Hi, my name is Rachael Irvine, and I am currently based near Dunedin, Otago.

I am looking for ongoing motel relieving work from December 2024 onwards.
Length of stay requirements (min/max) we can discuss, as that will depend greatly on the location and travel required.
Depending on the location, I would also be open to being just an extra pair of hands to cover a busy time.

Whilst I will be new to this kind of role, I have gained motel experience from working on and off in my parents’ motel for the past 20 years. I have worked across almost all parts of the motel (excluding cleaning) and was very recently a reliever for my Mum for around 10 weeks. I have experience with Resly and basic experience with Motel Mate but with my many years of experience in administration and customer service and owning our own internet companies, I can learn new systems and processes quickly.

I am an honest, reliable and hardworking kiwi who loves to be busy. I thoroughly enjoy meeting guests and learning about their travels or offering my own travel experiences as they continue their journey.

I can be hands on with almost everything, but we can discuss what would be required. I am more than happy to do weeding, lawns and spraying if required. I can also do minor/basic handyman repairs if required. Whilst I would come as a single person for the job, my husband would sometimes be tagging along too as he can work from anywhere.

I look forward to hearing from you and being able to give you that break away.
Any questions call or email.

Thank you.

Our names are Shelagh and Ross Laird, we are based in the North Island. We have had over 18 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.


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 to other Moteliers
I was managing the Beach Lodge Motels in St Kilda Dunedin for 2 years. It is an 18-unit complex which I did on my own. We did all laundry on site so that kept me busy and out of mischief.
I finished my time there in September 24 so had a lovely holiday before commencing my minding journey. I have been at motels in Christchurch and am currently at a motel in Nelson.
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 entering the motel world.
I have used Little Hotelier, Calista and Preno to date.
I have references available from my Beach Lodge owners and Derek Johnson from Coffeys.
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

Experienced manager of Motels and Resorts available now.

I have just finished managing Sacred Waters Luxury Resort (on the market) in Taupo and Nugget Point Resort in Queenstown and the property has now been sold.

Maybe you need assistance in preparing your accommodation property for sale OR due to circumstances need assistance in managing and increasing your revenue.
For the past 20 years I have successfully managed a number of NZ properties and was also the BDM for many years at SEEKOM which resulted in me presenting many nationwide workshops with both Seekom and Hospitality New Zealand.
I have a vast network with OTA's and other valuable accomodation partners.
Do reach out with any questions.

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 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.
