Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay Accommodation Directory

B&B and Farmstay NSW & ACT Australia

Association Standards for Bed and Breakfast Accommodation:

One of the major issues facing the Australian tourism industry has been the need to "guarantee" quality of the accommodation product, to make sure that the increasing expectations of visitors are met or exceeded.

Quality standards have been a focus of the Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay NSW & ACT Association's "behind the scenes" activity for some time.

The Association, along with the other Australian state and territory B&Bs and Farmstays associations, has its Code of Practice that members must meet before being allowed to display their listing on this website for example.

Within the next twelve months, the Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay NSW & ACT Association will be moving toward an independently assessed Quality Checklist for B&Bs and Farmstays accommodation, thus making a significant step toward establishing that guarantee a minimum level standard for B&B and Farmstay guests throughout New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

All this work is supplemented by the regular seminars, workshops and conferences for Bed and Breakfast and Farmstay hosts, helping them help you, the valued customer.

The best way to find a quality property in our industry is, of course, to search this Accommodation Directory for your holiday choices.

Another way is to watch out for the very distinctive B&B and Farmstay logo that has been adopted in very similar format throughout most states of Australia.

Truly suggestive of "bed & breakfast on the road" the distinctive logo of the Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay Australia is a clear indication that the owners of the property are serious about their business and have a quality standard that will meet or exceed your expectations in accommodation. You can also be assured of a warm welcome and all the help you may want in properly understanding the area in which you are staying from a truly local standpoint.

Wherever you see this logo, you can rest assured that the BBFNSW is playing a role to continually improve your B&B and Farmstay accommodation experiences.

The Association is a self-regulatory association of Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay operators located in all regions throughout the state of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, working to ensure that its sector of the accommodation industry maintains a professional standard.

Finally, the Association is pleased to receive any feedback on any member property you experience. Positive feedback will help us reinforce the message to our members and any "suggestions for improvement" will obviously help us in assisting the individual member to improve. Use the feedback form to share your B&B experiences.
