If you haven't been to either Australia or New Zealand this is your one-stop-shop.
Consider a self-drive tour of New Zealand followed by one of our Australian flexible travel itineraries. These combined flights, accommodation and guided activities.
This could be your most affordable, best-value option because you get access to Australian Escapes travel club pricing. There is zero joining fee if you book though Kiwi Escapes
Australian Escapes was started in 2001 in Brisbane to promote discounted resort accommodation packages. The first resort we promoted was called "Rydges Oasis Resort" at Caloundra on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. In 2002 we started the first travel club in Australia to provide members with access to a wider range of discounted holiday options. Our Gold Coast office (pictured below) was opened in 2005 and Kiwi Escapes opened in 2009.
In 2014 the firm commenced operations as a full-service travel agency offering significant discounts off domestic and international travel of all types.
We challenge online and shop-front travel agent pricing by offering clients the same or better service with travel package prices that are 15% to 40% lower than typical retail. Clients are often amazed or even shocked at the price differences. One reason for the great value is simply that we don't have the big retail overheads to support. But more importantly, our basic purpose or reason for existence is to deliver the best overall value.
Shop around online and book your own accommodation or domestic flights if you want; most of the time you will get reasonable pricing. However if you're planning more complex New Zealand or Australian holiday, then you will certainly benefit from our experience and potentially save thousands of dollars.
Travel Directions Pty. Ltd. operates Global Escapes Travel, Australian Escapes Holiday & Travel Club and Kiwi Escapes. The managing director is John Greenbury.
