What our customers have to say

  • We worked with Kim from House of Travel Takanini to book a cruise and she was AMAZING! I have never had a travel agent as friendly, efficient and knowledgable as Kim. I will be using her for all holiday bookings in future based off my experience with her.

  • This is the second time we've had Kim sort our Travel Plans and I can't say enough, she is a Super Star. Nothing is an issue. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Ever tried airplane karaoke?

    Swifties are taking the world by storm and especially Kiwis. Taylor Swift has finished one of her shows in Melbourne where Kiwis flying back home didn't let the energy dial down just yet. Passengers onboard the 4 hour NZ128 flight back home from Melbourne had one of Taylor's hits "Shake it Off" playing during the flight with the Eras concert goers were singing and standing during the flight.

    4 wheels or 2? Here's one of the best destinations to explore using a scooter!

    When you think Italy you probably think Ferrari. Well, we think you should choose... Vespa! Italy is home to one of the most historically beautiful countries and monuments in the world. Flying by in your Ferrari won't let you enjoy the views. Slow down and take it in with a 2-wheeled wonder. The urban streets filled with culture and the Italian countryside, either of which are perfectly suited for the iconic moped and is definitely a must-do on your bucket list.
