“Do as the locals do and enjoy a cocktail on a rooftop bar – 230 Fifth is as the name suggests located at 230 5th Ave. The views of the Empire State Building and out across Manhattan are incredible – and they have heaters and cosy rooftop igloos – very cool!”

A magical Christmas in New York
New York
The Big Apple does Christmas better than anywhere else, and New Yorkers seize the opportunity to celebrate every moment of it.
Start the silly season off by heading along to Rockefeller Centre to see the towering Christmas tree with the Swarovski Star and over 30,000 glittering lights. Marvel at the ice skaters zipping around Bryant Park, and be awestruck by the amazing decorations and store window displays along Fifth Avenue. Explore outdoor Christmas markets, making sure not to miss Macy’s Santaland, and check out FAO Schwarz, New York’s most famous toy store.
Christmas in New York is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Inspired for 2024? Now’s the time to be booking your magical Christmas in New York!

Hi, I’m Sarah—a Matamata local with a passion for making your travel dreams come true!
With over nine years of experience as a travel consultant, I specialise in creating personalised journeys that leave lasting memories. Working remotely from Matamata, I combine local charm with global expertise, bringing the world right to your doorstep.
Travel is not just my profession—it’s my passion. As an avid explorer, I’ve fallen in love with some incredible destinations. London has captured my heart with its royal landmarks, from the grandeur of Buckingham Palace to the storied Tower of London. Navigating the city on the iconic Underground is a breeze, making every corner of this vibrant city accessible. As a lifelong Harry Potter fan, visiting the Cotswolds and exploring filming locations like Lacock Abbey Cloisters (aka Hogwarts!) was pure magic.
In Asia, my adventures have taken me to many countries, but the Philippines stands out. Swimming with whale sharks and soaking up the island vibes were unforgettable experiences. It’s a destination rich in culture, beauty, and value—a must-see!
When it’s time to unwind, I love nothing more than a relaxing resort holiday. Picture this: a good book, a cocktail in hand, and the laid-back charm of the South Pacific. As a new mum, I’ve developed a knack for finding the best family-friendly resorts. Our recent family holiday to Fiji was a dream! We stayed at the Outrigger, and it was absolutely faBULAous—perfect for little ones and parents alike.
Whether you’re craving a peaceful beach retreat, an exhilarating adventure, or a family escape, I’m here to make it happen. My goal? To craft a travel experience tailored just for you, full of unforgettable moments and stress-free planning.
Let’s turn your travel dreams into reality. Life’s short—let’s make sure your story is one worth watching.
Ready to explore? I can’t wait to help you plan your next journey!

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.
