Emily Rutherford’s entrepreneurial journey began in London and Dubai’s entertainment event management industry. After several years of experience, she pursued her passion for creating a unique and exciting water park. Emily’s vision led to the creation of New Zealand’s largest water park, Kiwi Water Park in Cromwell, Central Otago, which quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the area.

Emily’s dedication and hard work were evident in the park’s features, which included a 9-meter-high slide, diving board towers, and the largest blob pillow in New Zealand. The park’s success was challenging, however. The COVID-19 pandemic was a significant obstacle that Emily had to overcome. Despite the pandemic, Emily maintained a solid customer base by building a robust online community.

She has been working tirelessly to scale the business beyond its current location, nestled between Queenstown and Wānaka on the shores of Lake Dunstan. Emily’s strategic approach to business has been instrumental in the park’s success, and she continues to implement innovative ideas to keep the experience fresh and exciting for visitors.
