Welcome to my business travel webpage – my name is Colette Malherbe, your Personal Business Travel Counsellor based in Durbanville. I grew up in the Cape and remain a loyal Stormers supporter! I deal with clients based all over South Africa – thank you for the opportunity to present my travel services to you.
I have over 23 years experience in both the Corporate & Leisure Travel industries, managing travel arrangements for small independent to large international corporate companies - based in South Africa and abroad. I understand and anticipate the needs of business travellers, and I am used to dealing with the high demands & pressure of last minute travel arrangements that can be associated with business travel, not only locally but internationally as well.
I can arrange anything from an airport transfer to conferencing or international trade fair visits. Travel Counsellors is based in 7 countries, originating in the UK since 1994, and in South Africa from 2007. We are BEE Accredited.
In partnership with Travel Counsellors, I am able to offer the best in airline, car and hotel deals, and I’m happy to negotiate directly with suppliers on your behalf. Running my own business from home gives me the best of both worlds – time with my family; and with the amazing back office support that I receive from Travel Counsellors, I have more time to devote to my clients’ travel arrangements. I am home-based, but not home-bound, and should it be necessary I am always available to meet with you at a convenient time and place.
I believe my personal commitment to service excellence, combined with extensive training on various flight operating systems, airline fares & ticketing procedures, Phenix (Travel Counsellors’ ground breaking dynamic packaging system), my wealth of travel knowledge as well as a passion for what I do, will be of benefit to you and your company.
I look forward to being of service to you.
“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Henry Ford

Colette, BAIE BAIE dankie vir al die harde werk & moeite om ons trip so glad as moontlik te laat verloop het. Jy het regtig die "extra mile" te gaan en soveel ekstra info & moeite gedoen ! Dit was regtig 'n plesier om met jou te werk en ek sal verseker in die toekoms slegs van jou gebruik maak en almal van jou vertel.
Groete, Ninon

Colette is the best travel agent that anyone in our business has ever had dealings with. Her biggest strengths are her work ethic and detailed understanding of how to get the tiniest details right for her customers, and she gets them right first time, every time. She anticipates the needs of her clients, which is a rarity in any industry. I would recommend her to anyone without thinking twice.

I have been dealing with Colette for just over 2 years now. Having been in the fast paced Investment Industry for more than 15 years I can without a doubt say that as a travel consultant Colette is by far the best I have dealt with. Nothing is ever too much. She takes everything in her stride and always goes the extra mile. I would recommend her professional service to anyone.

When all options failed to visit my daughter in Bahrain, I was referred to Colette by a client of hers. Not only did she give expert and invaluable advice but she managed booked us on Egypt Air. She was a true professional all the way, offering a personal touch, which I have never experienced before! The communication was always prompt. She made sure that we had all the relevant travel documents and provided us with the forms that we would need at the airports, etc. She was with us every step of the way. Whenever we completed a check-in or where at security, we got a WhatsApp to make sure that everything had gone well. She got us the seats we wanted and we arrived in Bahrain. We experienced the same on our return journey. Colette even managed the whole check-in and the extra luggage, etc. She was only happy when she got the message that we are safely home. I have travelled all over the world for many years and I have always booked this myself. Colette has brought an end to this. Colette will definitely be my travel agent for my next trip and for the many more that hopefully will follow... I am recommending her to all my friends and family. What an awesome experience dealing with Colette!

I'm extremely happy with the friendly and excellent service that i'm receiving from Colette.. She has not disappointed me ever. She really goes out of her way to assist, even using personal/family time to make a simple flight booking, hopefully this won't happen again. We (the company) really appreciate what she is doing for us. Keep it up Colette.

I've had the pleasure arranging my whole 2-week business trip through Colette. And she was truly amazing - she went the extra mile to make sure all my bookings were 100% and nothing I asked was ever too much. She managed to check me in with all my connecting flights. She helped me with my visas and hotel accommodation.
I've received world class service from Colette and will recommend her to anyone. I will in future use Colette as my travel agent again and again without hesitation.
Thanks Colette - you made travelling such a pleasure.

Colette is a travel consultant second to none. In my 27 years of dealing with various travel agencies in my corporate career, I can honestly say that Colette's genuine warmth and concern for her clients, and her willingness to consistently go the extra mile, put her head and shoulders above the rest.
