Lives in East Brisbane, Australia
After being in the corporate world for many years as a CEO, I took a break to develop accommodation and in 2012 took on my biggest challenge to date, the restoration of historic Hanworth House, one of Brisbane’s oldest properties which was restored in honour of my beautiful mother Romana who passed away the same year from ovarian cancer. Just weeks from opening in March 2013 a fire destroyed 80% of this magnificent house so the journey started again. I love to share Hanworth with others - perfect for the single or couple traveller and close to the city and beautiful Brisbane. Hanworth is more than a place to stay - and hosts some of Brisbane's most bespoke events - always with a charitable purpose. I believe that we should all do what we love. I love Hanworth and am very proud of the special place and community we have created here.
