Gabrielle Murphy

Lani's help and advice was amazing! There is no way we could have organised a 4 week European trip for my family without her help. She is prompt, helpful and very knowledgeable in the preparation stage and then was able to help troubleshoot a few issues that cropped up for us while we were away. I will definitely be working with her again in the future for other travel plans!

Lani did an excellent job arranging our staff conference in Sydney for our 14 employees. She made everything simple from providing suggested locations, booking the accommodation and flights and arrnaging team activities. Will definitely be working with her again in future.

Hi Lani, Thanks for organising our recent cruise along the east coast of Kyushu Island in Japan with a port in Busan Sth Korea. It was a culture we enjoyed with help wherever we needed it. All of our accomodation you placed us in was lovely. After an ever ending taxi ride to Asakusa we were central to everything. The location of the hotel was amazing . Thanks again until next we travel. Helen and Maurie.

Lani was absolutely fantastic in organising our last-minute trip to Vietnam! She took care of everything quickly and effortlessly, making what could have been a fiddly process very easy. The guides she arranged were excellent, the experiences were wonderful, and the hotels lovely. Her attention to detail and recommendations meant we had a seamless and stress-free holiday. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again—highly recommend!

Lani was amazing in putting together our European Christmas family holiday, organising flights and hotels as well as day trips and transfers. Being so well travelled herself means she can offer great suggestions with first hand experience. Lani kept in great contact with us when there were a couple of unforeseen changes, informing vendors of changes. Highly recommend

We have just arrived home from our fabulous holiday in Hawaii and then sailing home on a relaxing transpacific cruise, all organised by Lani. Lani arranged our flights, accommodation and cruise booking as well as our travel insurance, so all we really had to do was pack a suitcase and go. So thankyou once again Lani for a seamless holiday.

Lani was great to deal with always helpful and happy to answer questions and provide many options for costs etc. Lani also kept in contact when we were overseas to advise of anything that changed or updated. Best 5 1/2 weeks in Europe.

Lani is an amazing travel agent- my dream holiday was fantastic. I am a very nervous and anxious traveler, but Lani was so patient and helpful. Very knowledgeable about my destinations and had a lot of useful travel tips. I do not hesitate to recommend Lani and will be using her services for future trips.

Another bucket list trip completed, all thanks to Lani! My wife and l had the most amazing 3 weeks in Japan for our honey moon and everything went perfectly! We stayed in 5 different locations across the country and every hotel was well suited to what we needed and perfectly located to make getting around super easy. Lani was very easy to reach out to, even for small questions about how much shopping weight we could bring back, always getting back to us super quick! Can’t wait to book our next trip away with the best of the best!

as usual with Lani, everything for my recent trip with my sons to New Zealand, went off without a hitch. Lani is a real gem and would not trust my travel arrangements with anybody else.

Lani was fabulous to deal with. Our trip went perfectly to plan. Lani was always accessible and when a day tour was cancelled last minute while we were away Lani was all over the solution, a refund and a replacement tour. I have previously had bad experiences with travel agents so it is a relief to have found a reliable professional.

I have gone to Lani for several trips (including to Europe, Vietnam, Fiji, and Darwin) and she always does a fantastic job. She makes everything so easy and it always fits my goals and budget for the trip perfectly. She is so patient and always makes sure that everything is organised. Thank you so much Lani, you’ve saved me many headaches and so much time!

Lani did a great job co-ordinating our cruise and associated flights, insurance. She chose the right kind that would suit a parent with children also. She is always easy to communicate with and is excellent value for money.

Another 10/10 review for Lani. She helped me book another amazing holiday for myself and my husband. This time we went to the Whitsundays. I researched the 2 tours I wanted to do and Lani took care of everything else. She found hotels for me to chose from, our flights & even booked in a car hire for us which helped us out a lot. Thank you again Lani. Until next time

Lani has organised a perfect 3-week holiday for our family in Europe over the July school holidays. The whole trip from London to Frankfurt was meticulously planned with all the information and bookings well organised into booklets by destination! The accommodation and sightseeing were well booked and we did not have to worry about anything other than what we needed to pack for the trip. Lani has been amazing in organising everything for us and we had such a blast. The whole trip would not have been possible without Lani's exceptional planning and recommendations. Thank you so much for a wonderful family holiday!

I love the work Lani does. Looks after you every step of the way. From my current trip away on a cruise she has been there just before covid hit and helped me out over the next 3 years rescheduling everything and putting in all the hard work. I am definitely looking forward to booking more trips in with Lani.

We have just returned from a two week holiday to LA, Vancouver & Whistler. Lani was key in making our dream holiday come to fruition, including being able to surprise our kids for Christmas with our itineraries. Lani was fantastic with researching any queries we had on specific hotels, and recommended some great ones with amazing bonuses too. Our flights were competitive, transfers helpful and accommodations amazing. Lani was patient with any changes we needed to make, and so amazing with any issues that came up in the planning phase. We had a wonderful time and look forward to booking our next family holiday with Lani again!

Lani helped make our long awaited trip to NZ South Island a fantastic family holiday. We had no nasty surprises, everything ran smoothly and hiccups with flights were quickly sorted. All destinations and suggested activities were great - we had a wonderful time. Thanks for your help and professional knowledge, Lani!

Lani helped us with our trip to Vietnam. Without her, we wouldn’t have found out about the fantastic Intrepid tour for families with teenagers (which was perfect for us). Lani also helped with flights, visa information, transfers and hotels. We will use Lani for any future trips !

Our recent trip to Erakor Island Resort was amazing. The resort was small so not too crowded. Lots to do including snorkeling, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, volleyball and swimming. The staff knew you by name and where always there for a chat or assistance. Fraser and Leita were the main staff that assisted the guests with anything from booking tours and taxis to telling stories about the culture and traditions of the island. The feast night and fire show was amazing,as was the pizza and movie night. The food at the resort was expensive, but having the breakfast included lessened the cost. There was lots of supervision in the kids club for the younger kids, and although we didn't use this service as our boys are older, we saw the little ones having a blast!. We can highly recommend this resort.

Lani's support and professionalism was exceptional! We just completed a big trip to France with no issues at all! The detailed planning, abundance of information and comfort provided by Lani was above and beyond our expectations. Ready to plan another trip utilising Lani's personal travel services to see family in France in 2023! Thankyou Lani for being passionate about what you do.
