About Karryn Bartlett

Looking for a holiday – or an unforgettable travel experience?

Hi, my name is Karryn and with over 20 years of travel industry experience, constant training and a lifetime love of travel, I offer a personal and professional travel service to all my clients.  Creating awesome holiday experiences is my passion along with saving you money, time and stress. Getting you the best deals and tailor-making your travel to your needs is my specialty.

As a Personal Travel Manager I have the freedom to plan your holidays when and where it suits you. If you are on the NSW Mid North Coast, Hunter or Central Coast I am happy to personally meet with you and talk about your plans for your upcoming holiday. I can meet you in the comfort of your home, at a local cafe or club. Otherwise, I am happy to talk with you via phone, email or Skype/Zoom.

I love all types of cruising and love the concept of unpacking once and starting your holiday the moment you get on board. If cruising is not your “thing” and you want to experience other methods of travel I can assist you with any type of holiday whether it be flying, rail journeys, self-drive holidays or a great package deal.

I use my 20+ years of experience and expertise, including my Masters in Cruising, and my New Zealand and Golf Touring specialisations, to create the ideal itinerary to suit you.

I have recently expanded my business to include “Cruise Adventures”. Working in conjunction with my TravelManagers business, I specialise in Cruise Packages for couples, families or groups, where your cruise is not just a cruise it’s an adventure!

    We’ve been dealing with Karryn since just before Covid where she had organised for us a fabulous trip to the UK and Iceland. Then Covid hit and poor Karryn then spent countless hours trying to obtain refunds and credits. Two years later using some of our credits Karryn then organised a Darwin to Broome Kimberly tour which  was absolutely amazing. Now we’re in the throngs of finally rebooking Iceland, Norway and UK. With a hand on heart Karryn has been without doubt the most patient, professional, knowledgeable, understanding and utterly fabulous travel agent.

    First experience with Karryn was cruising around Greece with a group of 12. Our holiday was fantastic we were well looked after by Karryn,  we had a couple of problems with transport and flights but Karryn handled everything very professionally.  I would recommend Karryn to anyone wishing an enjoyable holiday.

    Karryn books all my cruises for me.  She knows so much having cruised herself but also goes to tours on lots of the ships when they are in port.  Karryn also is a great source of info on destinations as she has been to lots of them.  I know I am in safe, experienced hands.

    Karryn definitely knows her stuff. She’s helped me organise not only trips around Australia but also trips overseas, a few Fiji trips and a trip to Hawaii. Wouldn’t ask anyone else for advice on what to do, where to go, because she knows it all. Thanks Karryn for all your help.

    We have been lucky to have Karryn organise several trips for us over the years. Each holiday has been trouble free, and we have had a wonderful time.I used to research and book my own holidays, which takes a lot of time and has an element of risk. Knowing that Karryn has a large company behind her ensures accomodation is appropriate and can obtain discounts on tours etc means all the work has been done for me.Am currently having Karryn organise two more trips for us in 2024, Machu Pichu and Egypt. The trips are all planned, all we have to do is wait to enjoy.

    Karryn was so easy to deal with for our cruise. She was quick to respond to any queries and always had time for myself and my family. She made our first time cruising very easy to understand, and secured speedy on board priority, which was a godsend with two little kids! She was always professional and friendly and went above and beyond when possible. Very knowledgeable for any questions we had as well.My family and I leave a 10/10 review

    It is so convenient to have a Travel Agent that stays in contact with you, either in person at your home or on the phone. We have found Karryn to always be contactable if we have a query, nothing seems too difficult for her. There is nothing more reinsuring than an Agent that knows your likes and dislikes and is able to suggest the best bookings. Karryn has travelled extensively and we have found her knowledge in regard to cruising excellent. We have used Karryn as our Travel Agent for many trips and will continue to do so.  We highly recommend Karryn as a Travel Manager.

    I have found a little gem in Karryn. She has organised three trips for me so far, all went without a hitch.  I couldn't recommend her highly enough for the dedication she puts into making your holiday one to remember and she loves the feedback when you return home.  Thank you so much Karryn, I will be IN TOUCH FOR MY NEXT Robyn Thompson, Tea Gardens NSW
