New bed and breakfast guide released

The first edition of the Automobile Association's Bed & Breakfast Guide has been released for 2004.

The AA says the guide has been produced in response to the growth in this section of the accommodation market, and the number of inquiries for hosted accommodation throughout the country.

It features helpful tips for B&B travellers, including booking information, editorial, regional highlights, maps and travelling distances.

A full colour publication, the guide provides information for over 250 inns, farmstays, homestays, countrystays, guest houses, luxury and boutique accommodation throughout New Zealand.

The book is available at AA centres nationwide and costs $3.95 for AA members or $4.95 for non-members. They will also be available at visitor information centres and selected bookshops nationwide.
