Our names are Lyn and Glenn.
We are looking for an opportunity to continue working as Motel / Complex Managers. As a Couple we believe
that we tick all the boxes. We have a strong background in Hospitality and Glenn, and I have worked together
for the past 14 years in various roles.
As a couple we work very well in sync and we complement each other’s skills, we have a passion for people
and love to showcase our strengths and enjoy being part of a team that provides an unforgettable guest
experience while being immersed in the culture and diversity of the environment.
Prior to our current roles as Complex Managers, I was working as an Operational Human Resource / Health
and Safety Manager and Glenn has a strong Maintenance background.
Our current and previous roles have always had an on-call component 24/7 and being called out in the wee
hours or late-night checks has been part of our lives for some time.
In our roles it has always been all hands-on deck, when it needed to be done, whether that was making a bed,
cleaning a toilet, or pouring a pint, our ethos was to get it done to ensure that the guest experience was the one
that made then want to come back.
We have an absolute love for travelling and enjoying life and our 5 – 7-year plan is to continue working
together as a management couple.
We spent 10 years working and travelling in Australia prior to coming back to New Zealand to meet our
grandies, we believe that our time travelling gives us the ability to communicate with everyone and it is great
to share experiences.
We are both able to pass a police checks if required and are both fully vaccinated.
We have attached our CV’s and would love to be able to really show our enthusiasm and abilities and to
discuss our experiences further.
Kind regards,
Lyn and Glenn Foord

Looking for someone to mind your own business while you have your much deserved break or deal with other things? Let me help you.

I currently own and manage a motel which I did for the last 7 years and I fully understand the importance of customer service and the overall management of a hospitality establishment. Alongside my experience with running a business is my degree in business analysis which has enhanced my problem solving skills. I am a hands on operator, both experienced at reception, taking reservations, and managing a house keeping team. Being a computer instructor in my past life, I can work with whatever booking system you've got.

Looking forward to chatting with you.

Hi,
I’m available for short and long term management relief. I have previously owned and operated my own motels both here in NZ and Australia.

The Manager is the face and reputation of your Motel and it’s important for your guests to feel welcome and relaxed knowing they have made the right choice to stay with you.
Every guest that walks through your doors is an opportunity for repeat business and it is my goal to achieve this and grow your business as though it were my own.

I look forward to hearing from you and all about your Motel and local area.

Please contact me for further information in respect of my work history.

Hi there

We are looking for motel/holiday park minding work in the North Island. We have 5+ years experience in running both holiday parks and motels. We have used Seekom, Calista and Newbook amongst others. And we are very quick learners if it is a booking system that we haven't had experience with before. We have our own self contained bus (9m) if this is required. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent customer service and will look after your business with pride. We do have two small dogs who travel with us - but they can stay with family if they would be an issue.

So if you are in need of a break - please give us a call. We would love to help you out.

Speak soon.

Hi there to other Moteliers
I am currently managing the Beach Lodge Motels in St Kilda Dunedin. I have been here for 18 months and have 6 months left on my contract.
I will have a holiday and then hope to do some minding for a couple of years.
I am open to anything and anywhere in NZ really, just looking forward to some new challenges.
I do not have a current CV sorry as I was employed as an Administration Manager of Vision AV, an Audio Visual Integration Company in Dunedin, for 28 years prior to coming here.
I manage this 18 unit complex on my own and we do all laundry on site so that keeps me busy and out of mischief.
I have used Little Hotelier and Preno in my current role.
I have references available from my current owners.
Feel free to check out the reviews from Beach Lodge.
If you are looking for someone who is keen, trustworthy, honest, reliable and great with people then give me a call.
Cheers and thanks
Debbie

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. We will also be able to provide other references as well if required.

Hi there
We are new to the manager/minder game,but do have experience. My partner Jamie has had motels. Also my partner and I leased a Holiday Park for 8 years. Then I went on to help with the running of Holiday Park for 3 years. We are people friendly and would be a great asset to any motel owners looking for that break or time out.
