House of Travel Papamoa

Lovely to meet you

Travel has been an integral part of my life for over 20 years, and I can't imagine pursuing anything else. This year, I proudly celebrate my 17th year with House of Travel Papamoa, where I truly love being a 'hottie.' Our store boasts a fantastic team culture that makes coming to work a joyful experience every day.

I find immense satisfaction in crafting bespoke itineraries that transform my clients' dreams into reality. While the USA remains my favourite destination, my travels have also taken me through the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, the enchanting South Pacific, vibrant Australia, diverse Europe, and picturesque Canada and Alaska. This year (2024), I had the incredible opportunity to experience the magic of South Africa, where witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat is nothing short of breath-taking. Being on safari brings you so close to majestic animals, just meters away, creating unforgettable memories.

Remember, your holiday begins the moment you step through our door. I invite you to share your vision of the perfect getaway—how it looks and feels, any research you've conducted, and your essential must-haves. The more we delve into your aspirations together, the more extraordinary your holiday will be!

My travel passions

I LOVE the USA- been numerous times and have lived in the mid-West for a year as a teenager. The country is so vast that you really could go every year for 50 years to explore every state and have a great time every time. Favourite destinations are Hawaii, Alaska, the mid-West, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and New York and I've also been to Las Vegas and San Francisco.

Hawaii-There' s something about Hawaii that I just love. I don't know if it's the warmth (not too cold, not too hot) or the beautiful waters or the shopping or the relaxed vibe but whatever it is just keeps me coming back. I've been out to a couple of the outer islands and explored by car and then back into Waikiki for some retail therapy!

River Cruises- Want luxury - try a river cruise! There is absolutely nothing like a cruise along the calm waters of a river, visiting unique and cute destinations every day. I was lucky enough to sail the Rhine with Uniworld and honestly, I can't rave about it enough. Truly a boutique experience with every little thing taken care of. The ships are beautifully decorated, the beds super-comfortable and the food onboard is divine. I was particularly impressed by the thoughtfulness of my male cabin steward to replace my make-do vase full of tulips with a real vase and on day 3 the bar staff asking me if I wanted a vodka or bubbly for my pre-dinner drink having had bubbly the first night and vodka and cranberry juice the next night.

Alaska- the last frontier - bigger than Texas even! This is an amazing state to visit and I'm not just talking about cruising. I've been lucky enough to travel from Anchorage via Denali to Fairbanks and experienced lots of sightseeing in all three places including up to the Arctic Circle and driving back on the same road the Ice Road Truckers take. I've also organized an amazing fishing trip for a client on the Kenai that he wants to repeat one day and an overland trip from Anchorage through to Skagway via Denali, Fairbanks, over the Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, down to Whitehorse to finish in Skagway. It was great fun to plan this with him and work out how and where to stay in each place.

My recently completed return trip to Spain was successful. The booking process with the H. O. T. agent at Papamoa was straightforward, seamless. Charlotte was professional and took the potential stress away, from what was to be rather a tough visit to family. Sincere thanks to the team. I highly recommend the team at House of Travel, Papamoa
