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.

What I love most about my job is helping others make their travel dreams a reality! It may sound cheesy, but it really is true!
I started out back in 2002 & have enjoyed travels through South East Asia, the Pacific, Australia, USA, the UK & Europe!
After having my son just before our first Covid lockdown in 2020, I took a bit of a hiatus but came back to House of Travel in a support roll for the lovely Petra in April 2024.
Once a travel agent, always a travel agent!
Petra and I work together to weave these dreams for our lovely customers, and I look forward to helping you with yours too!
