Somerville, Victoria
Bespoke travel planning for Somerville travellers
Andrew and Cathy plan bespoke holidays, cruises, safaris, and small group tours for Somerville clients, with the buying power of the Envoyage Group behind every booking.
A Peninsula-based travel advisor for Somerville clients
Little Travel House is based in Mount Martha, on the Mornington Peninsula, and we plan travel for clients in Somerville and right across the region. Somerville travellers come to us for the same reason others do: personal advice from two people who own the business, rather than a generic online booking desk. You can meet us in person on the Peninsula or work with us by phone, email, or video, whichever suits you.
We were founded in 2021 by Andrew and Cathy, who saw travel becoming more intimate, with smaller groups, smaller ships, and bespoke arrangements with local guides. As an independent business affiliated with the Envoyage Group, an arm of the Flight Centre Travel Group, we bring small-business attention to detail together with big-business deals, pricing, and security.
Whether you are planning a European river cruise, an African safari, or a quick flight and a few nights away, we build every itinerary around how you like to travel.

Why Somerville travellers choose Little Travel House
Four reasons local clients keep coming back, grounded in how we actually work.
A Peninsula advisor who knows the inland towns
Our office is in Mount Martha, a short drive from Somerville on the inland side of the Peninsula. You deal with a nearby local business that understands rural Peninsula life, not a distant booking desk.
Speak with the owners, every time
Andrew and Cathy own the business, so you talk with the same two people from your first enquiry to your return home. No handoffs, no queues, no anonymous agents.
Small-business care, big-business buying power
As an independent business affiliated with the Envoyage Group, an arm of the Flight Centre Travel Group, you get personal service plus contracted airfares, cruise rates, and supplier deals.
From an inland town to the rest of the world
Somerville clients travel everywhere from European river cruises to African safaris. We plan around your style, dates, and budget, not a one-size-fits-all package off a website.
From Somerville to everywhere
Somerville sits inland on the Mornington Peninsula, a town with a long rural and apple-growing heritage that still shapes its character today. It is a practical, well-connected base for people who live and work away from the coast but still want the Peninsula on their doorstep. We plan the same range of journeys for Somerville clients as we do for travellers anywhere in Australia, from short domestic escapes to complex multi-stop international itineraries.
Because we live and work on the Peninsula too, we understand the rhythm of local life, school holidays, and the way locals like to plan their time away. That local understanding shapes how we build your trip.
