There are so many wonderful Bed and Breakfast places, and/or 'homestays' scattered throughout New Zealand! We have stayed at quite a few of them and have never had a bad experience. We so enjoyed staying with 'real people', as opposed to hotels/resorts/motels. There are lots of sources of information. I would definitely buy, "The New Zealand Bed and Breakfast Book" (http://www.pelicanpub.com/travel/new-zealand-B&B-10.htm), which is quite comprehensive and up-to-date. They have a nice paragraph describing each place and the family that runs it, as well as drawings of the homes. Here are two good Web sites for locating B & Bs:<BR><BR>http://www.the-b-and-b-registry.com/new-zealand/<BR>http://www.bnb.co.nz/<BR><BR>One of the neat things about NZ, is that it is such a small country, that most B&B owners know each other. You can make great use of this 'network' by just asking for a recommendation from your host for the next place you are headed. Lastly, here is the phone number and email address for Pam & Forde Clarke, who run a very nice little place just outside of Wellington. Pam runs a B&B booking service and is extremely knowledgeable about where to stay across the entire country. <BR>(04) 569-4407 <BR>[email protected]

Kim:<BR>We spent 8 days at The Grange House, a B&B in Christchurch. Marie Simpson and son Paul run it. Could not do enough for us. Even let us use her car to go to church on Sunday. Located within 5 minutes of the CBD. Yet in a lovely neighborhood. Their email is [email protected]. Highly recommend them.<BR>John
