Lovely to meet you

Hi, my name’s Gareth, I’m originally from the UK and moved to New Zealand 10 years ago which is when I started working in travel. Holidays and travel have always been a huge part of my life, from family holidays in Europe as a boy, whether that was hiring a Gite in France or heading out to the Greek Islands because my Dad decided to learn Greek. So many great memories of immersing ourselves in the local cultures and cuisines started me on a real love of experiencing the world!


As I grew up I knew I needed to see more of the world, so I saved up and took a year to travel through Asia and all round Australia, I truly believe this is one of the most important thing a young person can do to find out who they really are and to open their eyes to what’s out there in the world.


Since discovering how much I loved to travel I’ve now set foot on every continent apart from Antarctica and have so many great memories that will always be with me. I love to be part of creating holidays and experiences for my clients and helping in any way I can to make great memories that will live with them forever. So, whether it’s a little family holiday, a mid winter getaway or big bucket list trips, then please get in touch, I would love to add my experiences and learned knowledge to make your holiday special and create some amazing memories for you.

My favourite holiday memories

  • Langkawi
    Langkawi Gareth Davies

    Langkawi, one of my new favourite places and what amazing views from the top of the Gunung Machinchang after taking the cable car up the mountain.  Get there nice and early to avoid the crowds.

  • Adelaide
    Adelaide South Australia

    The D'Arenburg Cube, bringing surrealism to wineries.  Absolutely crazy concept that works perfectly.  Not just great wine and food but also a Daliesque inspired art gallery.  But my favourite part here was getting to make your own wine blend to take home and enjoy. 

  • Buenos Aires

    El Ateneo Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires has to be any book lovers idea of paradise.

  • Broadbeach

What my customers have to say

  • Gareth co-ordinated an itinerary that was not especially straight forward, involving different airlines around the world. He listened to our requirements and delivered accordingly. He also recommended accommodation when asked and gave advice on different Visa requirements. Gareth was there when we needed help while away on holiday and went above and beyond to help us.

  • GD booked this trip for me in a hurry got it all sorted so I could then buy the corporate hospitality tickets for the sporting event. the accommodation / flights were all via Qantas. I am not a Qantas customer by choice but we had great flights, great service despite the going there flights being late. Accommodation - there was not a lot of choice but GD found us a hotel that turned out to be perfect for location and we were able to walk to and from plus all there eateries for both stops on the itinerary.

  • Gareth has always been able to tailor the flights to my specs,. Always finding great deals for the requested days and always with my preferred carrier. Always responding to email enquiries within the day and has always gone out of his way to ensure my connecting flights go as smoothly as possible, including sorting out rental cars at the arrival destination. Gareth has always been a pleasure to correspond with and has never let me down. I can only thank him for his continued efforts over the last year.
