House of Travel Whanganui

Hey there!

I’m Laura, the smiley face you’ll spot as soon as you walk through our office door. With a serious case of wanderlust, I’ve done it all —lived abroad, cruised the seas, island-hopped, and even cruised around South Africa on the back of a motorbike. But let me tell you about my ultimate love affair Africa!

For three incredible years, I bounced between Australia and South Africa, exploring every corner of the country, often on the back of a motorbike. I’ve sat with elephants for hours, watched big cats hunting, and slept under the stars in the middle of a game reserve. My heart belongs to the wild, and if you’re an animal lover like me, trust me, Africa will capture yours too.

Nothing lights me up more than helping people experience this magic. The more I learn, the more excited I get about sharing these adventures with you! Whether it’s a dream safari, a relaxing cruise, or an off-the-beaten-path escape, I’m here to bring your travel dreams to life.

Let’s make your adventure happen!

Plan your Dream Europe holiday with our handy guides

Destination spotlight: France is full of little pleasures

Whether you’re chasing culture in the cities, bliss by the coast, or pure countryside calm, France will always have you saying encore, s’il vous plaît.

Business, Premium, Suites: What it’s really like flying up the front

Flying up front comes with big benefits beyond the seat.

The perks that turn flying into part of the holiday

A trip to Europe is always exciting, but the journey itself can be just as memorable.

Best stopover flights from New Zealand to Europe

Why rush through your journey to Europe when you can add another adventure along the way?

Cheap flights to Europe: Why the lowest fare isn’t always the smartest

Low fares often hide extra fees because budget tickets can exclude essentials like checked baggage, seat selection or meals.

How to travel around Italy?

Europe's most magical train rides

Whether you’re a slow travel convert or chasing that once-in-a-lifetime bucket list moment, these iconic rail journeys will make you fall in love with the journey itself.

Living like a local

This is about heartbeats not highlights — getting your hands doughy in an Italian kitchen, hearing old village stories over a pint, or wandering a backstreet in Portugal that’s not even on Google Maps.

Up-and-Coming Corners of Europe

Beach lovers or history buffers? Early risers or night crawlers? No two travellers are the same. Except for the one question posed by all those who travel. So where to next?

UK and Europe: Taking the scenic route

Find your sea legs or hang on to your land legs. Discover Europe by wheel, rail or sail.

Cruising in a Winter Wonderland

Sail through Europe’s storybook towns, where twinkling lights, mulled wine and magical markets make for the ultimate Christmas escape.

Italy: Food, Glorious Food!

If you’re heading to Italy, come hungry. From silky carbonara in Rome to truffle-dusted risotto in the north, these are the bites worth booking your flights around.

Cruise: The HOT List

Here’s what’s making waves in the world of cruise holidays right now

On a Solo'ish adventure

Got an inner urge to get out and explore, but none of your travel buddies can make it happen? One big misconception is that you must be single if you’re travelling alone.

The roads best travelled in Europe

We believe Europe is best discovered along its tiny lanes and scenic coastal roads. House of Travel Johnsonville’s Danny Hooper picks four of his favourite roadies.

Milestone celebration holiday ideas

Whether you’ve got a big birthday coming up, planning a 3G holiday (aka a fun trip with three generations), or making the most of your family time before the kids head out into the world, we’ve got you covered!
