🌍 Attention travellers! 🌍Starting in 2025, New Zealand passport holders will need an ETIAS Travel Authorisation to visit Europe’s Schengen Zone. It’s quick and easy—apply online for just €7 (NZ$12.50). Plus, from November 2024, Europe is introducing the Entry/Exit System (EES) which replaces passport stamps with biometric data for smoother border crossings. ✈️

Planning a trip to Europe? Chat with us at House of Travel to make sure you’re ready for these changes!

From mid-next year Kiwis will be required to pay an entry fee, but another change should make travelling the EU easier.

USA is a dream destination for all families who love fun, food, and THEMEPARKS! If you’re thinking of taking your kids to the USA, see just how much fun it can be! Here’s Paula from House of Travel Hornby recent experience to the States.

🚂 Scenic Train Ride Down the Southern California Coast
Paula’s journey kicked off with a scenic train ride down the Southern California coast, providing not only a stress-free travel alternative but also breathtaking views and a unique perspective on local life.

🌟 Trendsetting West Hollywood
While in West Hollywood, Paula and her family immersed themselves in a reality TV-like experience, spotting celebrities, flashy cars, and famous attractions.
💜A highlight was visiting the iconic Central Perk during their Warner Bros. Studio tour.

🎢 Fun in Anaheim
Their time in Anaheim was a contrast of colours, focusing on more family-oriented activities. “The kids enjoyed the excitement of Disneyland,” exploring theme parks, rides, and indulging in the rich array of dining and shopping options.
💜The Casa de Pancho is a must when it comes to food!

🏖️ Relaxation in Hawaii
The trip extended to Hawaii, and Paula and her family enjoyed some well-deserved relaxation on the iconic beaches of Waikiki. A perfect balance of relaxation and fun.

🌸Family Holiday in Japan! 🇯🇵👨‍👩‍👧

Japan is a dream destination for families who love fun, food, and culture. Are you thinking about taking the kids to Japan? Well – here’s just how fun it can be!
Leanne from House of Travel Upper Riccarton recently returned from an unforgettable holiday with her family and shares her experience and top tips!

🎢 Stay at the Disney Toy Story Hotel
Staying at the Disney Toy Story Hotel was “worth it’s weight in gold”, Leanne says and recommends this for all Disney fans of all ages. Plus, you'll get to skip the huge queues at the Disney park with the "Happy Entry" perk. And the best part? You'll wake up to a stunning view of Mt Fuji from your window!

🍜Enjoy the Street Food
Japan is a foodie paradise, and you don't have to spend a fortune to eat well. Try the street food, the noodle soups, the sushi, and more. Leanne and her family of 3 only spent around $40-50NZD a day on food, with breakfast included at the hotel.

🏙️ Visit Kidzania
“Our 6-year-old loved Kidzania, where kids try grown-up jobs.” It’s a must for families with kids aged 5-10. They can be firefighters, doctors, chefs, pilots, and more. It's a great way to learn and have fun at the same time. Tip: Make sure you book a Wednesday if you want some activities in English, and arrive early to avoid the crowds.

🌅 Day trip to Odaiba
Escaping Tokyo’s hustle for a day in Odaiba is a surreal experience. Ehukai Beach Bar, Legoland, the giant Gundam robot, and SEGA Joypolis are MUST-SEE attractions. It’s the perfect day trip for any family!
