Welcome to House of Travel Alexandra


We are so excited that travel is back up and running again, and if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to get out there and book that trip you’ve always been dreaming of! 

Ashleigh, Jess, Kate and Robbie are all proud Alexandra locals. Their combined extensive knowledge of the industry, along with numerous destinations visited between them all, makes for a smooth and seamless process when assisting you with your travel arrangements. 

Appointments are recommended, so give us a call or flick us an email to arrange a time to pop in store for a chat!

Born & bred here in Alexandra, I set off on my first solo overseas journey (Canada) at the age of 15. This was the beginning of my ever evolving passion for travel.

I'm a proud Central Otago lad born and raised in this fantastic part of New Zealand, after spending a few years living in Dunedin (as well as a year in Ireland) I returned back to Alexandra in 2013 to raise my family with my wife Claire and 4 kids in this fantastic town.

Postcard from Germany

Having lived in London for several years and never making it to Berlin I finally got the opportunity in 2018. A city of two halves.

Postcard from Grand Canyon

The absolute grandness of nature and silence truly commanded my full attention here at the Grand Canyon.

Postcard from Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas

5 Stars. I am 100% pro cruising as holiday destination. There is literally something for everyone. Think fine dining experiences, rock climbing, swimming pools, Broadway quality shows, shopping options, surfing, bumper cars...
