Brian left his corporate career after a very successful 23 year career to pursue his dream of owning and running an up market and Boutique Guest house. Brian pursued studies in Accounting and Engineering but from a young age he had a love for hospitality and a yearning to enter the Hospitality Industry and in 2016 an opportunity arose for Brian to finally move into hospitality full time. Both Brian and Nicole love road running and are members of the local West Coast Running Club and other hobbies include playing in an orchestra, reading and spending quality camp outs and fun time with their twin daughters.
