Nick joined ResortBrokers in 2026 as our motel and caravan park broker for Greater Toowoomba, following 16 successful years operating a local motel and caravan park.

Having run the 43-room, 50-site Jeffrey’s Motel in the Toowoomba suburb of Kearneys Spring with his wife Tracie, Nick understands firsthand the dedication, resilience and reward that come with being an accommodation operator.

Recognising their strong hospitality background, family friends invited the couple to take over management of Jeffrey’s during a period of decline. They quickly reversed the downward trend, revitalising the business and adding long-term value by transforming the caravan park into an over-55s residential village.

“Our point of difference was simple: delivering five-star service in a three-star motel,” says Nick. “While there are many aspects of a property you can’t change overnight — the building, the layout, the age of the rooms — you can have an immediate, positive impact on every guest who walks through the door.”

“The relationships we built were one of the most rewarding parts of the job. If we could make someone’s day just a little bit easier or a little bit better, we felt we were doing our job well.”

Now as a broker, Nick brings both deep operational knowledge and a practical, on-the-ground understanding of what it takes to sell a motel or caravan park.

“Stepping into this role with 16 years of hands-on operational experience gives me a unique perspective,” says Nick.

“I understand the challenges, rhythms and realities of running a motel or caravan park because I’ve lived them daily. Being able to offer genuine insight, guidance and practical support to local operators is something I’m deeply committed to.”

He credits his many years in the industry with shaping his approach.

“Those years taught me that great hospitality isn’t about luxury — it’s about consistency, care and treating people the way you’d want to be treated. It’s a mindset I carry with me into my new role as a broker.”

Nick continues to value face-to-face connection with operators across the region.

“One of the things I enjoy most about being a broker is reconnecting with the motel and caravan park owners across my region on a personal level. It’s a tight-knit, proactive network built on mutual trust and respect, and I’m excited to strengthen these relationships even further.”

Originally from London, Nick has called The Garden City home for the past 17 years, thanks to wife Tracie, a proud local. The couple met while working on cruise ships based out of the United States. Nick spent 12 years in cruise hospitality, travelling extensively throughout the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and beyond.

Before his hospitality career, he spent five years in car sales in London, working with respected brands including BMW.

“It’s the human element that attracts me to sales,” says Nick. “I like to help people through a process. To assist, to be informative.”

Whether he’s helping an owner prepare to sell, guiding an investor considering their next move, or simply acting as a trusted voice in the accommodation community, Nick is committed to supporting the continued growth and success of the regional market.

“I try to be a true connector in the industry,” says Nick. “Someone who brings people together, helps solve problems quickly and adds value through both industry knowledge and long-standing relationships.”
