Accommodation, Travel and Tourism
 |
In the spirit of Manaakitanga (hospitality and generosity) we invite you to come and create a community experience with us in Aotearoa/New Zealand. |
Queenstown is at the foot of the towering Remarkables on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on earth (go on a Google tour and see for yourself).
 |
We promise you will find yourself in a place of awakening. There could be no better place for GANZ to create a dynamic community experience and to engage in dialogue about what matters to us as Gestalt practitioners. |
We invite you to join us in the mountain playground of Queenstown; come and indulge your senses, be inspired and have a real break. This unique conference will be a time for reflection, renewal, reconnection, relaxation, fun, feasting and entertainment.

Air Travel
International travellers may decide to spend some time down under and travel via NZ through to Australia and home, or the other way around. We hope the following is of some assistance in getting around. Australia and New Zealand have direct international flights from all over the world. Once you arrive in this part of the world Trans-Tasman travel (NZ to AUS), or “Jumping the Ditch” as we call it, is usually only a 3-4 hr flight depending on destinations. The following information gives you an idea of passenger airlines in the region:
Trans-Tasman providers Christchurch to or from Australia (AirNZ, JetStar, Pacific Blue - also Emirates from Sydney and Brisbane).
Domestic Flights inside New Zealand (AirNZ, JetStar and Virgin Blue).
During the winter Ski season (July – October) direct flights into Queenstown are available from Australia departing Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Routes from all other Australian capitals are through the three east coast state capital cities. For domestic routes from within New Zealand there are direct flights to Queenstown from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
