It was fantastic to attend our first Bed & Breakfast Association New Zealand conference this week. So great to network with fellow hosts, meet up with our trade partners, listen to excellent speakers and have so many wonderful new accommodations across the country to recommend to our guests and to visit when we’re next travelling. Our cup is full.
