Did you know I look after and book private group touring options for schools, small groups, families, friends, sporting groups etc?

I’m currently finalizing a group booking for a Secondary School with almost 30 students and teachers flying into Paris and out of Krakow in December for a WW battlefields/ Christmas markets tour.

The airfares are held all together with only one stop in each direction for less than 2 hours and with a trusted and well respected airline.
Every day is customized for where the school wants to stay, what they want to do and all inclusions they are after.

I’m also constructing and customizing my private group adventure for next October 2025 to the Deep South USA. Nashville, the mighty Mississippi, Memphis & New Orleans all on the itinerary.
I can not wait to let you know what’s involved. I will be hosting this trip. It’s going to be an absolute blast filled with music, history and food.

Hi everyone,
I've amalgamated both pages to become one.
You will still see the Secret Stays properties you love but you will also have access to all other destinations etc worldwide and local too with my mainstream travel platform.

My business is made up of two components Melissa Loynes Personal Travel Manager and Secret Stays, both focussed in the same direction, ensuring you have the most amazing customer service experience wether it be local or abroad.

I have posted very little to my pages recently and have been working quietly in the background on both components looking after repeat and referal business which I am now going to open up and start advertising again.

The wheels are in motion for planning my Deep South USA Tour 2025. Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans and more.
I will release with you soon, I’m just trying to work out some months of departure and tailor making it to suit all different options. I want you to get the best out of this region, wether it’s music, history, food, h***y tonks, jazz bars and more.
Can .. not … wait 😍 and I will be with you on this incredible adventure with you!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted.
I’m now looking at the portfolio of properties that I have listed and available for Secret Stays and I need your feedback and input …

What do you want to see on Secret Stays? What do you love about what have you have seen on Secret Stays?
Would you like to see International options? What destinations do you want to immerse yourself in?
Do I look at the private group/retreat space? Solo options and private groups? Bigger group options?
Do I make the portfolio smaller and easier to use?

I’m all ears and would love to hear what your thoughts are. The concept will still be the same, Unique, Immersive, bespoke and very special.

I was in the middle of creating this new user friendly web option and I was finding it very challenging because some of the properties I had listed had changed ownership, had sold or just weren’t aligning anymore with the mould for Secret Stays. It’s a forever changing field.

This is where I come to you because you are who I want to impress and you are why I do this ❤️✨

You can send me a private message if you prefer or email me. [email protected]
My mobile number has been changed to 0401647931.

I was lucky enough to have the most perfect girls weekend in the tiny and gorgeous town in Loch Victoria. One hour and a half from Melbourne CBD.
There’s so much to explore from this little
gem Secret Stay that has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and views of the gorgeous countryside. So much attention to detail and gorgeously furnished. You can tell a lot of love has been put into your stay.
There’s the famous Loch Gin distillery at the end of the road. Enjoy some woodfire pizza, a stroll into the boutique shops or a coffee at the cutest cafes. If you love getting out into nature there is the suspension bridge and the railway trail you can also explore.
I loved it here 😍🙏
