Based in Wānaka, NZHL Southern Lakes supports clients across Wānaka, Queenstown, and the wider Central Otago region with personalised mortgage advice and long‑term financial guidance, helping first home buyers, homeowners, and property investors create loan structures tailored to both current needs and future goals.

The office is led by Business Owner Brent Mitchell, who opened the Southern Lakes office in Wānaka in 2016 to provide a strong local NZHL presence. With nearly 20 years’ experience at NZHL, Brent is known for his strategic approach, clear communication, and commitment to building long‑term client relationships.

Mortgage Mentor Yerane Davies recently joined the team, bringing hands‑on property investment experience and a genuine passion for helping people take control of their financial future. Yerane’s approachable, educational style focuses on debt reduction strategies and forward planning to support clients beyond settlement.

The team is supported by Administrator Holly Quayle, whose background in administration and accounts helps ensure a seamless, well‑organised experience throughout the mortgage journey.

Together, the NZHL Southern Lakes team offers trusted advice, ongoing support, and proven strategies to help clients reduce interest, pay off debt faster, and move confidently toward long‑term financial independence.

"We have had a great experience with NZHL so far. Always making time for us and figuring out how we could make it happen to get into our own home. They explain everything and I found their process very transparent."
