Discover why Singapore is so much more than you expect. 👇

House of Travel’s Cheryl Edwards discovers new adventures around the corner… from the cultural sights and beautiful gardens, the hustle and bustle and fabulous Hawker street food, ziplining over white-sandy beaches on Sentosa or sipping cocktails in a secret speakeasy tucked behind a humble coffee shop.

✨ "It’s the hidden gems that really make your holiday special – imagine having dinner in a cave at a wildlife reserve – a truly magical experience. And if you’re craving island vibes? Head to The Palawan @ Sentosa - a beachside playground bursting with family fun, high-speed thrills, and adults-only beach clubs.”

💬 Which side of Singapore would you explore first - the heritage, the hidden gems, or the island fun?

🌴 Dreaming of Tahiti? 🐠🌺

This South Pacific paradise is every bit as breathtaking as the photos - and then some. If Tahiti is on your ‘wish list’, here's a peek at what it's really like!
Catherine Johnson from House of Travel just returned from an unforgettable island adventure and shares her top moments and must-dos:

🌊 Snorkelling in Bora Bora
“There were so many highlights, but nothing topped snorkelling and swimming with manta rays and black tip sharks in the coral reef at Bora Bora,” she says.
The water? “Crystal clear - like nothing I’ve ever seen. The blue hues of the ocean really does look just like the photos!” 💙

🛵 Explore Moorea by scooter or car
“While staying in Moorea, we rented a scooter and explored the island at our own pace - discovering hidden beaches, waterfalls, and local food spots.”
💜HOT Tip: Renting a car or scooter is the best way to take in the island’s beauty and find those off-the-beaten-path gems.

🧺 Visit Papeete Market in Tahiti
A must-do on the main island! “The vibrant Papeete Market (Le Marché de Papeete) is perfect for local culture, handcrafted souvenirs, and tasting traditional Tahitian dishes.”

🚤 Boat tour & Coco Beach in Moorea
“A small-group boat tour around Moorea’s lagoon gave us incredible views of the volcanic peaks and the chance to snorkel at submerged tiki statues beneath crystal-clear waters.”

To top it off? “We visited Coco Beach Restaurant on Motu Tiahura - only accessible by boat. Definitely book lunch and the boat shuttle in advance!”

Thinking about taking the kids to Japan? Carla McKinnon from House of Travel Whanganui recently returned from a trip full of magic, memories and a few handy tips for families planning the same.

🎢 Disneyland Dreams, Delivered
“I promised my son Cooper a trip to Disneyland when he was 10. We were two years late… but we made it, and it was worth every second.” The kids were in awe at both Disneyland and DisneySea.
HOT tip: don’t skip the night parade, and yes - get the Mickey ears.

✨ BEST. SHOW. EVER!

“MJ The Musical – “One of the best shows I’ve been to, an electrifying experience from start to finish!” 🎶 Halie Allan from House of Travel Invercargill experienced this incredible show in Sydney and loved every bit of it!

🔥 “I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time.” The energy in the theatre was next level – being just four rows from the front made it feel like we were part of the action."

💜 Halie’s tip: "Stay at Sydney’s Novotel or Sofitel, you can’t beat the location with awesome shopping and dining options right on your doorstep" 💃🌃

But be quick to catch it in Sydney as the season ends in August. But the great news is the show is heading to Melbourne in September!
