About Bed and Breakfast Association New Zealand

Bed & Breakfast Association NEW ZEALAND is New Zealand's national bed and breakfast association working exclusively to support bed and breakfast operators.

Our members offer quality accommodation with charm, character and modern amenities

Properties listed on this site are all members of Bed & Breakfast Association NEW ZEALAND Incorporated. Association bed and breakfasts are located in a variety of lakeside, coastal, rural and urban settings, and combine charm and character with modern amenities for your comfort. Properties are owner operated, ensuring your stay is memorable and enjoyable, and guests are encouraged to provide feedback on their experiences.

Association properties displaying a ‘Quality Assured’ badge are extra-special as they are rigorously assessed every three years.


Hospitality and hosting

Association bed and breakfasts are owner-operated and cater for a maximum of 20 guests at any time. This means all guests benefit from the time and attention that hosts are able to give to ensuring that your stay is memorable and enjoyable.


Providing shared professional expertise

The Association works for its members providing continuing up to date information in relevant areas such as health and safety, insurance, ACC, etc. and enables bed and breakfast hosts to provide a world class service to their guests by the provision of best practice guidelines, business support and training. The Association lobbies Government and Local Bodies on issues ensuring that their policies and regulations are favourable to bed and breakfast owners. We work with other accommodation associations and tourism bodies to ensure that the voice of bed and breakfast owners is heard in the tourism industry.

When you join the Association, you gain the opportunity to:

  • Place a business listing on our website
  • Network with other members in your region (where possible)
  • Attend our biennial Bed & Breakfast Conference


The Association empowers bed and breakfast owners to effectively manage challenges that have the potential to adversely affect the viability of their businesses.

‘Quality Assured’ members of our Association must meet minimum quality standards and their properties are comprehensively assessed at three yearly intervals - giving assurance to travellers that those properties promoting the Association’s ‘Quality Assured’ badge provide a first class quality experience.
