Kim Mason Personal Travel Manager

“Hi Kim, Thank you! We have had a great holiday. One whole month without a second thought of anything other than what we were doing that day and what we were doing the next day! We both wanted to thank you for the time and preparation you gave into helping us with out holiday. Your recommendations about not trying to cram too much in were spot on and we really did have a lovely relaxing holiday. We particularly enjoyed the Cinque Terre and I think we would both love to go back there to enjoy the lovely climate, the beautiful walks and the natural feeling of relaxation that it offers. Thank you also for your recommendations of the hotels both in Venice and Monterosso. They were both excellent in service and location and we would gladly recommend them to others. We also had no problems with train connections which pretty much ran smoothly. Both Kim and I also thoroughly enjoyed our independent holidays with Kim having a great and successful time on his cycling tour and me with the new experience of my tour through Slovenia/Croatia/Bosnia. It was a great tour and I loved the places I visited. A special note about my independent tour of Lake Bled - it was a highlight with my individual driver excellent and making my day particularly enjoyable and relaxing. A wonderful start to my holiday. So, thank you again for all your help and recommendations which contributed to a great holiday had by us both. Regards”

“Hope you and yours are well. We had a fabulous holiday! Carnival Spirit are well set up for families and we appreciated the ease of having everything we needed.. So much food!! Brian and I dined by ourselves a couple of nights and went to a later show which was a treat:-) the verandah made a difference, even though we didn't spend a lot of time out there, just being able to see the ocean etc none of us got sick, thankfully!! The girls and brian wore the wristbands and we all took a travel sickness medication before we left... highly recommend Carnival Spirit, friendly, professional and fun and your family were made to feel like they were the only family onboard! will definitely go back one day:-) Regards”

“No worries Kim, wouldn't recommend you to a friend if I wasn't 100% confident of your service! Cheers Regards”

The tours were also very good and would recommend your services to our friends without any hesitation. Once again many thanks and look forward to our next vacation.”

“We had a fantastic time! The seats we had were really good. In the shade (which we were so thankful for) and we were so lucky with the matches we saw. We worked out that we got to see the top 7 men’s seeds (excl Rafa as he lost in Round 1) and almost the same with the women’s. So very lucky! The atmosphere was amazing. Sofitel was fantastic. My kind of hotel! Easy distance from the tennis centre and shopping of course. We really had a great time and thank you for very much for all your help and patience. I think we may just have to go again!”

“Thanks Kim for all your fantastic help in organising our New Zealand road trip! Trying to plan our itinerary was a bit overwhelming when looking at the whole country. Your in-depth knowledge of New Zealand was invaluable in figuring out where to stop, what to do and how to maximise our time based on our interests. Thanks also for some great tour recommendations. We really enjoyed Hobbiton, Waitomo caving, white water rafting and the glacier explorers tour.”

“We had a great time in Japan and everything went like clockwork with all the travel arrangements. Two of the highlights for us were the Tea Ceremony in Kyoto and the stay in the Ryokan in Hakone. So traditional and really great. Skiing fantastic in Niseko too with great accommodation. Thank you for all your efforts. It was well worth it.”

“Thank you for checking in. My trip was AMAZING I had such a good time. Loved everywhere we went and the accommodation was great too. Thanks for all of your help booking.”

“We had the most fabulous time! Everything went so smoothly. We loved The Atlantis (obviously!!!) and really knocked the jet lag out of us! Arabian adventures were always there waiting for us and very friendly. Thank you I’ll be in touch for our next big trip!!!”

“We had the best time ever . It was really an amazing experience... the itinerary , accommodation, flights etc all was just so well organised. And we would both highly recommend Lukimbi Lodge to anyone . Just amazing . We cant stop talking about how good it was. Thanks again Kim. I would gladly go through you again for my next trip. Really appreciate your help”

“Hi Kim, Firstly can I say that you and Abercrombie & Kent now own us! We had the greatest experience for the entire holiday, it was fun and plenty to do and see. I could go on for hours about our adventure but I will keep it short (as I have so much to do today). The food was sensational the lodges were above anything we would have imagined. The whole holiday was perfect. As such we will certainly be doing more of the same in Australia. Thanks so very much for the experience and we look forward to our next holiday. Cheers.”

“Hi Kim We had a fabulous time away The Greek Islands were amazing and you did a great job with our trip planning! Each time we arrived at a location our transfer was waiting for us which ensured that everything went really smoothly A couple of stand -outs Crete- Lovely hotel in a central location looking our onto the water. Friendly staff and lovely outdoor bar area The Villa accommodation in Santorini was a great choice – easy access to city centre and great views of the water, sunset etc. Mykonos- the beach Report/Spa we stayed at was probably the best accommodation that I have ever stayed at. It had beautiful facilities, Day Spa , great food at a very reasonable price and outstanding service If you are booking others on these islands I would definitely consider the options above Thanks again for helping to make our trip memorable”

“Hi Kim, we had the best holiday of our lives. Celebrity cruises were so amazing 10 out of 10 doesn’t go high enough. The Stamford in Auckland was also amazing with absolutely gorgeous accommodating staff. The Paihia accommodation was also wonderful. We came back feeling completely renewed. Thank you so muchFor all your hard work. It was evident throughout the entire trip that everything was organised beautifully. Now back to reality! Thank you again XX”

“Dear Kim, We hope that you and your family are all safe and well. Thank you so very, very much for all your hard work. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate it. You are a legend. We hope that soon we’ll all be able to get back to our travelling lives once again with, of course, your wonderful help and assistance. All the best. Kindest regards and warmest wishes. .”

“Hi Kim, Thank you so much for our little Italy book which arrived in the mail yesterday. That’s so sweet and thoughtful of you. Makes me want to be there right now, and we would be in Sorrento at this very minute  Thanks again, and will definitely be booking travel again when we can. Have a lovely day!”

“Thanks Kim, once again your service has been exemplary!”

“ Kim I cannot thank you enough for all you have done on our behalf and your concern ...you are credit to your self and the travel industry ”

“Kim, I am continually impressed with the professional way that you go out helping your customers/clients. "Professionals are defined not by the business they are in, but by the way they are in business!" You fit this definition beautifully. Thanks for the link and additional advice.”

“Hi Kim, The trip was fantastic. The Mulia was voted the best resort we have ever stayed in by every member of my family! It was really outstanding. The buffet breakfasts were vast, the rooms and bathrooms were beautiful (the fully automated toilet seats were a hit!), and the huge selection of pools made the lazy days a lot of fun. The gym was the best equipped gym we have ever seen (for either a resort or a commercial gym). We booked day trips to Ubud and to the Uluwatu Temple, and also made a couple of trips in taxis to Seminyak and Kuta. So the kids got to see a bit of Bali outside the resort, and I got to remember and appreciate how beautiful the place really is. Thank you very much for organising the interconnecting rooms with the extra bed - that all worked perfectly, and we arrived at midnight to a selection of cakes and macarons in our rooms with a happy anniversary card for us (and a happy birthday card for all three kids - it wasn't their birthdays, so they thought it was hilarious! - it was just a nice excuse for the hotel to include cakes in their room too I think!) We booked a fancy dinner in the hotel for our last night, to celebrate our anniversary, and that was fantastic. We were served by a lovely waitress who excitedly told us she had just gotten engaged, which seemed very fitting for our special dinner! ..It was a spectacular holiday, thank you very much for helping us book it! Cheers, N”

“A Perfectly Perfect Family Vacation We hadn't met Kim when we chose her for a multigenerational European holiday set for April 2020. We are so grateful that Kim was our choice. Not only did she seamlessly plan a spectacular holiday but when covid closed borders weeks before we were to leave, she became advocate, ally and champion - managing flight refunds and generous vouchers for accommodation that would have been beyond our capability and patience.Fast-forward 3 years and she has supported our reinvented plans for now 17 people, grandparents, parents, and five children 10, 8, 5, 5, 22 months. Kim found perfect accommodation for this diverse group - sometimes together in a French country 'Manoir' or a smart Georgian Townhouse in London, or near each other in a mix of family suites/single rooms in perfect hotels across Europe. Transfers were a highlight: proper 'coaches' to carry all luggage and toddler equipment. We had the smoothest of trips, knowing that Kim was at the end of a phone if anything went wrong. ”

“We were fortunate enough to spend a month in UK/Europe in the summer as a family of 4 (two kids under 10 and two adults). We have engaged Kim numerous times to help us organise holidays (from local Australian trips, Fiji and now Europe/UK), and as always, she was brilliant. Highly reliable and responsive, she works within your budget and finds absolute gems to ensure your holiday is exactly what you’re after. Kim is so friendly, approachable and her knowledge is second to none. If you’re looking for a travel agent, then I highly recommend Kim Mason!”

“We have used Kim for many of our holidays, starting from our honeymoon. I now trust her with every holiday. I don’t need to worry if I’m missing out on something when we travel as she has thought of everything. Always picks the greatest location and accommodation. It’s nice knowing that we have a travel agent that knows our family, our budget to give us an amazing holiday.”
