Hi, I'm Nicky

Having grown up in the Macedon Ranges, I'm so grateful to have had the privilege of living in one of Victoria's most beautiful and dynamic locations, where I now host a guest suite through Riparide - Mokepilly Macedon Ranges - with my mother Karen on our family property in Macedon. I love gardening and growing roses, trail-riding, dressage and working equitation with my horse Frodo, watching movies, exploring nature and hanging out with family and friends over a local sparkling Shiraz or a good craft gin. I am a volunteer firefighter with the Country Fire Authority (CFA) at the Mount Macedon Fire Brigade, and work in wellbeing, advising and mentoring in higher education. My own travels have included Papua New Guinea, Southern Africa (Botswana, South Africa, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe), Japan, Thailand and a number of Australian destinations including lots of adventuring in Far North Queensland.
