Meander down the Murray River

South Australia

Slow travel at its best! Cruise along the mighty Murray River, the third-longest navigable river in the world on Australia’s newest paddle steamer, the PS Australian Star.

Purpose-built for comfort and style, this elegant vessel brings the golden age of river travel back to life on the Murray.

Glide past red gum forests, vineyard-dotted banks and historic river towns as the paddlewheel turns lazily through the water.

Combining heritage charm with modern luxury, on board enjoy gourmet dining, fine wines and sunset views from the deck - it’s a relaxing way to experience Australia’s longest river.

Turn your travel dreams into a reality, and start planning a trip to South Australia. Explore our latest holiday deals here, or speak to your local House of Travel friendly travel expert today and get ready to experience South Australia's beautiful river landscape.

I might not have traveled far and wide… yet! But I love learning about new places, planning adventures, and helping others make the most of their travels. Travel for me is all about curiosity, fun, and creating unforgettable experiences.

Having spent 40+ years, 30 owning my own HOT outlet here in the heart of Wellington, in this exciting and ever changing industry you could say that extraordinary resilience is at the top of my skite sheet given the many and varying challenges that have faced travellers over the years.

My clients and colleagues describe me as a passionate people person, who endeavours to get the best out of a traveller's investment.

It is important for me to be inclusive of everyone within a travelling party, to hear the voice of each traveller, and ensure everyone's wishes are met.

Having been to all continents bar Antarctica which is high on my list, I have also travelled in all styles from budget overland backpacking to luxury cruises which allows me to relate to all clients and work with you for what is best for you.

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..
