House of Travel - Johnsonville: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional with a great depth of travel knowledge & experience
Fantastic experience: Oliver is an amazing travel agent, professional, knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to make your holiday a memory for life.
Fantastic experience: I always use House of Travel for my holiday experiences, due to one of the consultants, who is always helpful, easy to deal with, friendly, and has great advice. If you need a good holiday consultant, ring Oliver Thomson at House of Travel - Johnsonville, Wellington. Oliver goes the extra mile to make your holiday perfect. Our grown up Sons now use Oliver to organise their holidays too.
Fantastic experience: Danny knows what I like and is very fast with his replies I have never been disappointed with Danny’s recommendations. He is so good I have put all my friends and family on to him.
Fantastic experience: Kate& Hannah are such professionals. Questions answered in a timely manner. No questions are out of bounds. I appreciate them!
Fantastic experience: Oliver listened to what I needed and took his time to explore options to find what would work.
Fantastic experience: Hannah was so helpful in booking our trip to Thailand. She always kept us updated when needed and looked into potential changes for us quickly when we thought we might need to adjust our trip. Would definitely recommend her to others looking to organise their holiday.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service very helpful would recommend
Fantastic experience: If I had six stars I would give 6. Lisa has been incredible. Her communication was seamless and she always went to extra mile to meet my needs. In fact she met more than my needs. My trip was smooth, the Delta App recommended was fabulous and it made me feel much more confident even down to knowing my Bag was booked all the way through on the way home as well as the Terminals to go to. Los Angeles is a very chaotic Airport so the extra assistance from the app was great. The food on the last flight was super too and I had special meals smoothly come up too. The team on one flight out of the four shone I could feel how they all loved their jobs and I was sure to thank them and let them know that I highly recommend House of Travel - Johnsonville and Lisa Glassey. The best experience I have had travelling. I know who I will be calling on for my next trip.
Fantastic experience: Anna at Johnsonville House of Travel went above and beyond to find flights that fit my budget and schedule—after the original quote was over 70% higher. Her persistence and care made a real difference. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Katie was excellent to deal with, we were unfortunate to have a medical emergency when travelling & she was extremely helpful, displaying compassion & going to every means to be of assistance. Highly recommend her services :-)
Fantastic experience: In today’s world, booking any ticket that’s not a straight forward return flight is fraught with obstacles. Danny’s patience made it painless and his knowledge of all the frustrating unknown variables of ticket pricing helped me to find the best deal. Something I couldn’t have achieved on my own. A friend recommended him to me, now I’m recommending him to you. Jennifer
Fantastic experience: Fantastic team that helped us with our complicated travel plans, and the team helped us hugely when an emergency came up overseas. Couldn't recommend more!
Fantastic experience: Hannah was recommended to us by a friend who had recently booked travel through her and said she was fantastic. She truly lived up to the recommendation finding us the best flights, great accommodation options, and helping us plan our family trip to the UK for my sister in law’s wedding. She also gave us excellent suggestions for our stopover in Singapore. We’re so grateful that everything was taken care of so smoothly. Hannah was always quick to reply and really listened to what we needed. Thank you, Hannah! We highly appreciate your help and would happily recommend you to others. Steph and Gav :)
Fantastic experience: Hannah has now helped us twice, and both times she’s been absolutely amazing. She really listens to what we’re after, is so helpful with suggestions, and always so prompt in her replies to make sure every detail is taken care of. We’ve felt completely looked after throughout the process. Any holiday we go on from now will always be booked with Hannah.We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Positive experience: Prompt and friendly service
Fantastic experience: Anna Jayes was always so helpful. We have booked with her twice before and will be doing so again for 2026. We have had some difficulties with suppliers that Anna has diligently followed up for us to a satisfactory solution.
Fantastic experience: Oliver was friendly and asked me the right questions regarding my trip for next year.

Fantastic experience: Lisa was amazing, she listened to our needs as a family of 4 travelling to numerous countries around the world, advised on the best family friendly places to stay, and the best route. Always super prompt in her replies to our many questions. I have used Lisa in the past to bring my mother here from Ireland, again understanding her needs. I even recommended Lisa to other family members travelling too. Thank you Lisa, we will be in touch for our next trip in the future. :)
Fantastic experience: Danny is knowledgeable and responsive. He listened carefully to our needs and presented suitable options that met our needs and was able to access options that weren't apparent to us online.

Fantastic experience: She showed how competent she was when she offered me the ideal flight times that I failed to get when I tried to book online.
Fantastic experience: Anna at Johnsonville House of Travel was great to deal with. We had a few changes of mind re dates , locations etc which didn’t seem to phase Anna at all.

Fantastic experience: Katie was friendly, helpful and excellent to deal with. She provided us with several options re flights, accommodation and car rentals based specifically on our needs.

Fantastic experience: I needed to book tickets for my daughter who was traveling overseas for the first time on her own. Lisa was amazing. She took into consideration how long stop overs were for and the easiest journey to take. She also was so helpful when my daughter did manage to get herself lost at Vancouver airport. Would highly recommend booking your travel with Lisa Glassey.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and helpful. The information provided by Oliver for us being first timers to Australia was brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Kate Jardine's manner was not only very professional but very friendly - she's very approachable. Kate not only assisted with one of our "bucket list" trips but she also gave some really helpful advice on an upcoming trip we're doing in a couple of weeks time - she appears to have travelled extensively and gave some really helpful tips - which we appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Oliver Thomson- brilliant agent
Negative experience: I paid for premium economy and flew a substantial part of the trip in cattle class. I paid for one flight for two persons at $340 each which was not used as the departure city was changed. I booked the flights in November 23 and told in March 24 the Chicago flight was cancelled. Then in April just days before departure I was told Air New Zealand didn't fly from Vancouver to Auckland on that day. I was asked did I want to change my flight dates. I had already booked 35 nights of accommodation, shows, and helicopter flights and I said no. I asked for a statement showing what I paid for and what I got. The request was refused. I booked a trip on a Dreamliner and got a nightmare. My emails took weeks to be answered.
Fantastic experience: Great detailing with Lisa regarding our upcoming trip away as she provided a range of alternative options which was really helpful
Fantastic experience: Kate was friendly, efficient and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to make the arrangements super easy and got me on a flight that same afternoon.
Fantastic experience: Great service both on the phone and via email with the option of going into the shop for in-person. I really appreciated all the help Anna in Johnsonville gave, especially with fairly complicated arrangements. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Oliver is very efficient and a good communicator. prompt. listens to requests.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service from Katie. She helped organise a stress free travel for me last year! I was panicking because of Post Covid travel and flights kept getting delayed. Katie was alongside me, helped explained the process and sort out connecting flights.
Fantastic experience: Hannah Smaha researched to see if a cruise we had found on the internet was available and put a hold on it. When we found we could not extend our cat’s pre-booked stay in a cattery to cover the cruise’s earlier start date, Hannah booked a different cruise for us. Hannah also recommended and booked flights and pre-cruise accommodation while we were in the office with her.
Fantastic experience: She was incredibly helpful, she was proactive in getting as much information from me as possible via email so she could do all the background work before we got there so when we arrived to book it was a very simple process! She provided the information in an easy to read format and explained everything with detail.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Lisa for organising my trip within some strict time constraints and with some very specific requests. I had real doubts about what Kenya might be like but I had wonderful time and can certainly recommend it as a destination. The tours I did were excellent.

Fantastic experience: After 5 years of no travel to Europe for our family I felt quite out of practice organizing a trip . Fortunately I met Lisa at House of Travel in Johnsonville, Wellington who booked all our flights to the UK and out of Europe. We had to make a change recently as our daughter decided to not take up an offer of study in Glasgow. Lisa calmly and quickly found her a seat home with us. I highly recommend having an experienced, knowledgeable and empathetic face to face experience when booking your trip.
Fantastic experience: Our travel was trouble free, we had a great holiday. Thank you for making the arrangements.
Fantastic experience: Danny was absolutely brilliant in helping us organise our trip to Aus, then when airnz cancelled our flight, took care of everything! Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: trouble free booking, smooth holiday
Fantastic experience: Agent listened and followed though with a great travel plan
Fantastic experience: Agent listened and followed though with a great travel plan
Negative experience: Condescending attitude Zero customer skills
Fantastic experience: We were pleased when we drop in.. The awesome lady help us so much. With a smile.
Negative experience: Zero concern for the poor experience they sold us. No effort made to help during an insanely stressful incident, no follow up to ensure we managed to get sorted and get home. Emails ignored. Awful holiday sold as a luxury experience - 4 star rated was actually only 2 stars (being generous). When concerns were raised before departing, they were brushed off, turns out they were very valid. Would not recommend.
Fantastic experience: The best place in Wellington, to go to get information and book your flights, to travel, they have won a number of awards in full display as you walk in. The team is very easy to talk to and very helpful.
Fantastic experience: As a travel agent, Oliver is outstanding. Responsive, friendly & easy to deal with. He listens to our requests/preferences and presents options in a timely manner. I have every confidence in him. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
