Your holiday, your way.

Planned by people not platforms.

ABOUT THE SERVICE

You’ve earned this time. But in a world of automated bookings and DIY travel hacks, it’s easy to forget that a truly exceptional getaway needs more than a search bar.

At Sanford Travel, we offer what platforms can’t: emotional intelligence, lived experience, and the ability to plan with both heart and strategy.

We take the time to understand your rhythm, your taste, and your version of rest – so whether it’s a secluded villa, a multi-generational escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, it feels entirely your own.

Because your holiday isn’t just about getting away. It’s about coming back with a story.

TESTIMONIALS

Real people. Real adventures.

“
Dianne and Warwick Patenall
“We have known Sarah since 2013 and have used her as our travel agent pretty much every year since then. We call her “the best travel agent in the world“!!

Sarah quickly understands our requirements and uses her wealth of knowledge and travel experience to put a travel plan together that just hits the spot. She is available, responsive and no issue is too much trouble. Sarah has bailed us out of a few problems while we were overseas- above and beyond normal expectations and, with time differences, outside working hours.”

“Sarah Hackett has looked after our travel and visits from overseas friends for a great many years. She is always reliable, efficient and keen to help. She handles changes with aplomb and is always a happy voice on the phone. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends for their holiday plans.”
