Traditionally a “Bothy” is the Scottish term for an often remote, hillside hut where the shepherds and travellers would rest, take a dram (a drink), tell stories in the firelight and recover for their next gruelling day. These were particularly common in the Scottish Highlands.
Our collection of Bothies go well beyond the facilities and comfort of the traditionally simple huts. Beautifully furnished, warm and welcoming, they are the perfect place to get away with friends or family to work, play or rest, recover and enjoy. Relax and take in the wonderful views whether they be of the Alps or the Remarkables, the city or the lake.
Bothy accommodation is affordable, welcoming luxury. Thanks for taking a look at our homes and we hope you choose to stay time and time again as many of our guests have.
We have both long term accomodation and short term accomodation.
All accomodation is fully resource consented.
Welcome
Hi, my name is Jen.
With Scottish origins, my family moved to New Zealand in 2012 and we, happily, became citizens in 2020. I have loved exploring and getting to know our new country. New Zealand is my soul home.
As a swimmer hiker and biker, I love the sea, the mountains and the fresh air and I will never tire of encouraging my children, friends and guests to get out and BREATH :0)
Owning 4 of the apartments or houses that you see in these pages, I know how important it is to feel that your property is cared for properly. I treat every home as if it were my own.
With a business background spanning over 20 years, I worked as a Business Unit Manager in a field sales marketing company, a project manager and as a trader in the dairy industry. As a result I understand the importance of bothy verbal and written communication and for finding effective solutions in a timely manner.
My new adventure into property management came about after a career break with my 4 lovely kids. My past work experience in customer facing environments were certainly the perfect platform to launch from!
Ultimately, I want to ensure that all of the guests and owners we work with are confident and informed in our service. We work together to ensure the best outcomes for all.
I do hope you love our properties shown in the pages. Any questions just contact me !
Regards
Jen
