Shona Mackay
Professional Relief Manager
Owner/Operator
After joining the Banking industry out of school and spending the next 20+ years moving through the ranks from a 'Batching Clerk' to Branch Manager, I left in 2012 when a bank-wide merger saw a reduction in Branches and staff numbers. After a short break to think about 'what next' I saw a gap in the Motel Industry for a reliable, professional Motel Relief Manager.
Twelve plus years and some 50 different motels later, I have built up a base of regular clients who keep me busy, I am taking bookings into 2026 so planning ahead is good if you are wanting a break. If you are looking at an overseas break please talk to me first so you can book your tickets with confidence that you will be covered.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my grand-daughters & friends and family. I am looking forward to experiencing a Canadian Winter in December 2025 and looking to combine work with holidaying a little more in the South Island this year and next.
