A meal to remember in the Daintree Rainforest
Australia
Experience food for the soul. Imagine a fully immersive rainforest candle-lit dining experience under the canopy of one of the world’s oldest surviving tropical rainforests. Lush tropical produce and unique native ingredients blended with rich Indigenous culture and storytelling. It’s truly magical. This is Flames of the Forest in the Daintree, Australia’s only rainforest dining experience tucked away in a fairy tale pocket of natural beauty.

Having spent 40+ years, 30 owning my own HOT outlet here in the heart of Wellington, in this exciting and ever changing industry you could say that extraordinary resilience is at the top of my skite sheet given the many and varying challenges that have faced travellers over the years.
My clients and colleagues describe me as a passionate people person, who endeavours to get the best out of a traveller's investment.
It is important for me to be inclusive of everyone within a travelling party, to hear the voice of each traveller, and ensure everyone's wishes are met.
Having been to all continents bar Antarctica which is high on my list, I have also travelled in all styles from budget overland backpacking to luxury cruises which allows me to relate to all clients and work with you for what is best for you.

Lovely to meet you! My love for travel began early—at 19, I
left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London to start my OE, and I’ve never
looked back. I spent eight years living overseas, including four incredible
years in London, where I explored Europe extensively. (Barcelona still has my
heart!)
I began my travel career in Melbourne in 2004, and I knew I’d found my dream job. Even now, I still smile every day coming to work—I truly LOVE what I do.
Helping clients plan their adventures brings me so much joy.
I specialise in point-to-point Europe itineraries, and I’m especially
passionate about tours and cruising. Whether it’s your first trip or your
tenth, I’m here to make your journey smooth, exciting, and unforgettable from
start to finish.
I’m known for being friendly, bubbly, and a great listener. I’ll take the time to understand your needs and offer thoughtful advice and suggestions to make your trip the best it can be.
Now based on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and our three young children, I understand the #mumlife juggle—and the importance of taking time out for a well-earned holiday! Having travelled to over 40 countries, I can’t wait to share my experience with you.

Travel has always ignited a deep passion within me. I’ve been
incredibly fortunate to wander across distant lands and hidden gems, and my
longing to explore continues to grow with every trip. After my time working in
Florida, I've returned to the U.S. multiple times, and Philadelphia holds a
special place in my heart—alive with history, bursting with vibrant culture,
and so wonderfully easy to discover.
My journeys have taken me to London, Egypt, Jordan, and more
recently, I’ve embraced the joy of exploring closer to home. I’ve been
captivated by the awe-inspiring landscapes of Uluru and the Red Centre and
mesmerized by the beauty of Heron Island in the southern reaches of the Great
Barrier Reef. I’ve also fallen in love with the energetic pulse of Sydney and
the breathtaking northwestern wonders of Tasmania—visiting Launceston, Cradle
Mountain (even in summer, don’t forget your coat—the cold can surprise you),
and Strahan.
As the dedicated Australia and Pacific specialist at our office,
these adventures have not only broadened my horizons but have fuelled my
passion to share these incredible experiences with others. I eagerly look
forward to discovering more extraordinary destinations, immersing myself in
diverse cultures, and creating unforgettable memories—wholeheartedly sharing
that joy and passion with everyone I meet!
