Welcome to House of Travel Blenheim
We don't know what we don't know…
Since 1987 we've been adapting in a fast changing world of travel and here we are now finding our role to be more important to our customers than ever.
They have found the old adage of ‘we don't know what we don't know’ hits the nail right on the head, because there are still many traps in the world of travel awaiting the unwary.
Often small things like the hotel that looks so beautiful on a web site being a kilometer from the beach or your week away in a romantic resort clashing with local school holidays.
It’s our experience that makes the difference and ensures your holiday is as good as it could possibly be. And when you are away we go with you.
Whether it be unforeseen illness or dealing with one of those sudden event the world sometimes throws at us we will be with you and ease the dislocation of a sudden change of plan.
We are not anonymous but are real people who work hard to build customer relationships and to contribute to our community. Read on and find out what makes us tick and how we can add real value to your travel plans. “no need for a watch in the Cook Islands - time stands still!“ -

Our travel stories
Postcard from Africa
Was fascinating watching a leopard come out of nowhere and take down an impala meters away from our vehicle! Out guide who had worked in Africa for 4 years had never seen a leopard kill, so we were definitely in the right place at the right time.
