House of Travel Nelson

HOT Nelson highlights

Weddings in the Cook Islands
The Cooks is our number one Wedding destination, with three of our staff having married there, we know it pretty well.

The Big OE
We are a great bunch of travellers and we have all done our “Right of passage” the good old Kiwi O.E. If you are thinking of heading off and you are not sure where to start then come and have a catch up. We can tell you the best and cheapest way to get to the UK. The best way to save money on your Contiki or Top Deck Tours and all the dramas of UK bank accounts, IRD numbers. You know all that other non sexy essential stuff you need to know.

Cruise Holidays (Big Ship, little Ship we know the best ones to pick)
We love to cruise and think it’s the most amazing way to see the world. Some of the world’s best cities are built right on the Ocean, so what better way to see them than from a floating hotel… Takes all the stress out of travel, plus someone else takes care of all the cooking, cleaning and planning the entertainments for you… We love holidays on water and have experienced first-hand some of the world’s best cruise ships, river boats, Feluccas down the Nile & canal boats in the France and UK.

Africa Safari’s & Overland Trips
When it comes to a continent like Africa, where do you start to plan… Our advice is come in and have a chat with Brendon. He has roamed all over the vast continent and knows it like his own backyard. So if you are wanting a Gorilla Trek, a wildlife Safari, or a Truck adventure across the whole continent, this is the best place to start.

Touring UK & Europe
Our team have travelled all over the UK & Europe we have taken coach tours, cruises, trains, busses, self-drive and yes ok even hitch hiked. No matter what your UK/Europe budget is, from backpacker to Luxury Glamper, then we have an option for you and a consultant that can meet your needs. Let us match you up today so we can help you plan that holiday of a lifetime.

Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar
Our team has had a long love affair with Indochina so it will be no surprise to hear that so many of us have been there. Brendon, Susan and Fiona all love the destination and have wandered from North, South, East & West, by land, bike, train, river and sea. We specialise in small tailor made journeys so bring your wish list, or an open mind and we can fulfil your Indochina dreams, with a ton of great suggestions that you didn’t know you didn’t know 

Family Holidays
We all have kids and we all love to Travel, so that makes us experts right!! We know that all families are different and all have different needs, different budgets so we don’t believe in trying to squeeze you all in to the same Family holiday package. Let us stretch your minds with amazing family holidays, to new destinations or holiday options, you may not have even thought of. We also have great family packages to the traditional favourites of Disneyland, Phuket, Fiji, Cook Islands, Vanuatu and the great Aussie Gold Coast.

Groups & Team Travel
Travelling with a Group can be so much fun, team sporting events, family reunions, special anniversary events, sporting events and musical concerts. Through our sister company Golden Tickets we can access tickets to a lot of Global events you thought were sold out.. We can also advise you on how to get Free Places for your group, fund raising ideas and yes we even have great group deals on Cruise Lines. Talk to Fiona in the first instance she is our Groups Guru and can tell you how to start putting it all together…

Fly/Drive Holidays
Who doesn’t dream about cruising the open road in the convertible, with the top down and the wind in their hair or heading off along Route 66 in that monster camper van!!
We love to self-drive and we are more than happy to help you plan the best driving route so you don’t miss any of the best attractions on the way. We even have a great addition to our House of Travel App that includes attractions and sightseeing options to show you what is available around you. Talk to us today about Fly/Drive packages to Aussie, the USA, Canada. Or for great savings on longer hires ask us about holiday leasing cars in Europe.
