Ariska brings a global perspective to real estate, shaped by years of travel and a deep appreciation for people and place. Born in the Netherlands, her career began in Amsterdam, working for a real estate marketing and communications agency. This experience gave her a sharp eye for detail and a passion for connecting stories with homes.

What was meant to be just one winter season in Methven in 2008 quickly became something more. After several years dividing her time between New Zealand and overseas, Ariska made Methven home permanently in 2015. She went on to complete 11 seasons on Mt Hutt before returning to her real estate roots. Today, she is raising her two boys, Oskar and Otto, in the community she proudly calls home.

Since returning to real estate, Ariska has become a trusted presence in the Canterbury property market. As part of Arizto, she combines modern technology with genuine, down-to-earth service, ensuring every step of the process is transparent, thoughtful, and stress-free.

Honest, direct, and deeply committed, Ariska is known for taking the time to truly understand her clients’ needs. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and her calm, practical approach gives buyers and sellers confidence throughout their property journey.

Outside of work, Ariska enjoys hiking local trails with her boys, spending nights in DOC huts, and making the most of Mt Hutt during winter. In summer, you’ll often find her at the beach.

For Ariska, real estate isn’t just about property, it’s about people, relationships, and helping others feel truly at home.
