Byng Street Boutique Hotel owners, Thomas and Kristen Nock added, “We are so excited and grateful to be recognised by our industry within our first two years of operation. We are really proud of our achievements, particularly overcoming the challenges of being a new small business in the current environment. We had a clear vision of the business we wanted to create and it is immensely gratifying when our guests respond so positively. We must acknowledge our wonderful team, both past and present who have joined us on our journey and have delivered exceptional service to our wonderful guests.”
