OUR STORY
Introducing your host, Patsy Ayson
I am New Zealand born and bred and have lived in both Dunedin and Mosgiel most of my life. I have 3 adult children who now have their own families and I look forward to spending time with them and the grandchildren. I enjoy travelling, reading and the outdoors and spend my down time walking, golfing and hunting.
I have strong skills in sales and marketing and pride myself on customer service. I love to interact and engage with my guests to ensure they have the very best possible experience while staying with Bella Vista.
Mosgiel, Otago - Your Destination
Mosgiel is separated from the city of Dunedin by hills. It takes its name from Mosgiel in Ayrshire, the farm of poet Robbie Burns, who was the uncle of one of Dunedin’s founders. In February 1770 Captain Cook described the saddle-shaped hill which became known as Saddle Hill, the Land mark east of Mosgiel.
The history of Mosgiel is intertwined with the wool products industry. It is the home to one of New Zealand’s largest agricultural research institutes but it no longer has a woollen mill. As an important service town for the Taieri Plains farming community, Mosgiel also has a wide selection of retail and service businesses.
Our Community Involvement
I donate $1 each day you choose not to have your room serviced. I chose different organisations and individuals to donate too. I have given previously to Plunket, Starship Hospital, local sports teams, Project Orange (showering and clothes washing for the homeless).
Any public laundry money generated is donated to Otago Community Hospice.
I have welcomed work experience students from Taieri High School and other local high schools
I donate old bedding, towels, curtains, carpet, appliances (in working order) e.g. hair dryers & fridges to the local support services and businesses – Salvation Army, Curtain Bank, Woman’s Refuge and the local vet.
I am a member of the Otago Motel Association
Our Sustainability Practices
I want to ensure that we operate in a manner that reduces environmental risk. I want to do our bit to help protect Mosgiel and safeguard its natural beauty so that it is preserved for many generations to come.
I have developed an environmental plan and welcome your support with the following initiatives.
I ask you to consider the following options to help reduce discharge of detergents and waste water:
Hang your towels on the towel rail if you wish to reuse them or place your towels in the shower tray or bathtub if you wish them to be laundered.
I use LED lighting in the rooms. I would appreciate your help by turning off the lights and electrical appliances while not in use or when you are out of the room.
I give you the opportunity to recycle your waste by asking you to leave any paper, plastics or glass bottles beside your rubbish bin and food scraps in the container provided. Please help us to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible.
I have a Worm Farm for food scraps and a compost bin for garden waste.
I have installed ‘water saver’ devices in taps and shower heads to reduce water volume without compromising on quality. I purchase goods locally wherever possible, which helps to reduce the carbon emissions from transportation of goods. I aim to carefully select suppliers that have a ‘recognised green accreditation’ and provide biodegradable products and packaging wherever possible.
I use ‘white vinegar’ which is a chemical free and a natural cleaner.
I proudly support local community groups by donating goods and promoting their products.
I support and train our staff to commit to our environmental practices. My overall aim as a business is to ensure New Zealand’s clean green image remains intact for the future generations.
Bella Vista Mosgiel is a 4 star Qualmark rated property and awarded Silver status under the Sustainable Tourism Business criteria which is recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). Founded in 2007, the GSTC is a United Nations-initiated programme which sets the global baseline standards for sustainable travel and tourism.
I look forward to hosting you!
