Australia getaways: City breaks, beach holidays and hinterland escapes.


Explore Australia’s iconic cities, white-sand beaches and tranquil hinterland.

From the eclectic laneways of Melbourne to the golden shores of Sydney, an Australia holiday offers an incredible mix of culture, coastlines and city experiences. Discover hidden cafés, street art and boutique shopping, then swap city streets for coastal walks, harbour views and laidback beach days.

Across the country, each city brings something unique. Sip cocktails at rooftop bars in Brisbane, explore global flavours at Adelaide Central Market or unwind in nature at Kings Park in Perth, one of the world’s largest inner‑city parks. Whether you’re planning a short city break or a longer holiday to Australia, you’ll find experiences to suit every travel style.

For sun‑seekers, Queensland holidays deliver some of Australia’s most sought‑after escapes. From the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays to tropical islands and lush rainforests, it’s a region made for relaxing and exploring. Head north for tropical beauty and natural wonders or travel south to buzzing coastal hubs like the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, known for surf beaches, family‑friendly attractions and year‑round sunshine.

Beyond the east coast, there’s even more to discover. Travel to Australia isn’t complete without exploring the diversity of South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Think world‑class wine regions, rugged coastlines, unique wildlife and unforgettable Outback landscapes.

Whether you’re planning a two‑week itinerary or an extended Australian road trip, Australia offers endless opportunities to explore, unwind and experience something new - all in one trip.

House of Travel Tauranga: The Crossing

As your personal holiday builder I am here to take the stress out of your next holiday. Be it a family trip over the Tasman or romantic getaway to one of the sun soaked Pacific Islands, or maybe a bucket list destination trip. 

I have had 10 years in the travel industry -made up mostly of being an International Flight Attendant. I have been lucky enough to travel to many places and experience many cultures. But there is always somewhere new to go!

I want to take the stress out of the planning so you can focus on the excitement of the trip. I am highly organized and like to ensure everything has been thought of and accounted for. Communicating clearly along the way with you so you feel confident and reassured.

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.
