Jan McPhail
Front of House
I was born and raised on the shores of Lake Taupō (not quite literally) and still feel a very strong connection to the area. I have lived in Northland for the last 31 years and raised my children here so am fortunate to call both of these beautiful areas home. I have lived and travelled outside of New Zealand, for which I am very grateful, but this is definitely where I belong. Find out more
