Thanks again for everything. You have been amazing!!!! If you ever need a reference I’d be happy to give you one.

I would like to say thank you for making my family holiday fantastic at Whitsunday Holiday Apartments on Hamilton Island. I will definitely use your services to book another holiday again.

Hope my message finds you well.. I trust you had a wonderful Christmas & New Year.. I just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful holiday. The Mantra on Cavil Ave was beautiful. We are SO relaxed...

Spoke to you today about tilt train travel booking. YOU would have to be the the most bubbly person I have ever encountered on the phone. Well done, pity there was not more like you on customer service dept. If I still had my business you would be at the top of the list for a management job!!!! What a great woman.
