Jacqui is the founder and CEO of Touch of Spice and pioneer of luxury stays in New Zealand.Relentless and not knowing how to say no are two ways to describe Jacqui. Relentless in her pursuit to find the precise accommodation option to match the client’s requests, alongside the best experience she can deliver. “Never saying no” is one of Jacqui’s core values and this means if you ask for a big pink elephant, she won’t say no, she will say “what shade of pink?”. This has rewarded Jacqui the loyalty of many key clients who, 13 years later, still turn to her to help them fulfil their next special request. Prior to starting Touch of Spice in 2005, Jacqui spent over a decade working on-board super yachts looking after the uber wealthy, and often high-profile guests, where she honed her understanding of what exceeding expectations truly means.Touch of Spice was born out of Jacqui’s desire to deliver an international level of exceptional service, combined with luxury accommodation and experiences to well-heeled clients who are in the ’need it now’ world of today. As a well-travelled individual herself, Jacqui has a passion for the finer things in life and for seamless and effortless travel. She is incredibly passionate about New Zealand and what it has to offer, over and above its breath-taking scenery and many adventure options.Nothing is impossible for Jacqui and the Touch of Spice team, if a client asks for a professional ping pong player to be at their disposal 24/7, they make it happen (and it has happened!).
