Hi there

We are looking for motel/holiday park minding work in the North Island. We have 7+ years experience in running both holiday parks and motels. We have used Seekom, Calista, Preno 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 hypoallergenic 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.
Dean and Karyn

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 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. Happy to chat with you about automating your property and improving the guest journey.

Do reach out with any questions.

We are Alan and Susan. We have previously owned and operated our own Motel in the central north island. We also have experience managing a Caravan Park in NSW Australia. We are a hands on couple and like to keep busy. In our spare time we like to cycle and get into the outdoors. We know how important it is to get a reliable Relief Manager to keep your business running the same as you would while you take a break from the 7 days a week regime of running your Motel. We can change a light bulb and clear a blocked toilet strip and make beds. Please feel free to email or phone us with any enquiries you may have as to us looking after your Motel

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.

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.
