Welcome to House of Travel Parnell

The team here at House of Travel Parnell is a little “different” – let me explain!

Over the years we seem to have created a kind of community of customers within the larger Parnell community and it’s this community and the relationships within them that have been the cornerstone of our success.

Sure, we also offer what many travel agents offer – expertise, experience, inspiration, ideas and customer feedback which means we can transform a simple holiday idea into something remarkable and unique to every customer.

But what makes us different, and what we are most proud of, are the efforts we have also put into building long-term, trusting relationships with every customer we encounter. It works, because the better we know them, the better the job we can do on their behalf. 

So if you are looking to transform a holiday idea into something remarkable and uniquely yours, at a competitive price and you like the idea of working with a team that’s a little “different” please give us a call.

Since I was young, I was mad about travel and growing up in Christchurch had my large map pinned to the wall dreaming of where I would want to go to.

What our customers have to say

  • Hello, I want to thank Gavin Rasikaran from HOT Parnell for the fantastic service provided to us during our recent emergency travel overseas. We had to reach out to him late in the evening and he got us all sorted and on a flight early next morning. He was very understanding and helpful when we had a change our itinerary a couple of times while overseas. His kindness helped us immensely during what was a very difficult time overseas. THANK YOU

    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.
