As the owner of Tirimoana, my vision & passion is to create a Barefoot Lux sustainable coastal retreat and venue within the spectacular East Otago Coastline. I see myself as a guardian (kaitiaki) of this special place and wish to impart on all our friends and visitors who come here a lightness of being, some would say gratitude, for all that we have here - from the beauty of the landscape and pristine coastal environment to the history and culture that is a part of this place. I dream of Tirimoana Whare Roa being a place where we can celebrate each other, celebrate the moment and build community.

I always strive to make this world a better place. Working at The Longhouse allows me to make small changes by doing the best I can to look after our guests as well as looking after and protecting this beautiful part of the world. Making someone's stay, retreat or wedding memorable and introducing people to the beauty and diversity this coast and area has to offer is my passion. I am very grateful the universe has lead me to this place. We get to meet amazing people and learn something new every day. And all that with this view... How lucky am I?
