About

HEY YOU!

I'M SO GLAD YOU MADE IT!

I created Room Service because I want to hand you the keys to your dream Airbnb, guesthouse, tiny stay, restaurant, retreat, micro-hotel, cafe… maybe even your own home.

Whether you’ve just bought land, or an exotic villa, you're an empty nester looking forward to your next reno project or you’ve got a big bold idea that’s still living in your head, this course is here to help you bring it to life.

Welcome to Room Service & Welcome to your imagination...

HI, I'M JULIA.

Founder of The Vista, co-creator of Sun Ranch Byron Bay, and designer behind boutique stays like The Eltham Hotel and The Sunseeker and restaurants No Bones, Ciao Mate & You Beauty.

But more than any title? I’m a lifelong hunter of magic.

Magic in spaces, magic in stories and magic in those powerful connections --- The kind that make your heart skip the moment you walk into a room.

GUT FEELINGS..

I am not classically trained. 8 years ago when I renovated 5 rooms above a pub I had an extremely small budget and little to no idea what I was doing! But I followed my gut.

I drew inspiration from the past and found the beautiful stories within the 120 year old walls. These tales where fabulous - and they needed to be celebrated and brought to life. That's where my journey began. Then Vogue called!

WHY THIS COURSE?

This is not your average online course, filmed in a spare bedroom with a ring light!

I am taking you from the studio (where things get really zany) and then out into the world and behind the scenes of some of the most popular stays in Australia (and the world)...

Your a first time Airbnb host, hotelier, you have a dream of opening a hospitality venue, or you just need a creative refresh...this course is for you!

You'll learn from industry pros, hospitality heroes and SUPER hosts, who are also artists, stylists, photographers and makers.

Plus, you can complete this course from anywhere in the world with wi-fi!
