Discover a different Australia
Our favourite Active Holiday experiences
If you like your holidays with a bit of heart-pumping adventure, Australia delivers in spades. Cycle through world-class wine regions, coastlines and countryside on a guided bike tour, where every trail comes with views (and often, vineyard stops).
Lace up your boots for the Great Walks of Australia – from the rugged wilderness of Tasmania’s Bay of Fires to the dramatic coastline of the 12 Apostles. These guided multi-day hikes combine nature, comfort, and cultural connection in equal measure.
Pack the clubs and tee off on one of the Great Golf Courses of Australia, playing championship greens set against dramatic coastal cliffs, desert backdrops or rolling fairways.
Whether you’re chasing challenge or just looking to move a little more while you explore, Australia’s wide-open spaces and legendary landscapes are ready when you are.

House of Travel Nelson
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.
