Your hosts are Roz Speirs and Mario Alessi.

Roz and Mario have been welcoming guests to their holiday homes since 2004. They take great pride in renovating, decorating and maintaining each property to a high standard to ensure that they provide a comfortable home away from home for guests.

Roz emigrated to New Zealand from Scotland in 2002 attracted by Nelson’s wonderful climate and lifestyle. Mario was born and raised in Nelson and returned home after working in North Island and the UK. In addition to running the holiday homes, Roz is a glass artist (www.clarityglass.co.nz) and Mario owns a fishing and diving store. They live close to all the holiday homes so are on hand to sort out any little problems that might arise.

Having rented many baches and holiday homes themselves, Roz and Mario know what’s important to guests when renting a holiday home: cleanliness, a relaxing outdoor space, comfortable beds and top quality linen for a great night’s sleep, and provision of the “little things” like pantry basics, kitchen roll, first aid kits and sharp kitchen knives!
