Our relationship with the Christchurch City office of House of Travel commenced 3yrs ago in the middle of lockdown AND what a breeze it has been. Kyla, our travel consultant was on the point with every query, change of plans and willingness to accommodate our needs as we progressed to departure date. Then whilst on the other side of the world, additional "e tickets" arrived as needed. More business is on the way as we progress 2023. Many thanks team!
