Heritage & Character Inns of New Zealand

Boutique Luxury New Zealand Accommodation

New Zealand has developed its own style of luxury accommodation: The 4 and 5 star boutique lodge, character hotel, country cottage and luxury bed & breakfast. Each property reflects the personalities, style and international experiences of its hosts.

Heritage & Character Inns of New Zealand invites only the best of these accommodation options in New Zealand to join our member-run cooperative. All our members, whether they operate a b&b, a boutique hotel or one of the many stylish lodges around NZ, provide guests with the incomparable experience that Heritage & Character Inns is renowned for.

To be members of Heritage & Character Inns our properties must offer Qualmark rated 4 or 5 star accommodation and an unforgettable experience. Generous hospitality is the hallmark: Fine wines and cuisine, engaging conversation, luxurious amenities and personal assistance planning your daily activities.

If you're seeking NZ accommodation that's as uniquely New Zealand as our famed natural beauty, explore our collection. Whether your dream destination is a luxurious hotel, a relaxing bed and breakfast or a quiet fishing lodge somewhere off the beaten track, we’re sure you’ll find just what you’re looking for.

	Find a North Island Luxury Lodge A bed and breakfast in the sunny sub-tropical north, or perhaps one of Wellington’s stately lodges… take your pick from our fine selection.
	Find a South Island Luxury Lodge A heritage home in Christchurch, a boutique hotel in the Southern Lakes district, or a country bed & breakfast on the remote West Coast… the South Island is full of hidden treasures.

Responsible Tourism

Heritage & Character Inns offers accommodation in some of the most beautiful places in New Zealand and our members are committed to Responsible Tourism and keeping our environment as pristine as possible. That’s why we are going green with Qualmark.

As New Zealand’s official mark of quality for tourism, all businesses that have a Qualmark licence are assessed on their environmental performance. This is part of the New Zealand Tourism’s commitment to looking after New Zealand for the enjoyment of future generations.

Minimum requirements include establishing basic environmental
practices and completing an environmental review of the business.
Those businesses that are performing at the top levels will be engaging
in activities that include:
                               •    Energy    efficiency
                               •    Conservation    initiatives
                               •    Waste    management
                               •    Community    activities
                               •    Water    conservation

For you, recognising top performing Qualmark Green businesses is easy - they list Enviro logos. Look for the following logos on websites, online listings and in other promotional material such as brochures. Where applicable these logos are shown next to the Qualmark star grading or Endorsed logos.
