HOT Auckland City Shares the Love with Mercy Hospice β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” 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 β€” a partnership grounded in compassion, care, and community.

✈️New route, new possibilities!



We always go β€˜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 β€” 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!

Heading to Perth? Our team have compiled some of their fave experiences check them out here πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/433cmwP

Where will you go with this 'new' route?

Our Story

Small outlet with huge personality and the desire to help you with your travel plans in every way. Julia McNee (Owner Operator) I have worked in travel for 27 years and have travelled to most of the South Pacific Islands, to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Vancouver, driven down the coast of Oregon in the US, visited the UK and Iceland and recently been on a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. My absolute passion is helping clients plan their big overseas trips, especially to the more unusual destinations, and making sure all the finer details are taken care of. Lisa Dorreen (Travel Specialist) Having travelled extensively over the last 20 years I love sharing my passion for travel with my clients and helping them create wonderful lasting memories from their holidays. I have so many great memories from my own trips that there are just too many to list! Rachel Scott (Travel Specialist) I joined House of Travel Whangamata in April 2014 after having a break from travel to have children and we made the decision to move from Auckland to raise our children here. I have been in the travel industry since 1998 working in Corporate Travel, Wholesale and now Retail roles both in New Zealand and the UK. I love to travel and have travelled throughout Europe while I was based in the UK. Helping clients to plan their holiday is what I love to do whether it is a short break away or the trip of a life time. So if you are thinking about heading away for your next holiday come in and see me.
