Two Napier sisters with one shared idea of affordable, boutique accommodation

We've spent years hosting stays across Hawke's Bay, and The Estuary Lodge is the one we always wanted for ourselves. An eye for detail, and a love to show off what Napier has to offer.

I love wellness, I love people to feel cared for and considered. Eco friendly and quality are core values for me. I have always dreamed of working with Jo, I thought it would be a house flip but here we are!
I have seven years experience hosting guests via Airbnb the highlight being winning the New Zealand Airbnb Host of the year award 2025. Two of my professional passions are hosting guests and doing up houses so this project ticked both boxes in a big way. It means alot to me that our guests feel special through all of the little touches dotted throughout the spaces I create.
