Nicole & Mark Watkins | Resort Managers

Mark and Nicole, married for 23 years, have built a life filled with adventure, family, and a deep love for the outdoors. After years on the Gold Coast and in Cairns, they’ve embraced alpine life at The Stables Resort Perisher, rekindling their passion for skiing and mountain living. Proud parents to Lilly and Harvey (and their kelpie, Roy), they bring warmth, energy, and expertise to everything they do.

Since joining The Stables Resort Perisher family, they’ve rediscovered their passion for skiing—though they joke that their enthusiasm extends just as much to collecting ski gear as it does to hitting the slopes. Their excitement for the snow even led them to a ski holiday in Colorado this summer, further fueling their love for alpine adventures.

With extensive experience in resort management, tourism, and hospitality, they’ve led major projects at Discovery Resorts – Undara, Fitzroy Island Resort, and Tawali Dive & Leisure Resort in Papua New Guinea. Nicole excels in sales, marketing, and guest experience, while Mark has a strong track record in business growth and operational leadership, transforming resorts and driving financial success.

At The Stables Resort, they’re dedicated to creating exceptional guest experiences — combining their professional expertise with their love for adventure and the Snowy Mountains.
