What our customers have to say

Mikes support and guidance for our trip of our life was made so good with his judgment of what would work for us. The excursions worked out great, making our 5 week holiday in Dubai, Great Britain and Ireland so memorable. After such a long lockdown it was great to getaway with such and enjoyable holiday thanks to Mikes support. We now look forward to planning our next trip with Mike from House of travel Hobsonville. Highly recommend going through Mike for your dream holiday.

We had the best experience with Buzz and his team - he helped us plan a family reunion trip to Fiji meeting some family from the USA. We had the best time and when we hit a few speed bumps, he was quick to assist. I would recommend using him for all your travel requirements. If I could give 6 stars I would ;)

Hayley
Buzz and his team at HOT Hobsonville have been amazing to deal with. We got caught up in the Jan 2023 weather event and his communications have been proactive, helpful and constant. I’d recommend these guys to anyone looking to book travel - you’ll get amazing service and support.

Sarah
In all of my dealings with Buzz Thomson and House of Travel Hobsonville I have received valuable detailed information, being made aware of all the options open to me. His advice meant that I saved money by booking my holiday at the right time and that, when travel complications arose, the matter was in the hands of experts and was fully resolved. Buzz’s personal knowledge of particular world destinations enable me to find local accommodation precisely, having in mind my own requirements including tours and other activities, neighbourhoods, budget and hotel style. I would always seek Buzz’s international holiday advice, confident that he places my interests first.

Buzz/Mike and the team at Hobsonville Travel are awesome! I needed a great recommendation for me and the family which was reasonably priced and Buzz narrowed down my what my needs were super quick and we settled on Plantation Island in Fiji. I have travelled extensively, and have been in tourism internationally for over 30 years but still found the convenience and service that this agency provided was helpful and fantastic. Super friendly, thought of everything, responsive to any issues, there when I needed them. Go with these guys, you wont regret it :)

Kirsty
Buzz and his team have a wealth of knowledge and experience. They're very welcoming and friendly, too. We're new to Hobsonville and are delighted to find such a great HoT agency down the road. Buzz has already sorted our holiday and cruise requirements, and is very prompt at answering emails and queries. We're happy travellers indeed!

Booking my holiday was a dream. Ellie’s experience and knowledge of the country I am visiting helped me to book accommodation that was within budget and close to what I wanted to see and do and arrange flights that suited my needs. In all my dealings with her, she has been kind, helpful and professional; taking the time to make sure all my questions were fully answered. Thanks Ellie for taking all the stress away. I am now sitting back, relaxing and looking forward to my holiday.

Having decided to travel to UK in 2025 I 'phoned House of Travel Hobsonville and arranged an appointment with Ellie a consultant at the Branch. Ellie was very welcoming and suggested seating arrangements for my comfort , Ellie also organized assisted travel and the seats requested by me.

My wife and I had trouble finding the best deals on our own for our flights back from Bali. My mother in law referred me to House of Travel Hobsonville and they were outstanding. Not only did they find us the best deal, their communication was prompt and efficient. Because i work full-time they worked around my busy schedule. A special shout out to Sunisa, our awesome House of Travel Agent (Hobsonville).

I can't Say Enough For The Outstanding Service I just Received From Sunny Chanthavong on my recent visit and booking of a short trip up North to the bay of islands, New Zealand. She was Excellent, and with her outstanding customer service, she listened to my needs. Booked my trip promptly and I was off. Unfortunately being a Stroke Survivor and also a senior the news of the impending cyclone , I did decide it was too much for me and I returned a few days later to cancel my plans. She greeted me with a beautiful smile and without Hesitation refunded my trip. Thank you so much Sunny Chanthavong the world need more professional and service people like yourself. This house of travel is the place to book your travel and sunny comes with 10-star rating from the guest from Vancouver, Canada.
