Louis FRONT office AGENT (RANDWICK)

Meet our Aussie-born team member Louis who works as a Front Desk Agent in Randwick. As a young teenager he lived abroad, both in the UK and New Zealand before returning to Sydney and speaks a titbit of French (that he would love to take further!)

On his free time this autodidact loves reading, mainly fiction and classics like George Orwell's popular 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'. Also a cinephile, his favourite movie of all times would probably be Pulp Fiction.

Louis's recommended place to eat in the neighbourhood is Burger Barrel on the way down to Coogee Beach. "The burgers are absolutely spectacular!"

Louis enjoys the relation with his co-workers and the steady-flow of working at the front desk, meeting new people every day.

Amélie Marketing & PR Manager

Amélie is French, South African and is now proud to call herself Aussie too!

She joined our team a year ago as our Marketing & PR Manager (part-time) after more than a decade in the sport industry. When she is not in the Potts Point head office she works as a Yoga Teacher and Childbirth Doula and is passionate about environmental sustainability.

As a vegetarian, she recommends Jeremy & Sons (40 Bayswater Rd)'s yummy mushroom toastie for brekkie and the local health food store Health Nuts (Kings Cross Centre). "For dinner in the neighbourhood, my favourites are the famous plant-based Yellow (57 MacLeay St) for special occasions or the more bohemian Govindas (112 Darlinghurst Rd) that offers a cinema/dinner package with a vegetarian buffet and then a movie where you kick off your shoes and lie on a sofa!"

Amélie enjoys working for a small family business and fell in love with the vibrant Potts Point area. "Don't miss our walking tour. This neighbourhood has such a rich and interesting history! Even locals don't know all the hidden stories behind those streets!"

Coffee order: black tea for me, please!
