As one of the world’s top cities to visit, Sydney has a vibrant buzz year round with its endless list of high profile events, iconic landmarks, popular beaches and stunning harbour. If you want to get a feel for Sydney, here’s a tip: head straight to Sydney Harbour, one of the most photographed locations in the world. Nothing compares with seeing the harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House with your own eyes. Take a stroll along Circular Quay and soak up the atmosphere. As well as being a main transport hub, Circular Quay has some of the city’s best restaurants, including Quay, Aria Sydney and Café Sydney. Only a 10 minute stroll from the Sydney Town Hall, Darling Harbour is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious harbourside meal or experience the energetic nightlife. As an absolute shopper’s paradise, there are seemingly endless options whatever you’re looking for. In the heart of the CBD is the Queen Victoria Building, dating back to the 1890s, this grand and beautiful building is one of the city’s premier shopping destinations. Further south you’ll find Chinatown, with Paddy’s Markets and some great Chinese restaurants on offer. There is no denying it: Sydney is one of the premier destinations for events in Australia. The city ends each year and kicks-off every new year with a world-renowned display of fireworks, plus there are countless festivals, cultural exhibitions, days of celebration, and sporting events filling Sydney’s calendar. Discover famous coastal beaches such as Bondi, Bronte, Coogee, Manly and Palm Beach, all popular with backpackers, billionaires, board riders and the body beautiful.

TravelManagers Australia

TravelManagers operates in all Australian States and is a wholly owned subsidiary of House of Travel. Since first opening in New Zealand in 1986 and its arrival in Australia in 2007, House of Travel has grown into the largest independent travel company in Australasia. TravelManagers is a sister company to Hoot Holidays, also owned by House of Travel, and has a network of personal travel managers in all states and territories throughout Australia with a dedicated support team at the company’s national partnership office in Sydney. This means that not only do our personal travel managers have access to amazing travel deals, but customers are provided with the security that their money is secure through the booking process. TravelManagers places all customer money in a dedicated and audited Client Trust Account which is separate from the general business accounts, ensuring client funds are secure and only used for client purchases.

As individual as you are

Whether you’re planning an annual break, a bucket list holiday or your next business trip, a personal travel manager will make it a wonderful experience. With personal travel managers having on average over 20 years’ travel experience each, they will take care of all your travel arrangements and provide that insider information to save you time and create a trip that is tailored just for you.

What’s a personal travel manager?

Think of a personal travel manager the way you’d think of your mortgage broker, a personal trainer or financial planner – they’re here to help you achieve a specific goal in their field of expertise. They get to know you, understand what your needs and priorities are and provide a service which is suitable for you. In this case, it’s travel. And whether you’re travelling for business or for fun, your personal travel manager will work closely with you to create a tailor-made trip that’s as individual as you are.

Other businesses may call them travel agents or travel advisors, but we prefer personal travel manager (PTM) because of the highly personalised service they provide to their clients. Regardless of what we call them, this handy information sheet by the Australia Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) highlights some of the key aspects in understanding the role of a PTM and the legal relationships between consumer, PTM and Travel Providers.

More about TravelManagers Australia

The Value of a PTM

The Australian travel industry’s most respected and highly-awarded home-based travel advisor network. This is evident through the awards and accolades we have achieved.

A summary of why you can trust TravelManagers and its Australia-wide personal travel manager network with your hard earned money.

Travel starts long before you leave home. Researching and booking all your arrangements can be time consuming and overwhelming. Leave that to your personal travel manager (or PTM for short).

10 Reasons Why You Need a Personal Travel Manager

Whether you’re planning your annual family beach holiday, a short break with friends, or a once-in-a-lifetime epic adventure, choosing to book with an experienced personal travel manager (PTM) could transform your holiday from enjoyable to exceptional… Here’s why:

What our clients are saying

"Andrea's attention to detail consistently delivered wonderful travel experiences. Every flight, tour and accommodation booking was made with a real understanding of our expectations and needs." - Anthony & Terri

"We had an amazing time and everything went according to plan. Thank you for all your efforts in arranging this holiday for us. We will certainly be in touch for our next adventure." - Lynn and Graham

Postcard from Samoa

What a fantastic place to visit for a family holiday. Cute villages with friendly locals always ready with a smile and wave.

Postcard from Tuscany

Ciao! Who doesn't love Italy?! A wonderful country to visit. So much to see and do...

Postcards from Japan

In June 2019 I was invited to go on a Wendy Wu educational to Japan which was just wonderful! We started in Tokyo which was a little crazy and then made our way to Hakone, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Koyasan before a short stop on Osaka on return to Tokyo. 

Postcards from Bali

A holiday to Bali was in need to farewell a cold Christchurch Winter. 10 Nights was a great amount of time away, split between Ubud and Nusa Dua.

Postcards from Samoa

A return to Samoa in June 2019 was for a different type of trip - this time for a family holiday with a 9 month baby in tow!

Postcard from Fiji

Bula, come to Fiji! I love Fiji and have been there many times over the years and have pretty much been to most of the main touristy areas and stayed in lots of different resorts.
