Luxury glamping in British Columbia
Canada

Hidden so deeply in nature you’ll need a boat or a seaplane to reach it, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers spectacular glamping in beautiful British Columbia. This is not your ordinary ‘camping’!
Nestled between mountain and river, many of the resort’s safari-style tents nudge the waterfront, furnished with antiques and all the glamour of the city, minus the urban chatter. You can do whatever you choose at your very own pace.
Whether that’s a fishing adventure, a wilderness hike, bear watching or white-water rafting amidst pristine views and just the sounds of wildlife. Come nightfall, venture to the dining lodge for meals doused in gastronomic flare, before jumping in the jacuzzi with a night cap. This is luxury glamping at its best!

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.

Why I love travel:
The places I see and the people I meet, travel really is the best way to broaden the mind. It allows you to experience and learn from all cultures and walks of life. Remember life is short, travel often.
My travel tips:
- If you are always early, you are never late.
- Prebook as much as possible before you go and schedule rest days on long trips.
- Live courageously - you miss 100% of the opportunities you don't take.
My top 3 favourite destinations:
- Italy - The food, the history, the people, the stunning coastlines, and mountains. Italy should be on everyone's bucket list.
- USA - With a multitude of cultures to experience and adventures to be had, you could spend your life just in the USA and not see everything.
- Patagonia - A challenge to reach, the landscapes that will great you make every minute of the journey worth the effort.
What's in my suitcase:
- Kindle/E-reader - it is easy to pack, light to carry, and has a long battery life; this is an essential on all my trips.
- Noise cancelling headphones - perfect for noisy flights and airports.
- Travel plug adapter - easy to forget but a must have.

Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel
is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect
and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs.
Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling
extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough
to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my
clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.
