In addition to offering superb conference facilities, Gore and Eastern Southland boast many recreational and cultural activities, events and facilities.

Experience the thrill of an open-cockpit, vintage Tiger Moth flight at the Croydon Aircraft Company or explore over 130 years of illicit whisky making at the Hokonui Moonshiners’ Museum. Gore is the perfect place for a truly unique incentive or theme day for your conference.
Invercargill - NZ's southernmost city
Conferencing in Invercargill is a chance to get away from it all but still be able to enjoy big-city conveniences and services, all delivered with that warm southern touch. Invercargill has first-rate shopping, a focused business district, a good selection of lively cafes/restaurants and late night entertainment.
Art galleries and museums show off local and national talent and while the city centre is modern, its restored historic buildings add to the city’s character. Invercargill is the gateway to Stewart Island, the Catlins, Fiordland, and Queenstown and only an hour's flight south of Christchurch.
Stewart Island - Home to New Zealand icon, the Kiwi
The perfect addition before, during or after a conference, Stewart Island is also the incentive destination for people who want something different. Stewart Island gives visitors a glimpse of a simpler, slower lifestyle. The island is home to Rakiura National Park and to New Zealand's icon, the Kiwi, but those are only two of the many attractions.
It offers superb land and seascapes, wildlife, walking, boating, fishing, diving, kayaking, hunting or just relaxing. Friendly locals are one of the island’s many assets as is the local arts and crafts scene, fresh seafood and the variety of accommodation. Enjoy the ambience of island life and island time.
Te Anau - for an exclusive retreat or a large conference
Fiordland’s stunning scenery invites you to explore, unwind and relax. Located on the shores of Lake Te Anau, this is the gateway to Fiordland National Park. It is a key destination, whether for the small exclusive retreat or a large conference overlooking the lake, or as an incentive staff would talk about forever.
Te Anau is the hub of Fiordland, a World Heritage Area and the walking capital of the world, with tracks such as the Milford, Hollyford, Routeburn, Greenstone or Kepler all within starting distance of the town. Highlights in Fiordland include the world famous cruises of Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound, the Te Anau glowworm caves and lake activities.
