About host

Born in Australia, I grew up in Sub-Saharan Africa, Germany, Iraq and Australia. After my long-term partner passed away aged 50, I retired 47 years young from my corporate career and moved from Australia to Austria. I have been buying and flipping properties while offering long and short stays in Australia, Austria, Hungary, Cyprus and Spain since 2007. I am super passionate about animals, our beautiful nature, kindness and respect. 

In February 2023, I relocated to Spain and later that year proudly acquired Casa Morayma and its neighboring property, Casa Zoraya, where I now reside. After undergoing renovations, Casa Morayma opened its doors to its first guests in May 2024.

I have spent much of my life living and working abroad. Captivated by the stunning natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada and Lecrín Valley, I envisioned creating a peaceful retreat where guests can unwind, immerse themselves in nature, and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

As a dog owner and passionate advocate for animal welfare, it was essential for me to establish a truly dog-friendly holiday home. Here, both guests and their four-legged companions are warmly welcomed to explore the magnificent walks, mountains, and countryside that make this region so extraordinary. Our Pet Policy is strictly applied for everyones safety and wellbeing.
