Discover wild landscapes, fresh flavours and unforgettable experiences on a Tasmania holiday.
A holiday to Tasmania delivers a refreshingly different Australian experience. Australia’s island state is famous for its unspoiled wilderness, dramatic coastlines, intriguing history and unique wildlife, including the iconic Tasmanian devil. From coastal walks and national parks to vibrant local markets and heritage towns, Tasmania blends natural beauty with culture and charm.
Tasmania is also one of Australia’s standout food destinations. Cool‑climate wines, farm‑fresh produce, artisan cheeses, sweet berries and exceptional seafood are all part of the experience. Whether you’re tasting your way through cellar doors, visiting local farms or enjoying paddock‑to‑plate dining by the water, food plays a central role in any Tasmania holiday.
Thanks to its compact size and scenic roads, Tasmania is perfect for a self‑drive holiday, especially for Kiwi travellers. In a week, you can explore rainforests, beaches, mountains and historic sites, all within easy driving distance. With more time, slow the pace and uncover hidden bays, national parks and charming regional communities.
Adventure and relaxation go hand in hand. Kayak along sheltered coastlines, hike world‑class wilderness trails, take a river cruise or join guided tours that showcase Tasmania’s rugged landscapes. In Hobart, don’t miss MONA - the Museum of Old and New Art - one of Australia’s most talked‑about cultural attractions.
Easy to reach from New Zealand and less crowded than mainland destinations, Tasmania appeals to couples, families and travellers seeking a slower, nature‑focused escape. From food and wine to wild scenery and culture, a holiday to Tasmania offers something truly special.
From wine regions and wilderness to coastal drives and cultural icons, a holiday to Tasmania is whatever you want it to be. Speak to our Tasmania travel specialists and start planning your best holiday ever.

The best times to visit Tasmania are during summer (December to February) and early autumn (March). These periods provide the warmest weather and longer days, perfect for exploring natural landscapes and historic towns.
Hobart is 2 hours behind New Zealand (or 3 hours during daylight saving). This small time difference is easy to adjust to, making for a seamless transition.

"Whether it be cruising, OE's or travelling with a young family my first-hand knowledge will certainly be an asset when planning your winter break, European adventure, or once in a life time dream holiday!"
"Life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better." - Simon Raven
Why I love travel:
Travelling takes us out of our comfort zone and inspires us to experience new things that we otherwise wouldn't in our normal day to day lives. It enriches your life from meeting new people from all walks of life, trying new food from different corners of the world, and humbles you to appreciate the small things in life.

My love for travel began early - at 19, I left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London to start my OE, and I've never looked back. I spent eight years living overseas, including four incredible years in London, where I explored Europe extensively. (Barcelona still has my heart!)
I began my travel career in Melbourne in 2004, and knew I'd found my dream career. Even know, I still smile every day coming to work - I truly LOVE what I do.
I did step away from the travel industry for a few years to raise my family, but the pull of travel was simply too strong. Coming back confirmed what I already knew: there is nothing else I would rather be doing. No two days are ever the same, and helping to create someone's dream holiday is a true privilege.
Helping clients plan their adventures brings me so much joy. I specialize in point-to-point Europe itineraries, and I'm especially passionate about tours and cruising. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a multi-generational family holiday, a tailor-made Europe itinerary or a cruising holiday, I'll work with you to create a trip that fits within your budget and needs.
I pride myself on attention to detail and prompt turnaround times with my work. I believe I also go above and beyond for my clients - many now see me more as a friend, because we've built such strong relationships. Whether it's your first trip or your tenth, I'm here to make your journey smooth, exciting, and unforgettable from start to finish.
I'm known for being friendly, bubbly, and a great listener. I'll take the time to understand your needs and offer thoughtful advice and suggestions to make your trip the best it can be.
I live on our dairy farm in Reporoa with my Husband Mathew and our three young children, who go to school in Rotorua. We are a busy sporting family, so I understand the #mumlife juggle and the importance of taking time out for a well-earned holiday, either as a family or for a lush couples' getaway!
Some of our favourite family trips have been around Vietnam and to the theme parks on the Gold Coast, and next on our list with the kids in Japan. For my husband and I, a favourite recent trip was to Bali - the beachfront cocktails were amazing! Our next couples' getaway is to Langkawi in Malaysia!
Don't just dream about it - lets start planning. Get in touch today and let me turn your travel dreams into your next boarding pass.

I am an adventure seeker with a passion for exploring the world and experiencing everything it has to offer. I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting experiences and have a particular love for small group tours and adventures. Whether it's cruising in the Galapagos Islands or exploring new cities, I love the intimacy and camaraderie that comes with traveling in small groups.
When I'm not adventuring, you can often find me at live sports and events, cheering on my favourite teams and soaking up the excitement of the crowd. Or I'm equally at home soaking up the sun during a beautiful island beach holiday.
I also have a love for cruising and have had the opportunity to explore new destinations such as the Mediterranean, the coastlines of Spain and Portugal, the Rhône and Saône Rivers in Southern France, canal boating in England, and cruising across the Tasman. All while enjoying the comforts and amenities of life on the water.
One of my favourite pastimes is people watching whether it's from a cafe in Paris or on the streets of New York. For me, there is nothing more fascinating than observing the unique and diverse cultures of the world and the interactions of the people within them. I'm always seeking out new experiences and adventures, driven by a deep curiosity and a thirst for knowledge and understanding.
