At TravelEssence, we specialise in crafting custom-made holidays that take you off the beaten path and create memories to last a lifetime. We believe in connecting with the heart and soul of a place, introducing you to the locals who call it home. Engage in conversations with fascinating individuals who will share their stories, traditions, and way of life, leaving an indelible mark on your journey.
Travel Australia at a relaxed pace and see the country through the eyes of the locals. We recommend spending a minimum of two to three nights at each place. By doing this, you can really experience and get to know each location. Instead of blasting past all of the ‘highlights’ and returning home exhausted. This suits the children more too.
Each place is unique with its own charm and characteristics. Discover the local treasures. Meet the locals and explore the corners away from the mainstream. Take your time and absorb the culture and lifestyle of the Aussies. How long do you need in Australia? Well, how much time do you have? And what would you like to see and do?
Travelling through Australia for five or more weeks gives you so much flexibility. At a relaxed pace, you will be able to visit a variety of places, all unique and different and with a diversity of climates. We recommend taking a few domestic flights to save time driving. Where would you like to go?
Depending on your wishes and how long you have, it is also possible to visit New Zealand. Have you considered exploring the South Island? Or the geothermal wonders of the North Island? Or perhaps, you would like to explore one of our stopover locations for longer. Let’s chat about the possibilities.
