Wild, delicious and wonderfully unique
Australia’s captivating island state of Tasmania is a place where nature and culture collide beautifully. Best known for its wild landscapes, abundant wildlife (hello, Tassie devil!), and fascinating history, Tassie is also a foodie’s paradise. Picture yourself sampling local wines, sweet strawberries fresh from the farm, delicious cheeses and mouth-watering seafood from friendly artisan producers or bustling markets.
Tasmania’s compact size, paired with easy roads and stunning scenery, makes it perfect for a self-drive adventure. Give yourself at least a week to wander through towering forests, explore pristine beaches, delve into historic sites and marvel at majestic mountain scenery. Fancy something more adventurous? Paddle your way through secluded bays by kayak, tackle exhilarating white-water rafting, or lace up your boots and trek through spectacular wilderness trails.
Looking to mix it up? Glide down tranquil rivers on relaxing cruises, enjoy the thrill of guided 4WD tours, or even take to the skies in a helicopter for views you’ll never forget. And don’t miss Hobart’s iconic Mona, a world-class museum that’s put Tasmania firmly on the global art map.

Susan"We have found Torin outstanding. He has gone the extra mile for us several times and we are very grateful. We had major health issues during our last Brisbane trip and he was so helpful with all the changes we had to make to our itinerary. He is also helping us with an issue we have with Air New Zealand and again we are so grateful for his help."

After achieving my New Zealand Level 5 & 6 Diplomas in Travel and Tourism, I’m excited to have joined the team at House of Travel Rotorua back in December 2022 - not even Covid could derail my dreams of becoming a travel consultant.
My years of studying and my personal experience of travelling to Australia on family holidays has fuelled my passion for creating unforgettable holidays. I spend my days designing holidays within New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific and Asia, and I absolutely love arranging cruise holidays. Working with you to create your perfect getaway is what I enjoy the most, so bring me your dream holiday, and we can build it together! Leave me to focus on the details, so that you can relax and have your best adventure yet!

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 travel tips:
- Always have travel insurance
- Wake up early - whether it be to see the sunrise, or to skip a queue, or get a coffee at the local café.
- Make a list of the things you want to experience and pre book as much as you can.
- Stay local with everything easily accessible on foot.
My top 5 favourite destinations:
- Italy - rolling hills and crystal blue waters, stunning villages and cathedrals, amazing food and wine.
- South Africa - rich cultural experiences, amazing wildlife on safari, breath-taking landscapes.
- Croatia - stunning beaches and unbelievable landscapes from the islands in the Adriatic to the Krka National Park.
- Mexico - amazing food, fascinating Mayan culture, stunning beaches, and fabulous architecture from ancient temples to the colonial cathedrals.
- Canada - my birth land! The people, the rich forests, lakes, mountains and wildlife.
What's in my suitcase:
- First Aid kit as you can never be too prepared.
- Travel Diary - make an effort to write down the highlights of your day, you will look back in appreciation.
- Sarong or thin, long scarf - will come in handy as a towel or to cover your shoulders when need be.
- Small change of local currency - whether it be to buy a bottle of water or a quick snack or to leave a tip.
