The above categories are based on Qualmark, New Zealand tourism's official mark of quality. All New Zealand accommodation and tourism businesses that carry the Qualmark symbol have been independently assessed as professional and trustworthy, so you can book and buy with confidence.

Backpackers - Shared accommodation in a hostel or lodge, with an emphasis on the active travelling experience, facilitating cultural and social interaction for like-minded guests.

Cooking facilities are not usually provided. Breakfasts are a feature and are usually part of an all-inclusive tariff. Some B&B properties may offer other meals on request.

Holiday Homes - Your 'home away from home' - part of the great Kiwi holiday experience and perfect for the family ski holiday.
