Indulge in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives

If you’re planning a honeymoon, have a significant anniversary to celebrate, or simply just want to impress your other half, the exquisitely stunning islands of the Maldives is the place to go!

These resort islands in the Indian Ocean are often frequented by the ‘rich and famous’ so you too can live like a VIP and escape to complete and utter secluded indulgence with an over-water bungalow stay.  Don’t think about the price! 

The Maldives is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so a generous dash of indulgence is part of the Maldives experience, so make the most of it!

“Mesmerising, magical & indulgent. Live like a movie star and escape to paradise! Impress your other half with a private dinner on a candle lit jetty.”

Kia Ora/Namaste/ Sat Sri Akal and Hello to fellow travelers and adventurers! Welcome to the world of travel. 

Originally, from the colourful landscapes of India and now completely wrapped in New Zealand's breathtaking beauty, I'm excited to introduce myself as your dedicated travel consultant with 8 years of experience. My passion for travel inspired an interest in me at a young age, that encouraged me to pursue a master's degree in travel and tourism administration.

Being an Indian woman, I have seen both New Zealand's and India's vibrant cultures and amazing natural beauty. With a passion for exploration and cultural exchange, I bring a unique blend of experiences to craft personalized and memorable travel journeys. 

Whether you dream of exploring the bustling markets of Delhi, relaxing on the tranquil beaches of Goa, or embarking on an adventure through the majestic mountains of New Zealand, my goal is to turn your travel dreams into reality. From navigating the complexities of international flights to discovering hidden gems off the beaten path and the roads less travelled, I am here to ensure your travels are seamless and filled with joyful moments.

Let’s create memories that will last a lifetime, because with the right guidance, the world truly becomes your oyster. 

The world awaits - let's explore it together!

As the proud Owner Operator of House of Travel Nelson, I lead a small but passionate team dedicated to taking care of all your travel needs.

I primarily work on the Orbit World Travel side of our business, specialising in business and group travel. But as a traveller myself, I love chatting with customers and the team about their upcoming adventures — there’s nothing better than sharing in the excitement of a great trip!

Travel has played a huge role in my life. From years of family holidays to the Gold Coast and Fiji, where the kids spent hours in the pool or on the playground, to unforgettable highlights like Disneyland (they were 10 and 12 — the perfect age!), followed by a relaxing week in Mexico. These days, with older kids, we’re seeking more adventure. Our recent trip to Vietnam was a standout — from the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful beauty of Hoi An's lanterns and Halong Bay. If you haven’t been, it’s a must! 

Next on my list? Europe. While I’ve done a couple of quick trips in the past, I’m keen to take the time to explore the diverse cultures and rich history of the places I’ve spent years helping others discover.

Whether your trip is big or small, come in and see us at House of Travel Nelson — we’ll make sure it’s your best one yet.
