Guest & hosted

To find Qualmark Guest & Hosted properties - use the search tool on the left.

The Guest & Hosted category includes bed & breakfasts, farm and home stays, guest houses, boutique lodges, inns, country hotels and similar establishments providing "home-like" or "character" accommodation. There's normally emphasis on the personal interaction between the guest and the host.

Kitchen/cooking facilities are not usually provided, although some properties may offer self-contained cottages. Depending on the style of the property, bedrooms may include tea and coffee making facilities, TV and a phone. Lounge facilities are usually shared with the hosts and/or other guests. Bathrooms may be ensuite, private or shared. Breakfasts are a feature and are usually part of an all-inclusive tariff. In more remote areas, other meals may be provided on request.

As well as many independent properties from across the country, some of New Zealand's leading accommodation groups make Qualmark grading a requirement for their members, including Heritage & Character Inns and 5 Star Accommodation.
