7525.
