HOT Auckland City Shares the Love with Mercy Hospice โ€” One Bikkie at a Time

House of Travel is proud to support Hospice Awareness Week, and the Auckland City team marked the occasion the sweetest way they know how โ€” with a cup of tea and a bickie!

Each day, Mercy Hospiceโ€™s beloved tea trolley offers patients and families a comforting drink and a small treat. Itโ€™s a simple gesture that brings a moment of warmth and connection to those navigating end-of-life care โ€” a reminder that even the smallest kindnesses can make a big difference.

Thanks to the generosity of the teams at HOT Auckland City, HOT Auckland HQ, and Orbit Auckland, weโ€™ve donated over 40 packets of biscuits to help keep the tea trolley well-stocked and ready to brighten more days.

House of Travel has proudly supported Hospice New Zealand since 2005 โ€” a partnership grounded in compassion, care, and community.

โœˆ๏ธNew route, new possibilities!



We always go โ€˜quokkasโ€ when we hear new routes being announced. Qantasโ€™s new Auckland to Perth route is expected to be operational by 7th December 2025. A great full-service option on an A330 for those heading to South Africa, easier, faster connections to Europe โ€” less hassle, more adventure. And for those hopping the ditch to visit friends and family or wanting to sample to wonders of WA a little competition typically means cheaper fares!
