Our clients give us purpose. TravelEssences show European clients what Australia and New Zealand are really like. They see your world through local eyes and away from mass tourism. They don’t just go on holiday, they experience the real essence of travel.
Who are your guests?
Your future guests are singles, couples or families, typically 40 to 70 years old and on holiday for 3 to 10 weeks. As experienced travellers, your clients know what they like. They focus on nature and the outdoors. They are eager to learn about new cultures and have personal experiences. They love getting off the beaten track and hearing about things that tourists don’t know about. This all comes together in their dream holiday when they visit you.
"We really look forward to the arrival of our guests from TravelEssence. They are so eager to learn everything about our area. From birdlife, native animals, local history, and of course the best tips on somewhere to eat out or have a drink with a local"
Keith - host of an eco lodge in Australia
When and how do they travel?
You will receive well-matched and happy guests from the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. Your future clients typically travel in the shoulder seasons to avoid the crowds and summer heat. They will generally stay two to four nights at your location and will have a rental vehicle. Their once-in-a-lifetime holiday is always custom designed and arranged one-on-one with a travel specialist.

What are our guests after?
Our goal is to have clients rave about their holidays. It's why we invest time to help you fine tune the experiences you offer for your guests. We want you to be able to focus on them, so our processes are as simple as possible. Our clients come to us because we specialise in small unique locations curated into a delightful holiday where they travel from one great place to the next.
"It seems like the TravelEssence staff are far more interested in pairing their clients with the right kinds of experiences, as opposed to booking them on anything and everything simply to maximise profits."
Mat - host of a sailing operator in New Zealand
How to keep your guests smiling?
We have a recipe for a perfect guest experience. Start with cleanliness. Add a splash of happy hosting and a warm welcome. Follow up with comfy beds and extra care. Save them a seat to enjoy nature. To finish, show a desire to help. This gives guests the holiday of a lifetime.
