Be dazzled by Vivid Sydney

Sydney

Sydney’s sparkling harbour, in all its iconic glory, is lusted-over by the world’s most avid travellers, all hankering to tick this beauty off their bucketlist. And yet for Kiwis, it’s just a three and a half hour flight from New Zealand.

The city so many yearn to visit is on our doorstep, and every year we have the opportunity to experience Sydney in her finest light.

Sydney and its iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Royal Botanic Garden, will come alive from 23 May-14 Jun 2025 with mesmerising art installations, light projections, live music and culinary delights.

Seeing the Vivid Sydney lights from the Sydney Harbour on-board one of Captain Cooks Vivid Sydney cruise and dining experiences makes this the perfect on-water Vivid Sydney experience.

“For the those bold enough to make the climb in the dark, Bridge Climb’s ‘Vivid Sydney Climb’ delivers dazzling night views over the city and provides a different perspective of this light extravaganza. You’ll need to book in advance as its popular.”

What I love most about my job is helping others make their travel dreams a reality! It may sound cheesy, but it really is true!

I started out back in 2002 & have enjoyed travels through South East Asia, the Pacific, Australia, USA, the UK & Europe!

After having my son just before our first Covid lockdown in 2020, I took a bit of a hiatus but came back to House of Travel in a support roll for the lovely Petra in April 2024.

Once a travel agent, always a travel agent!

Petra and I work together to weave these dreams for our lovely customers, and I look forward to helping you with yours too!

Having spent the last 30 years in the Travel Industry I can safely say "I love my job" !!

Getting to put together dream holidays is very rewarding and it's great to see so many more Kiwis getting out to see this amazing world of ours...

I love to tailor holidays that are uniquely personal to you. Every person has different needs, wants and "must do's" for their holiday. Nothing is cookie cutter in the world of travel so being able to put together an itinerary that is bespoke and personal is rewarding for myself and for you, the traveller.

My favourite destinations would be Europe (especially France and Italy), South East Asia (especially Vietnam and Thailand) and of course our Island neighbours. I have been to Fiji numerous times and every time I just love it.
But there are so many places I have yet to travel to and I look forward to sharing my travel stories along the way.

I look forward to working with you..

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.
