Hello there! You may be
asking, "Why choose me?" Truth be told, I've never been one to wax
lyrical about myself. But ask me about travel—my real passion—and I could chat
with you for hours, sharing experiences and hearing about yours!
I'm tremendously honored to have been part of the travel scene for 15 fabulous
years. This isn't just work for me; it's a love affair that defies reason. The
joy of facilitating someone's journey is unparalleled. Travel is the key to
personal growth, offering insights that enhance our souls and let us cherish
the beauty of our world.
I pride myself on my unwavering dedication to delivering exactly what you're
seeking. I live for those moments when clients find the joy and ease in travel,
and I’m dedicated to ensuring you get the holiday you’ve been dreaming of.
If you’re on the lookout for a travel consultant who truly cares and stands by
you throughout—and beyond—your journey, look no further. I'll make sure that
every detail aligns perfectly with your desires, from selecting the ideal ship
or tour to finding the right accommodation. Reach out, and let's brainstorm

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.

House of Travel Kapiti Coast
Having worked in the industry for over 30 years I still thrive on the excitement that builds as I help plan travel adventures both for my clients and of course myself.
Hearing the anecdotes and stories on your return home continues to feed my wanderlust passion. I love the challenge of a tricky flight itinerary, and travel destinations of the beaten track.
My passion for exploration and
dedication to service will ensure you experience your dream holiday.

Esther Ru Bay
House of Travel Papamoa
For over 20 years, I’ve had the incredible privilege of helping people explore the world. From weekend getaways to once-in-a-lifetime journeys, I’ve sent travelers to every corner of the globe—each trip teaching me something new and deepening my passion for travel planning.
What I love most is working with people to craft experiences that go far beyond just itineraries and bookings. Whether it’s a romantic escape, a family adventure, a cultural deep dive, or a soul-searching solo trip, I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Together, we create meaningful, memorable journeys that you’ll carry with you for a lifetime.
In the past few years, the travel landscape has changed dramatically. Flight disruptions, evolving health regulations, and new requirements have made things more complicated than ever. But with experience comes adaptability. We've become experts at staying ahead of the curve—navigating changes with confidence, keeping you informed, and ensuring your plans stay on track no matter what.
My goal is simple: to take the stress out of travel so you can focus on the joy of discovery. From the moment we start planning to the moment you return home, I’m here to make your experience smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable.
Travel might be more complex today—but that’s exactly why having someone in your corner makes all the difference. Let’s plan something amazing.
