Steph organised the travel details for our holiday of a lifetime. She was amazingly efficient in booking our flights, transport within New Zealand and ferry crossings. She also organised accommodation for our first couple of nights in Auckland. Throughout the booking process and whilst we were on holiday Steph was brilliant acting as our anchor and making sure that we were booked in for flights, etc. She made a brilliant holiday perfect.

Stephanie found me the exact hotel I was trying to book and was at a competitive price. Once I agreed to book, Stephanie took all the stress out of the paperwork and did it all for me.
