With over two decades of experience in travel, hospitality, and tourism, Melissa Wharerau brings a personal and highly tailored approach to planning luxury holidays. She specialises in cruising, rail journeys, and touring experiences, expertly packaging them with flights, pre and post arrangements, and all the thoughtful touches that make a journey unforgettable.

Whether it’s your first cruise or your fiftieth, Melissa’s goal is always the same: to take the stress out of planning and deliver a seamless, white-glove level of service—no matter the travel style or budget. Her clients describe her as warm, caring, and always going the extra mile to make their trip feel special.

Based on the Hibiscus Coast, Melissa has a deep appreciation for the importance of local connection and community. She’s always up for a no-obligation coffee with fellow Coasties to talk travel dreams and start the journey from inspiration to itinerary.

“For me, the travel industry aligns with so much about my personality – my need to grow, to learn, to explore, to see new things and face new challenges. Most importantly though, to create memories with those we love. Becoming a broker gives me the freedom to do what I love, with the flexibility to shape it my way. With Fuzion behind me, I know I’ve got the right support to make it happen.”

When she’s not crafting dream holidays, you’ll find Melissa out on the water with her family—exploring the coast by boat, paddleboarding, or diving for fresh Kingfish.
