Rhonda Bignell

House of Travel Ferrymead

Travel is a passion for me, I have been in travel for quite some time (too long to remember) from Corporate to Leisure.

I aim to help people no matter what their plans are to create the best holiday experience possible. I enjoy being part of our travellers experience and making the whole process as easy as possible & to create fantastic memories that are special and will last a lifetime for themselves and their families.

I have travelled to some amazing places, but one stands out, the 6 months I spent working on Antarctica at McMurdo Station is a highlight & backpacking through India was a challenge.

From visiting the many aspects of Australia, Asia, South Africa & South America to basking in the sun on the Maldives or hitting the beaches and shopping in Thailand I would love to help you create some new stories & memories. I love active holidays and have followed the Moto GP / Formula 1 and the Isle of Man TT was particularly exciting. Followed by walking up on Mt Kinabalu was another eventful trip.

However, every great adventure starts with a plan, and I would be honoured to help you with that plan, whether you take the road less travelled or one of the many roads that lead to Rome.

I look forward to helping you to create more wonderful stories and memories in the coming years.

House of Travel Papamoa

Travel has been an integral part of my life for over 20 years, and I can't imagine pursuing anything else. This year, I proudly celebrate my 17th year with House of Travel Papamoa, where I truly love being a 'hottie.' Our store boasts a fantastic team culture that makes coming to work a joyful experience every day.

I find immense satisfaction in crafting bespoke itineraries that transform my clients' dreams into reality. While the USA remains my favourite destination, my travels have also taken me through the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, the enchanting South Pacific, vibrant Australia, diverse Europe, and picturesque Canada and Alaska. This year (2024), I had the incredible opportunity to experience the magic of South Africa, where witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat is nothing short of breath-taking. Being on safari brings you so close to majestic animals, just meters away, creating unforgettable memories.

Remember, your holiday begins the moment you step through our door. I invite you to share your vision of the perfect getaway—how it looks and feels, any research you've conducted, and your essential must-haves. The more we delve into your aspirations together, the more extraordinary your holiday will be!

Best stopover flights from New Zealand to Europe

Why rush through your journey to Europe when you can add another adventure along the way?

Cheap flights to Europe: Why the lowest fare isn’t always the smartest

Low fares often hide extra fees because budget tickets can exclude essentials like checked baggage, seat selection or meals.

How to travel around Italy?

Europe's most magical train rides

Whether you’re a slow travel convert or chasing that once-in-a-lifetime bucket list moment, these iconic rail journeys will make you fall in love with the journey itself.

Living like a local

This is about heartbeats not highlights — getting your hands doughy in an Italian kitchen, hearing old village stories over a pint, or wandering a backstreet in Portugal that’s not even on Google Maps.

Jewels of Southern Europe

From secret fjords to seaside feasts and sunken relics, discover the southern gems of Europe before the rest of the world catches on.

Up-and-Coming Corners of Europe

Beach lovers or history buffers? Early risers or night crawlers? No two travellers are the same. Except for the one question posed by all those who travel. So where to next?

Find your sea legs or hang on to your land legs. Discover Europe by wheel, rail or sail.

Cruising in a Winter Wonderland

Sail through Europe’s storybook towns, where twinkling lights, mulled wine and magical markets make for the ultimate Christmas escape.

Italy: Food, Glorious Food!

If you’re heading to Italy, come hungry. From silky carbonara in Rome to truffle-dusted risotto in the north, these are the bites worth booking your flights around.
