Episode Description
In this episode of Superhosts Down Under, Ray and Silvia chat with Esther, founder of Nelly Woods Collective Stays, about her journey from corporate tech to hosting three design-led “slow stays” across Australia — including Into the Woods and Nelly in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and her newest retreat Tiers Rest in Tasmania.
The conversation opens with a lively discussion on the dangers of leaving keys in letterboxes, after Silvia shares a costly cautionary tale that every host should hear. From there, Esther walks through how she built a thriving boutique brand grounded in sustainability, calm design, and genuine connection — all while scaling interstate.
