Welcome to House of Travel Timaru
House of Travel Timaru is very proud to be the first travel store to open in 1987 under the House of Travel brand!
The business is owned by Darryl Sandri and he was recently joined by Emma Chappell, Brenda Taylor and Jasmine Camplin as he starts to rebuild the Timaru team post Covid.
From reconnecting on family resort holidays, to local weekend getaways, experiential cruise escapes and that big UK Europe adventure, we're here to help!
The best holidays are created together.
