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.

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.
Northern Territory operates 3 hours and 30 minutes behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to adjust to upon arrival.

Nice to meet you! I love traveling with my husband, whether it's hiking the Camino de Santiago, biking through Latvia, or relaxing on beach holidays in places like Greece and Fiji. Recent highlights include cruising Norway and exploring Puglia, Italy—though I’m always guilty of overpacking!

I have always been a lover of travel, family holidays as a child sparked my love of seeing the world. I was born in England, moving to New Zealand with my family at the age of six. Drawn to the outdoors and the natural beauty of the world, I enjoy nothing more than exploring new landscapes, immersing myself in local living or being a major tourist. Whether that’s wondering narrow streets, exploring a big city or lounging on a sun-soaked beach.
In addition to my knowledge of travel, I'm currently training to become a Contiki champ with a passion for adventure and a love of meeting new people, I am eager to help you plan your own exciting Contiki, Top Deck, G-adventures or Intrepid tour and create unforgettable memories.
I was fortunate enough to be sent to Disneyland California and loved every aspect of its adrenaline packed adventure. It is an unforgettable trip and I cant wait to help others book their magical Disney holidays.
With a passion for adventure and a keen eye for detail, I’m always on the lookout for hidden gems, unique experiences and trending destinations. Whether you're looking for a thrill-seeking adventure or a peaceful escape into nature, I have the drive to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.
I have a high passion for travel and helping customers find their dream location. There is so much to learn with travel and experiencing it is the best way to learn!

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.
