Hoburne Life

Hoburne Park

Mudeford Quay, Christchurch

Welcome to your summer 2025 edition of Hoburne Life

We’re excited about this coming summer and look forward to seeing you (and friends and family) on park.

We have a fabulous range of owner events to share with you in this edition, plus special offers, park enhancements and new menus, so sit back with a cuppa and enjoy reading!

As always if there is any feedback you’d like to share with us or have any questions, please do get in touch.

Best wishes, Sam Adams Interim GM at Hoburne Park

Holidays at Hoburne are all about making memories, and we want to offer you the chance to share your most treasured ones.

Perhaps you met that special someone in your life at one of our parks. Maybe you come back again and again, because your Hoburne Holiday Home is your little slice of heaven. It could be just one special summer’s evening, a hand held on the beach or a friend you’ve never forgotten but would love to reconnect with.

Just let us know by emailing rachel.page@hoburne.com with a few brief details and your contact information. If your story is then chosen, you will be contacted in advance and could soon be featured on our website and one of our regular owner and guest marketing communications.

Farewell to Derek

As many of you will know, Derek Jones has made the personal decision to step down from being GM at Hoburne Park and has moved into the position of Estate Manager at Naish. Derek has dedicated over 30 years to Hoburne, having built his career entirely within the business. Over the decades, he has progressed through multiple roles and contributed significantly to the success of Hoburne Park and the wider company.

Welcome Sam!

With Derek leaving, Sam Adams has taken up the Interim General Manager role for the next six months. Sam has been a valued member of the Hoburne family for 28 years, with an impressive journey that began at Bashley. She has since worked in our Group Support department and spent 12 years managing our Crane Valley and Bulbury Woods golf clubs. Sam brings a huge wealth of experience to this role and we’re so excited to have her leading the team here at Hoburne Park.

Introducing Elite Parks - our new owner management system

As many of you will know, we’re now a few weeks into using our new system, Elite Parks, and we’d like to thank all our owners for your patience and understanding as our teams adapt to the change. Coming soon! The new system will be supported by a dedicated app, designed to make managing your ownership account easier and more intuitive. The new app will be launched soon and we’ll communicate with you to let you know when it is going live. Once that has happened, if you need any help getting started or have questions about it, our Guest & Owner Experience Team will be happy to assist.

Congratulations to Sophie!

Sophie Matthews tied the knot on May 17th and is now Sophie Frankcom. We are so excited for them both and send heartfelt congratulations to the happy couple!
