🧳 Tip of the Week – Fay’s Turn!

"Magnetic hooks: the MVP of my cruise bag!" 🧲🚢

HOT Auckland City Shares the Love with Mercy Hospice — 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 — with a cup of tea and a bickie!

Each day, Mercy Hospice’s beloved tea trolley offers patients and families a comforting drink and a small treat. It’s a simple gesture that brings a moment of warmth and connection to those navigating end-of-life care — 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, we’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 — a partnership grounded in compassion, care, and community.

✈️New route, new possibilities!



We always go ‘quokkas” when we hear new routes being announced. Qantas’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 — 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!
