Highly reccomend
Dealing with Streeter and turner travel associates has again been a very easy straightforward experience.
This is the 2nd time we have booked through them and Fiona and Karla have been amazing at sorting us out for our emergency trip to the UK during a covid world.
I would highly recommend them for any of your travel experiences, they were always in touch and double checking our requirements for what would need for our trip.
Excellent service, great personal correspondence and nothing was too much trouble!!

Following a close bereavment in the U.K…
Following a close bereavment in the U.K i suddenly found myself having to try to get there for the funeral and back, as well as having to try and book an MIQ spot. To make this situation even more complicated it all had to be sorted over the Christmas period as i had to travel early Jan. I honestly don't know how i would have made it happen had it not been for the huge amount of help and support from my Travel Associate representative Fiona Laver, based at the Merivale, Christchurch store. Fiona found out everything i needed to know/do to obtain a spot in MIQ as well as all the tests, forms etc that i would need to fly to and from the u.k. To make matters worse i only recieved the news that i had been granted an MIQ spot at 5.30 on Christmas eve and having to confirm flights over the following 48 hrs meant that Fiona had to give up holiday time on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in order to get my flights booked. Everything went so smoothly for me with Fiona always on hand when i had problems or questions. She has handled all of our flights since we moved to NZ 17 years ago including trips to the U.k, Greece, Australia and Thailand and everything has run perfectly smoothly on every occasion. We would like to thank Travel Associates and particularly Fiona Laver for her excellent service.

Great service
Our agent Michael from Howick branch is the best. Always has time and patience to explain all our questions and worries. Always answers our questions what were asked like quazilion times without any sign of frustration. :-) Last time we have travelled in global pandemic with 2years old and Michael made sure that every possible situation has been covered, he troubleshoot everything what occurred without stressing us out but always has been straight with the situation. In the end our flight has been cancelled 2 hours prior our drive to the airport and he worked miracle to get us home for Christmas regardless this cancellation. He even replied my emails during his leave. Thanks Michael, we will definitely use your services next time again.

Tanya was absolutely incredible
Tanya was absolutely incredible, she made the whole process super easy and hassle free. You can tell that Tanya knows what she is doing which gave me complete confidence in her. I would 1000% recommend Tanya to anyone wanting to travel, she is simply amazing!

Excellent and Personable Service
I first contacted Sarah Jamieson from Martin and Turner Travel Associates (Auckland) in November 2021 when looking to travel to the USA from NZ.
From the start, Sarah has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable, particularly around the ever-evolving rules regarding Covid-19. She has always been very prompt in communication and has delivered every step of the way.
On top of this, she has proactively contacted me about items or developments relevant to my situation/trip, which is exceptional when considering my previous experiences with other agents.
I would highly recommend Sarah for any travel needs and would not hesitate to use her services again. Thanks!

Great service making everything easier
Natasha was helped me to get home during a very difficult time. It was nice to be able to trust someone to take care of the details and make sure everything was in order when venturing out of N.Z. and to the new reality of travel. There were so many little things to remember (which country requires what) and she found out about it all and made sure I only had to show up at the airport and enjoy my trip. Thank you. It was HUGE help!

Amazing service
After months of trying I finally secured a spot in MIQ. Being given 48 hours to secure flights to the UK was beyond stressful, but Kylie made the whole thing an absolute breeze.
With a booking reference provided within hours I was able to confirm my spot in MIQ. The tickets were in my hand almost immediately. Talk about taking the stress out of a stressful situation! Amazing service. Thanks so much :-)

Excellent service
Excellent service. though my booking was relatively minor, tania managed it as if it were a world cruise. I had several changes which she sorted out so well. Definitely best to go to people who know how to sort out the details for a quality holiday.

Paihia Winter Getaway
Hi there, We had Karla Cavanagh at Streeter and Turner assist us with all our bookings from start to finish for our holiday, even to the extent that she researched a Getaway advertised in the Travel Magazine which Travel Associates knew nothing of. She was most helpful and proactive in ensuring all our questions were answered about our trip. Her professionalism and courtesy with all the communication I had with her was 110% on the button :-) Thanks Karla

I cannot recommend Craig Martin enough....
I cannot recommend Craig Martin highly enough. He has helped us book amazing holidays for six years now, always listening to our needs and then adding suggestions we hadn't dreamed were possible. He is so knowledgeable, understands the needs of different age groups, and keeps us informed. During Covid we had a number of delayed flights and cancellations and Craig was incredibly accomodating even though we knew this was affecting him as well. That's why, we will always go back to Craig, he goes the extra mile every time.

The Best Team!
Thank you so much!
For years I have asked Michael for help with my travel bookings, insurances etc etc. He always tailors long haul flights to suit price, time preferences, government regulations etc. Thank you for getting me home each and every time and for the excellent followups. Michael, you are an absolute superstar! I highly recommend the team for anyone looking for some friendly and professional advice.
