Welcome to House of Travel Prestons

Welcome to the newest HOT store in Christchurch – House of Travel Prestons in Marshland.

After merging the Shirley HOT store with the Merivale HOT store in 2020, the owner-operators Lisa Hutchison and Nicky de Clifford were always committed to re-opening a store back in the area.  After a very busy few years travel is back and Kiwi’s are jetting abroad in large numbers.  Due to this demand the time is now right to invest and engage with our local communities.

We have located our new store in the growing area of Marshland – shop 10, 5 Prestons Park Drive.  We are set to open on the 19th of February 2024.

At House of Travel we are committed to working with our clients and being able to offer a tailored travel solution to meet their needs.  Travel is never “cookie cutter” and we like to ensure that each holiday is planned with care.  Our experienced team of consultants will take time to sit down with our clients, listen to their needs, offer recommendations and guidance to ensure your holiday is everything they had dreamed of…

In this day and age having a point of contact while travelling overseas is crucial.  At House of Travel we are here for our clients all the way.  We have a dedicated 24/7 emergency assistance line and in the event of a hiccup while away we can step in to assist.   

We are very excited to be opening our new store and we look forward to welcoming you in store soon.

I decided to be a travel agent after getting home from my OE. I lived in Scotland & travelled around Europe – on my own & on a coach. It was amazing & I knew I wanted to help others have their own adventures & experiences. Now I get to do this everyday.

Flying by in your Ferrari won't let you enjoy the views. Slow down and take it in with a 2-wheeled wonder.
