During Francesca’s four years as General Manager she successfully transformed Raes on Wategos in Byron Bay into Australia's most renowned boutique hotel, earning a reputation for style, quality, and excellence. The guest experience throughout the hotel, restaurant, cellar bar, and spa has become the standard for luxury accommodation in the country. 

Her attention to detail and her commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience set the hotel apart from its competitors. Under her guidance, guests could expect nothing but the best when staying at Raes. 

Francesca's impact was significant. Her own unique style and  elegance helped shape our dream of creating a unique experience which combines European excellence with Australia’s bohemian relaxed surf culture. 

Her dedication and passion for hospitality allowed her to create a unique experience that guests would remember for years to come. Without her leadership, Raes would not be the success story it is today.
