Goway Travel offers a signature range of products throughout Australia and New Zealand, designated as “Stays of Distinction”. These are an exclusive group of experiences throughout these two exotic destinations. The properties are personally selected for a wide range of qualities, including spectacular location, an historical landmark, exceptional service, architectural magnificence plus many other considerations.

“We have taken the selected properties and have included them in a package which offers not only the accommodation but also sightseeing on an individual and private basis” commented Meghan Boyd, Product Manager at Goway Travel. “We also recognize a need for total customization for these experiences, and offer personalised independent holidays at no additional cost.”
