Small Island, Big Wonders

Your ultimate urban adventure! Ni hao!

Dreaming of a Singapore getaway that’s nothing short of dazzling? A small island nation nestled in the warm waters of the South China Sea - from Marina Bay in the east to Sentosa Island in the west, Singapore is one of Asia’s most vibrant and exciting destinations. Whether you want to explore the Gardens by the Bay, shop at Orchard Road, or enjoy the nightlife of Clarke Quay, our Singapore travel specialists can help you create your dream Singapore escape.

Flight time.

It takes around 10 hours to fly from Auckland to Singapore. This direct flight is a gateway to a city where east meets west.

Best time to go.

The best time to visit Singapore is between February and April, during the dry season. This is when the weather is most pleasant for sightseeing and exploring the city’s many attractions.

Time difference.

Singapore is 4 hours behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to consider during your stay.

Leaving home at 19 with a one way ticket to London to start my OE, it's fair to say I've had the travel bug for years!

Living overseas for 8 years, and in London for four years, I travelled extensively around Europe. Barcelona is my favourite city!

Then living in Melbourne for four years after that, this is where I started my career in travel in 2004. It was my dream job all those years ago and I still smile every day when I come to work now, I LOVE this job!

Nothing brings me more joy then hearing of clients travel plans, putting together itineraries and making their travel experience run as smooth as possible from start to finish.

I like to think I am a friendly, bubbly personality, a good listener and I will take on board your needs while also guiding you with helpful advice and suggestions when needed. I live on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and three young children, I understand the #mum-life juggle and the need to get away and escape for a holiday sometimes! Having travelled to nearly 40 countries, I have lots of experience that I cant wait to share it with you. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

Having been with House of Travel for 13 years I really enjoy how even after all this time every day is different. I can still find new destinations to learn about and expand on my knowledge through travel I have booked. Hearing about how my client’s travels went and what they experienced is always a highlight!

I encourage clients to keep in touch throughout their trip as I love receiving a photo now and then to see where their adventures are taking them. To me it's not just a holiday or a travel experience we are booking, it's memories we are helping create that will last you a lifetime.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain.
