Lovely to meet you

Hi, I’m Sarah—a Matamata local with a passion for making your travel dreams come true!

With over nine years of experience as a travel consultant, I specialise in creating personalised journeys that leave lasting memories. Working remotely from Matamata, I combine local charm with global expertise, bringing the world right to your doorstep.

Travel is not just my profession—it’s my passion. As an avid explorer, I’ve fallen in love with some incredible destinations. London has captured my heart with its royal landmarks, from the grandeur of Buckingham Palace to the storied Tower of London. Navigating the city on the iconic Underground is a breeze, making every corner of this vibrant city accessible. As a lifelong Harry Potter fan, visiting the Cotswolds and exploring filming locations like Lacock Abbey Cloisters (aka Hogwarts!) was pure magic.

In Asia, my adventures have taken me to many countries, but the Philippines stands out. Swimming with whale sharks and soaking up the island vibes were unforgettable experiences. It’s a destination rich in culture, beauty, and value—a must-see!

When it’s time to unwind, I love nothing more than a relaxing resort holiday. Picture this: a good book, a cocktail in hand, and the laid-back charm of the South Pacific. As a new mum, I’ve developed a knack for finding the best family-friendly resorts. Our recent family holiday to Fiji was a dream! We stayed at the Outrigger, and it was absolutely faBULAous—perfect for little ones and parents alike.

Whether you’re craving a peaceful beach retreat, an exhilarating adventure, or a family escape, I’m here to make it happen. My goal? To craft a travel experience tailored just for you, full of unforgettable moments and stress-free planning.

Let’s turn your travel dreams into reality. Life’s short—let’s make sure your story is one worth watching. 

Ready to explore? I can’t wait to help you plan your next journey!

My favourite holiday memories

  • London & UK
    Sarah Jeffries

    One of my favourite places, I would go back to London in a heartbeat. I love the history, the Royalty and the beautiful old buildings. The underground system is fascinating and is such a great mode of zipping your way around the city. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and seeing some filming sights along the way was really cool – I got to walk in the “Hogwarts” school corridors which are the cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral, this was a highlight for me

What my customers have to say

  • Sarah made booking our trip super easy. She took our original ideas then used her expertise and insight to build on them. Thanks to Sarah our trip will be way better than if we have had booked it ourselves.

  • Sarah was friendly to deal with and was great at communicating.
  • Sarah was really great. Explained and organized everything so well. She gave us a lot of confidence with her knowledge and abilities within the travel industry which is what you need when you are about to spend a lot of money on an overseas trip. Also the new House of Travel office in Matamata is a great move forward and I'm sure will get good support from the locals with Sarah at the ' helm'.
