About Us - Ultimate Stays

About us

At Ultimate Stays, we make holidays personal, welcoming and unforgettable.

Holiday homes with heart, in New Zealand’s most stunning destinations.

Since the beginning, we’ve believed that holiday accommodation should never be a compromise. That’s why every property bearing the Ultimate Stays name has been personally vetted, carefully selected, and held to standards that go beyond industry norms.

From the moment you enquire to the moment you reluctantly check out, you’ll experience service that anticipates your needs, properties that exceed your expectations, and attention to detail that transforms a good holiday into an extraordinary one.

At Ultimate Stays, we’ve made exceptional the baseline. Because your time away is precious, and you deserve nothing less.

Our team

Behind Ultimate Stays is a small team with a big passion for New Zealand holidays. We’re locals who know the regions we represent; From Queenstown’s alpine landscapes to the tranquillity of Picton. We bring that knowledge into every booking and property we manage.

Meet Jo Silverthorn

Managing Director

Hi! I’m Jo Silverthorn and I’m the Managing Director of Ultimate Stays Limited. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I came to New Zealand for a 6 month working holiday, and have now lived in this beautiful country since 1986! I’m a trusted and friendly person with very high property management standards. Presentation, cleanliness and taking care of holiday home properties is my priority. My team and I look after everything in regards to managing the property. We do all the work so our clients and guests can relax and know that everything is taken care of.

My personal point of difference is that I offer exceptional customer service and I look after every property as if it was my own. I communicate with my clients and make myself available when required. I make sure the guests are looked after and have regular communication with them during their stay. I’ve been a 5 star SuperHost since 2014 and can offer a complete piece of mind, trust & safety.
