Retreat Review: A Firsthand Experience
"I enjoyed "being looked after" by Christine. She took care of all the details, kept me informed, worked with me to incorporate my specific requirements and made sure I didn't get run over or lose anything.
For me, as a person managing all aspects of my businesses and very busy with business, family and sporting commitments where I have a lot of responsibility, it was absolutely wonderful to have Christine ensuring everything went smoothly.
She is so capable and thorough, I was able to relax and trust everything to unfold as it should, this is rare in my world.
Christine is also particularly valuable for this type of trip because she understands logistics and business in general.
She is also great company and very easy to spend time with."
