Sarah Gaffney Travel Managers Fully mobile travel broker, based in Auckland, with 28yrs experience creating memorable holidays…. Everyone is different, and the difference is in the details.

I caught the travel bug after going on my OE in my early 20’s. I’ve enjoyed creating holidays for my clients over the last 25 years that are both memorable and great value for money. I like to share my knowledge & ideas, and feel privileged to have long lasting relationships with my clients. In the days of the internet & people being able to book their own travel, I’m often asked “Do people still use travel agents?”. My response is simple, “yes they do, this will be even more advisable in a post Covid world due to constant border closures & government restrictions. If you’re like me, your time is valuable, you still want the personal service, the backup of a professional, someone who has the resources, contacts, & knowledge to help you plan what is right for you as it’s not a matter of one size fits all. The countries I have visited include:
Europe: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, UK (including Ireland & Scotland), France, Monaco, Andorra, Spain, Italy, Vatican City, Switzerland, Austria, Hungry, Slovakia, Greece. Asia: Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Maldives, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan. Africa: Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe. South Pacific: Australia, Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tahiti, New Caledonia. Americas: Canada, USA, Mexico. Of all my travel experiences, Africa captured my heart. There are no words to describe how it feels to come across a pride of lions sleeping during the day only to return early the following morning to watch them feast on a fresh kill, or getting a little too close for comfort to an elephant that doesn’t want you in his path, or be soaked by the force of the water teaming over the Victoria Falls. There’s definitely something for everyone. I am a CLIA cruise accredited travel professional which allows me to match the right cruise to your requirements. I also hold a National Certificate in Travel, Level 4. As you can appreciate, I'm working reduced hours due to Covid-19. I'm still checking emails regularly however my response time maybe longer than usual. If you have an urgent query please leave a message on mobile 027 224 7082 & I'll reply ASAP. I would ask for your patience and understanding during this time. Your holiday leave and travel dollars are precious, so why put your faith in a faceless, nameless website? You deserve expert advice and value for your dollar. Go retro and use a travel agent!

🛥️ Sunshine, cocktails and not a single thing on the schedule.

This is the Gold Coast at its most indulgent. Spend the day poolside at La Luna Beach Club, Australia's first floating beach club, overlooking million-dollar yachts as the hours slow right down. Linger over Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, sip cocktails in the sunshine and soak up a little slice of Mykonos right in the heart of the Gold Coast.
