"Bed & Breakfast in the traditional sense refers to privately owned premises that offer affordable, personal accommodation inclusive of breakfast. The focus is placed on the personal interaction and assistance the host provides to the guest. This is the true value of Bed & Breakfast accommodation, not just the bricks and mortar" - Quote from "Getting into Bed & Breakfast in New Zealand" by Stewart White & Bill Hastie.

"Tips- Don’t Miss the Best!
Don’t be like the majority of visitors, who go only as far as the Bay of Islands and think they’ve seen it all. Some of the best beaches, natural landscapes, and tranquil retreats lie much further north. It makes sense to travel up an extra day or two, rather than staying in the Bay of Islands and, at best, taking a long 12-hour bus trip to Cape Reinga and back. Go the extra mile: you won’t regret it." - Quote from Frommers New Zealand Guide 2nd edition.
