City vibes and sunny escapes
From Melbourne’s eclectic laneways buzzing with street art and hidden cafes to Sydney’s sun-soaked beaches, you’ll find so many amazing experiences on offer in every city.
Head to a rooftop bar in Brisbane, or get a taste of the country’s multi-cultural influences at Adelaide’s Central Market. If nature and wildlife is more your style, take a stroll through Kings Park in Perth. Queensland has a piece of paradise to suit everyone – it is truly like no other place on earth. From seemingly endless coastlines to the great expanses of the outback, the world famous Great Barrier Reef and an array of luscious rainforests.
Travel to the tropical north for wonders of the world and natural serenity, or head south to the state’s capital hub where you can embrace city life and surf on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast – definitely the makings of the perfect sunshine holiday.
And don’t forget to discover the four states that are filled with diverse and iconic Australian experiences that are renowned the world over: South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Whether you’ve got two weeks to see the sights or six months to cover these vast states in a campervan, here you’ll find everything you need to know about the places to go and things to do.
Our favourite Aussie destinations
Gold Coast
Travel to the tropical north for world wonders or head south to the state’s capital hub where you can surf on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast – definitely the makings of the perfect sunshine holiday.
Sunshine Coast
From the bougie beach vibes of Noosa to Mooloolaba’s foodie scene and the relaxed charm of Caloundra, each coastal town has its own tale to tell. But the real surprises lie just inland: rainforest waterfalls to chase, volcanic peaks to hike, and artisan villages to explore.
Tropical North Queensland
Home of the oldest rainforest in the world, Tropical North Queensland is one of a kind. From serene waters and the Great Barrier Reef to wildlife and rainforest, there's everything for everyone here.
Sydney
In New South Wales you can immerse yourself in everything that is classically Australian, from stunning coastline and awe-inspiring natural wonders to rich history and culture.
Melbourne
Melbournians can’t move for art, culture and hip happenings. It’s true that they’re pros at providing new and novel things to see, do and try out. For traditionalists, the National Gallery of Victoria has been wow-ing art-seekers since 1861.
Tasmania
Take in all those towering forests, deserted beaches, historic sites, beautiful mountains and meet the Tasmanian wildlife – perhaps even the iconic Tasmanian devil.
South Australia
It is both cultural and cool, and its superb shopping, beaches, history and restaurants are not to be missed. It seems like all roads lead to wine and food in South Australia.
Western Australia
If you’re looking to step into a world of awe-inspiring beauty and discover experiences found nowhere else on Earth, then Western Australia is for you.
Northern Territory
Inhabiting much of Australia’s central mainland and central northern regions, the Northern Territory is one of the last remaining genuine ‘Outback’ destinations in Australia.
Australian Rail
Great Southern Rail offers journeys beyond into the wide expanse of the Australian Outback with The Ghan and Indian Pacific. Experience the very best Australia has to offer in a level of comfort only rail travel can provide.

House of Travel Papamoa
Hi, I’m Jo and I joined the House of Travel Papamoa team in April 2022 not long after the borders opened and it’s fair to say it’s been crazy busy ever since! No two days are the same and I thrive working in a fast-paced environment. I have been working in Travel for around 10 years and started in January 2009 at Flight Centre Mt Maunganui and then moved to Auckland in 2011 to step into a management role to open their new retail store in Royal Oak. I then moved back to the Tauranga area in early 2013 and opened the Flight Centre in Bayfair. Opening two of Flight Centre’s stores gave me an incredible learning experience and insight into building a business and taking it to incredible heights! I was also in charge of training multiple new to the industry staff members. Before Travel I worked in banking for 4 and half years both in the retail branch and the business banking team.
I have great attention to detail, excellent communication skills and am down to earth, friendly and approachable. I love meeting new people and building relationships with my clients. I love putting together itineraries and working closely with you to find your perfect fit.
I'm passionate about travel to Canada and the UK. As I lived in Vancouver for 6 months and London for nearly 3 years on Working Holidays. I’ve also spent 3 weeks in Egypt and over 6 weeks in South America. I’ve travelled on my own to Asia and then jumped on an Intrepid Cambodia tour. I have also done a 28 day Topdeck Camping trip around Europe and travelled independently using Eurail passes and the Eurostar. Along with many other exciting adventures!
My partner Duncan and I
have two children, a son 10 and daughter 9. We have been on family
holidays to Bali and Fiji, staying at Plantation Island and the Naviti on the
Coral Coast. Duncan and I also experienced a Viking ocean cruise (adults only)
and absolutely loved it! I have just returned from visiting Darwin, Litchfield
and Kakadu National Parks in the Northern Territory, taking the Ghan from
Darwin to Adelaide. I was very fortunate to take a scenic flight over
Uluru and Kata Tjuta – just breathtaking!
We live locally in the Papamoa Hills and own a lifestyle block. We love the outdoors and taking advantage of the many wonderful things on offer here in the Tauranga area.
I’d love to help you plan your next trip and look forward to hearing from you.
