Fantastic experience: I had been trying to book a flight online when I was told my bank that I had a limit on my card and couldn’t make the purchase. I was highly emotional and in tears when I went to the store - I thought that my hope to go home to SA for Xmas was done. Zoe was so calm and empathized with me and assured me that she would be able to help me. She went through the options and gave me different suggestions. I left the store feeling at ease and happy. I’m so excited to be going home to my beautiful country to bring in the new year ♥️ thank you Zoe!

Fantastic experience: We used Emma at house of travel New Plymouth for a recent trip to Rarotonga. Emma went above and beyond to ensure our holiday was everything and more. Nothing was ever a hassle. As our first time travelling to the Cook Islands, we had lots of questions, Emma was always quick to respond. We were also given lots of recommendations on things to do during our stay that we should book in advance, meaning, we didn’t miss out on anything. Emma was wonderful to work with and I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to book there next holiday, I will definitely use her again in the future!

Fantastic experience: Sindy was fantastic. She planned our honeymoon to Fiji and everything was perfect! She worked with us with patience through a coupe of different options, and the one we went ahead with could not of gone better. From boarding the plane, to airport and boat transfers, and accommodation check-in. Everything was so easy and seamless and took the stress away from us so we could just enjoy our holiday together. The HOT app is super helpful too. Would recommend the team and we will be using them again the next time we are lucky enough to go away somewhere.

Ganga Nanayakkara 2 years ago

Negative experience: Omg, where do I start? Absolute nightmare trying to sort out a date change on my mum's booking. The agent I dealt with was nice but she had zero knowledge of the process and costs. Lots of back and forth emails, reminder calls etc, I got so fed up and had to give them an ultimatum to get it done. I have dealt with different travel agents before with no issues. Not recommended at all

House of Travel - New Plymouth
House of Travel - New Plymouth

Hi Ganga, I understand that you were frustrated with the process and that you felt like the agent you were working with did not have a good understanding of the situation. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you. The information she was providing you with was the correct information about the airline rules and the costs associated with changing the date of the booking. She also explained that the situation was not a common one, as you were requesting to change the dates more than 12 months from the original travel date. I understand that this may not be the answer you were hoping for, but I hope you can appreciate that the agent was doing her best to follow the airline's rules and regulations that we are governed by. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me as the Owner Operator of the store.

Hi Tony and Jessica, I understand your disappointment and frustration. As we explained to you at the time we are an agent and bound by the rules of airlines and can only offer solutions that fit within the rules set by the airline. I understand that you were very upset that we were unable to provide the answers you wanted. I was also concerned by your response towards myself and my team. I apologise if we came across as rude as this was not the intention.

Fantastic experience: We are going to a wedding in Melbourne in June, so I thought the best way to do that would be to go to a travel agent. I highly recommend House of Travel for all your travel needs, I used them in 2018 for a 7 week trip to the UK.

Fantastic experience: Tracey organised my recent trip to the UK and was an enormous help covering off all the requirements to travel in these crazy COVID times. When I wanted to return early and was exploring various options of how I might do that, Tracey research the options for me and gave very wise advise. I would not hesitate in recommending House of Travel and I will certainly use them again.

Fantastic experience: Tracey and her team are my go-to people when travel is on my mind. They have organized amazing experiences for my family and I both in New Zealand and overseas. Each trip we take, they suggest an activity or side trip that I would not have considered and I have learned from experience to just say yes - they know their stuff! The HOT team take the stress out of travel and always go the extra mile to ensure that your trip is smooth and relaxing. I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I really have appreciated the work that has been done on our behalves by Sindy Jones at the HoT in New Plymouth. During these difficult times, showing true professionalism, Sindy has managed to recover the majority of the costs of our planned trip to the U.K. This trip has of course been all put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Sindy has done a fantastic job and we have no hesitation in recommending her if you are planning a trip in the future. Barbara Garrett
