Wine, wildlife, and wonders... just a hop beyond Melbourne!
If you've only ever ventured to Australia’s eastern cities, you’re in for a treat. South Australia is full of hidden gems and unforgettable adventures. Did you know a direct flight from Auckland to Adelaide is just 50 minutes longer than to Melbourne? Trust us, those extra minutes in the air are well worth it!
Adelaide, often called the ‘20-minute city’, is the perfect base to explore everything South Australia has to offer. Picture yourself strolling Adelaide's leafy streets, exploring cultural treasures like the State Library and Art Gallery on North Terrace, or indulging in a taste sensation at one of over 700 eateries lining buzzing spots like Gouger Street, Rundle Street, and Hutt Street.
For shoppers and café lovers, Rundle Mall is the heartbeat of Adelaide’s vibrant shopping scene, while Adelaide Central Market, one of Australia's largest fresh markets, is a haven for food lovers and artisan enthusiasts alike.
Fancy some sun, sea, and sand? Jetty Road and the sparkling beaches of Glenelg await—perfect for family fun, a romantic sunset stroll, or café-hopping in style.
Of course, you can't miss the legendary Barossa Valley, just under an hour’s drive from Adelaide’s CBD, renowned for award-winning wineries and sumptuous foodie delights.
Journey onwards into the lush Adelaide Hills, where charming Hahndorf village beckons with traditional German bakeries, boutique stores, and old-world charm?
Feeling adventurous? Cruise down the mighty Murray River on a historic paddlewheeler, or captain your own luxury houseboat with mates. Spot local wildlife, watch the landscapes drift by, and create unforgettable memories on the water.
Whether you've got a week or more, South Australia's blend of scenic beauty, culinary gems, cultural treasures, and genuine hospitality promises your Best. Holiday. Ever!

Being a friendly and bubbly
person, I appreciate spending time with my clients building their dream
holidays, listening and paying attention to their needs to create special
memories. Let me help you discover the world the way that you would like to.
I feel so fortunate to be a part of this wonderful travel industry that I am so
enthusiastic about and find that my passion to help others shows when working
in my happy place.
I have travelled through Europe with Contiki in my early 20's which was such a
wonderful way to get a taste for the European culture and food, opening my mind
to Europe's uniqueness. In 2023 I travelled to London to watch an All Blacks
game at Twickenham Stadium which was absolutely fantastic, then completed a
Trafalgar tour of England and Scotland. I was so blown away by the historic
palaces and magnificent landmarks as well as iconic attractions.
Recently I was in Central Europe and embarked on a Scenic River cruise from
Budapest through Vienna and Bratislava on the Danube. Cruising through the
European waterways being inspired by the picture-postcard villages and castles.
It was like being in a dream. If you have ever thought of doing a European
River cruise, I highly recommend it. Come see me to have a chat about this
incredible way of travelling as well as giving you some tips and insights
before you go.
Selling river and ocean cruises is a passion of mine. It is such an easy way to
travel. Unpacking once, having food included as well as entertainment. Why
would you not love to travel like this.
I love Asia and the wonderful people, culture and food you experience in these
destinations. I have been to Bali, travelled through Cambodia and the South to
North of Vietnam, as well as parts of Eastern Canada and New York. I cruised
Alaska which I absolutely loved and have had many trips to different parts of
Australia, South Pacific, Asia and South Africa.
My favourite country would have to be Cambodia, where I thoroughly enjoyed
meeting the locals, travelling this beautiful country, and experiencing the
local food. Waking up at 5am to have a cup of tea whilst watching the sun
rising over Angkor Wat as the local monks walked past. It was a magical moment
and one that will be engraved in my mind forever.
I can’t wait to meet with you to discuss your individual travel enquiries.
