The ultimate family adventure … in the Maldives!

Maldives, Asia

The Maldives has a reputation for incredible indulgence and luxury … for couples! But beyond the sunset suppers, overwater bungalows and private pools, there are many havens for families where beachfront villas are nestled amongst tropical gardens and overlooking calm lagoon waters, and kid’s clubs make the most of the natural wonders around – coconut painting, beach scavenger hunts and even kid’s yoga classes.

Opened in November 2024, Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives is the Maldives’ newest family resort where children get the special treatment. From the expansive water park, meandering lazy river, and exciting kids’ club, to the dedicated candy-themed kids spa with edible treatments, boundless fun and thrilling activities every moment at this underwater-world themed family paradise, is designed for family fun.

Having worked in the Travel Industry for 9 years and counting, I am incredibly passionate about detail and no trip is too small!

I have lived in London & Perth, both opening destinations for me to explore! My favourite trips to date were Greece and Thailand.

Every part of the process excites me, from simple flights, group holidays, to your bucket list trips!

I enjoy getting to know my clients and I understand that no detail is too small and warm prompt service is key to delivering great customer experiences.

For a long time, I've told people I have the best job in the world and I still stand by that.

What could be better than turning peoples dreams into reality? I never know what the day will bring and isn't variety the spice of life?

My travel journey started a bit later in my life, so I haven't been everywhere YET, but I am having a damn good crack at it, gathering local knowledge along the way.

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.
