Sunrise, sunset & starlight on the Great Barrier Reef
Australia
The Great Barrier Reef (one of the 7 wonders of the Natural World) needs no introduction. A World Heritage playground just waiting to be explored - experience it above and below the water. Charter a luxury yacht with expert crew, sail your own catamaran or enjoy an all inclusive cruise.
Jump on board a scenic helicopter flight or for something quite incredible, dive beneath the surface or sleep under the sea. Spend a magical night aboard Reefsuite and have a front row seat to the dazzling underwater world, trust us this could be the most memorable night’s sleep you ever have.

Sharon has been with the House of Travel team for 15 years and is known throughout the New Zealand wide team as Shaz. Shaz's 10 years' experience in the groups and events division is invaluable.
Her knowledge of the best seats at the Australian Open, to her contacts for all things Motor Sport makes her an integral part of our team.
A tennis player herself, Shaz has a passion for the sport and having attended many times has valuable information, she can help tick the Grand Slams off your bucket list.
"I love helping all our clients with their dream holiday based around a special event, anywhere in the world I will endeavor to access the best possible tickets for your experience. My motto is to create memories, not things".
Away from the events world, Shaz works in her beauty business.... that is when she isn't on the court.
