Ariska brings a worldly perspective to real estate, shaped by years of travel and a deep appreciation for people and places. Born in the Netherlands, her career began in Amsterdam where she worked for a real estate marketing and communications agency. This gave her a sharp eye for detail and a love for connecting stories with homes. What was meant to be just one winter season in Methven back in 2008 turned into something much more. After several years splitting her time between New Zealand and abroad, Ariska made the move to Methven permanent in 2015. She went on to complete 11 seasons on Mt Hutt before deciding it was time to return to her real estate roots. Now, she is raising her two boys, Oskar and Otto, in the community she loves to call home. Since returning to real estate, Ariska has become a trusted part of the Canterbury property scene. As part of Arizto, she combines modern technology with genuine connection, making every step of the process transparent, thoughtful, and stress free for her clients. 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 brings confidence to buyers and sellers alike. Outside of work, you will often find Ariska hiking the nearby trails with her boys, spending overnights hikes in DOC huts, or enjoying time on Mt Hutt in winter. When summer arrives, she loves spending days at the beach. For Ariska, real estate is not just about property it’s about people, relationships, and helping others feel at home in a place they love as much as she does.
