“For a truly unique experience spend a night in the Snow Hotel in Kireness – it literally is made of snow and ice and gets rebuilt each December in a different decorative theme!”

Marvel at the Northern Lights from your glass igloo in Finland
Lapland
Located in Finland’s Lapland region, we all know who the most famous resident here is, and we’d put money on Santa spending most of his downtime at an igloo resort.
These snow-tucked hotels boast multiple glass igloos accommodating between two and four guests. Thermal glass and zero WiFi allows you to take a cosy digital detox beneath a fluttering of snow and the best starlit sky in Europe. With a domed glass design, igloos boast the best seats in the house to see Aurora Borealis, AKA the Northern Lights.
Marbling the sky from August through to late April, for a once-in-a-lifetime auroras experience, book a stay here.

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!
