Meet the Team

Bridget & Aaron Murphy – Founders

Aaron and Bridget have a huge love of travel, having lived and worked all over the world managing 5 star resorts in the Caribbean, Fiji, Thailand, Australia.

After many years of travelling around it was time to come home to New Zealand to raise their two daughters. After living at the beach for so long they thought they’d try the mountains and have fallen in love with all the incredible sports at their fingertips here in Queenstown. With trail running, mountain biking and snowboarding at the top of the list.

Having come from a hospitality background their aim is to make your experience with Luxury Stays Queenstown an unforgettable one. If they can do something for you to enhance your stay, they will.

Not ones to stick to a script, they want you to leave your villa feeling like you’ve just left a retreat and are planning your next visit already.

Fernanda Silveira – Property Manager

Fernanda moved to New Zealand from Brazil nearly 10 years ago and has been working for us for over 9 years now. She is very much family after having worked in every facet of our business over the years and has contributed massively to the business’s growth.

A natural born leader with an impeccable eye for detail – Fernanda is highly respected amongst staff and has the ability to anticipate what people need, before they’ve even realised it themselves.

You can be sure if you ask Fernanda to do something it will be done 110%. Fernanda is a very calm natured woman, who handles working under pressure very well and will go above and beyond to make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible.
