    Travel Advisor

    Bringing 18 years of destination and industry experience to Travel Associates, Melanie Rumble lives her excitement for travel through helping clients achieve their perfect holiday.

     “Researching a destination, putting together a detailed itinerary and hearing all about the holiday when my client returns, lets me experience the joy of travel on a daily basis,” says Melanie, who initially started in the travel industry due to her own passion for travel and an interest in being able to help others successfully plan and achieve their dream holidays.

    A passionate traveller, some of Melanie’s favourite travel memories are a visit to the USA, one of the world’s great playgrounds. Her extensive travels saw her cross states packed with sun-drenched beaches and national parks, dusty deserts, big buzzing cities and laid-back cowboy towns. Greece is another favourite for its classic combination of history and mystery, Tiffany-blue waters and rugged Mediterranean landscapes, while a luxurious Eastern Caribbean cruise left her wanting for more.

    A trained and qualified New Zealand expert through the 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist Programme, Melanie is well placed to plan a one-of-a-kind New Zealand holiday through her heightened knowledge of the destination.  

    She also brings substantial expertise to Fiji holidays, her love of the destination seeing her visit on multiple occasions. She is able to draw on that lived experience exploring the islands in planning her client’s perfect Fiji holiday, sharing hidden gems along with the top attractions, best tours and stunning accommodation. With three young children Melanie also has a natural interest in creating memorable family holidays for her discerning clients.

    Passionate about her role as a Travel Advisor, Melanie loves that no day or client is the same.

    “I love that every client has their own unique journey or adventure and the excitement of helping them plan their dream holiday never wears off.”

    Melanie is waiting to use her expertise to tailor-make your ultimate travel experience.

    Travel represents freedom and adventure, a chance to explore new cultures, meet diverse people, and experience life from different perspectives. I absolutely love experiencing new destinations, but also re-visiting some favourite places that you may have special connections and memories with can make your soul feel at home.
