Plan your trip with a local travel agent who takes care of the details — so you can enjoy the experience from start to finish.
Backed by years of travel experience and part of the Travel Advocates network, I’ll guide you on what’s worth it — and be there if anything changes along the way.
Whether it’s a ready-made tour or something more tailored, your trip is built around what works best for you — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Flights, connections, accommodation and timing are all organised properly so your trip runs smoothly from start to finish.
No two trips are the same, so I take the time to understand what you’re looking for and build from there — whether it’s a straightforward getaway or something with a few more moving parts.
Because I work independently, I’m not tied to one supplier or package. That means I can look across a wide range of options and put together something that genuinely suits you.
From the first idea through to when you get home, everything is taken care of — so you can just enjoy the trip.
If you’re based in Kāpiti, you’re welcome to pop in and see me in Ōtaki — or we can plan everything remotely.

We can’t say how easy it is to travel knowing our trip was organised by Vanessa.
The app makes checking bookings, flights and provides links to all important information so easy.
Removing a lot of travel stress making for a more enjoyable trip — Andrew
The devil is in the details, instead of the devil we had Vanessa in the detail of our trip. She knows how a great holiday works and makes it happen. She took the time to understand what we like, and created a trip that ticked all the boxes. She led us through the planning covering what we didn’t even know we needed to — Sue
We had an incredible experience booking our recent holiday through Travelust NZ. Our trip was an 8‑night stay at Lukiluki Lagoon Resort in Fiji, and everything from start to finish was seamless. Vanessa was outstanding to deal with professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested—David
I’ve just returned from the most incredible 6 week OE in Europe, UK & The Greek islands. Vanessa helped plan our entire itinerary without missing any of our must-visit destinations and from the moment we departed Auckland, we couldn’t fault a thing — Emma
She was always available when I needed more questions answered. The accommodation was fantastic and couldn't fault it. Great for a family.
The highlight was swimming with The Turtles with GO LOCAL— Liz
You were always there for us when we weren’t sure of where we were going, or what to do next, and took my frantic messages 2am(sorry), when things look liked they were gonna curdle. Great experience and now ready for the next trip. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe Vanessa —Mari & Mariana
Because working with the best in the business means a better experience for you...
