From the first travel I did as a teenager I have wanted to travel the world, experience the food, absorb the culture and learn the history!!!

I have always been passionate about creating the ultimate holidays and feel that makes me the best planner of your holidays that I can be!! 

I had been selling travel for over 20 years when I felt something else was needed and to the leap to be the retail manger of House of Travel Papamoa. I feel I have never looked back and enjoy leading a fantastic group of people!!

I love my job!!! I love the fact that no one holiday is ever the same and also thrive on a challenge of a complex itinerary, round the world flight or something out of the norm. 

I think the benefit you get with me is the experience I have had planning and travel and the places I have travelled. 

I have travelled extensively and in particular done a lot around New Zealand, Australia, South Pacific Islands, USA and Europe and find that travel opens your mind to another world full of new experiences, new tastes and an appreciation for life in general. 

I have a rule that every trip I do I need to pick one unique thing to do on holiday that is un-usual or you would not do on another holiday .... I have been hot air ballooning, have been on a segway tour, have helicoptered out to an island etc.

My Travel Tips

  • I am a bit of a IT geek so always travel with an adaptor that has USB ports for my IWatch, iPhone and iPad. 
  • Have a store of great apps that help with travel, packing, maps, closest toilet etc.!!
  • Always keep in touch with your travel agent so they can keep you up to date with deals that are out for your next holiday.
  • Cash passports are a MUST as safe and easy way to travel. 

The best holidays are definitely created together so would love to get you in for an appointment and have a discussion about your travel dreams.

You know how some people collect handbags or shoes, well I have a love of collecting passport stamps! I developed a bit of a passion for adventure travel since working in the States at a summer camp in my early 20’s. I have travelled to over 40 countries, doing everything from eating scorpions in China, snorkelling the Silfra fissure in Iceland, to skydiving in Namibia.

FAQS

What is the best time to visit Bali?

The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season (April to October), when you’ll enjoy sunny days, lower humidity and temperatures around 27 to 31°C. This is ideal for beach time, sightseeing and outdoor adventures.
The wet season (November to March) brings short, heavy tropical showers - usually in the afternoon, so you can still travel, just plan around the rain.
For Kiwis, shoulder months like May, June and September offer great weather with fewer crowds and better value.

 

How long should I spend in Bali?

Most travellers from New Zealand spend 7 to 10 days in Bali to properly explore beaches like Kuta and inland areas like Ubud.
If you’re short on time, 5 nights works for a relaxing beach break, while 10 to 14 days lets you combine Bali with nearby islands like Nusa Penida or the Gili Islands.

 

Where should I go in Bali for the first time?

For first‑time visitors, a mix of destinations works best:

  • Seminyak or Legian offer dining, beach clubs and great shopping
  • Ubud lets you experience culture, rice terraces and wellness
  • Nusa Dua is renowned for it’s relaxing resorts and calm beaches
  • Uluwatu boasts limestone cliffs, epic surf and stunning sunset views

This combination gives you a well-rounded Bali experience.

 

Is Bali a good holiday destination for Kiwis?

Yes, Bali is one of the most popular overseas destinations for New Zealand travellers thanks to its affordable luxury, warm climate, direct flights from Auckland and wide range of experiences from beaches to culture.

Do I need a visa for Bali from New Zealand?

Where is the best area to stay in Bali?

It depends on your travel style. Seminyak is perfect for foodies, beach clubs and shopping, while Canggu offers trendy cafes and epic surf.

Beachwear is fine at resorts and beaches, but not in towns or temples.

 

Do I need travel insurance for Bali?

ATMs are widely available, and cards are accepted in most tourist areas, but carry cash for smaller purchases.
