Bed & Breakfast Collection 2011 Trade Directory
Rural Tourism operates the Bed & Breakfast Collection which offers your clients three specific levels of accommodation – Standard, Superior and Deluxe.

The Standard and Superior categories have fixed rates which allow these properties to be sold on a pre booked or on an open dated pass basis. We highly recommend pre booking all accommodation especially during the months of October – April. The Deluxe category, with individual rates, must be pre booked.
