Flight time.
Getting to Northern Territory from New Zealand takes about 3 hours.
Epic landscapes, vibrant culture and unforgettable moments
Step into the breathtaking vastness of the Northern Territory... the true heart of Australia’s legendary Outback. Overflowing with iconic wonders like the majestic Uluru, the mysterious domes of Kata Tjuta, and the lush wilderness of Kakadu National Park, you'll soon see why this region is unlike anywhere else on earth.
Lose yourself in the World Heritage-listed wonders of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park or explore Kakadu’s remarkable rock art galleries, each telling ancient stories from one of the world's oldest living cultures. From the awe-inspiring colours of Arnhem Land's sunsets to the vibrant traditions on display throughout the region, every moment here is truly magical.
Whether you're wandering Darwin’s tropical city vibes, discovering Alice Springs' authentic outback spirit, or marvelling at the iconic red beauty of Alice Springs’ sunburnt landscapes, the Northern Territory offers something extraordinary for everyone. It’s a place where time slows down and lifelong memories are created.

Best time to go.
The best times to visit the Northern Territory are during the dry season (May to October). These months provide warm days, cooler nights, and minimal rainfall, ideal for exploring national parks, outback landscapes, and cultural sites.
Time difference.
Northern Territory operates 3 hours and 30 minutes behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to adjust to upon arrival.

Saltwater Country & Culture
Journey through the remote cultures and coastlines of the
Tiwi Islands, Arnhem Land, the Gulf, Cape York and the Torres Strait.
This voyage journeys deep into remote saltwater country, engaging with communities and celebrating people and culture well beyond art centre visits. Here, ancient knowledge offers enduring solutions to modern challenges, as personal stories reveal Indigenous agency, ingenuity and the cultural skills that continue to sustain thriving communities.
Alongside these rich cultural connections, the voyage explores an environmental tapestry. From internationally recognised wetlands to striking red volcanic landscapes, and onward to geologically diverse coastlines alive with marine and bird life.

My first big trip was off to Camp America many years ago. As soon as I stepped foot on the first big international plane, the travel bug bit me and I never wanted to stop! Eventually I had to get a "real job" and what better job than as a travel agent.
Since then I've enjoyed sending many more people on their first big exciting trip overseas, on family holidays, honeymoons, reunions, road trips, girls trips and any other reason you can think of for travel!

With nearly two decades at House of Travel, I’m always dreaming of the next adventure. The more I explore, the longer my bucket list grows! The thrill of planning a new journey and learning from each experience excites me.
Discussing travel daily is my passion, I love helping clients realize their travel dreams and living vicariously through their experiences.
Getting to know my clients and understanding what matters most to them is something I truly enjoy. This insight allows me to craft itineraries that are as unique and special as the travelers themselves.
There's nothing more satisfying than a client returning with tales of their adventures. I love hearing their stories, as each journey is different—there's no one-size-fits-all approach to travel.
For me, travel offers the opportunity to learn more about the world around us. With every journey, I find new perspectives, cultures, and places to love.
Travel isn’t just about the places we visit—it's about the growth we experience along the way.

I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.
I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.
It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.
