Heritage & Character New Zealand Portfolio is a not-for-profit marketing cooperative.  It pools the annual financial contributions of its members and and uses these funds for the benefit of the membership.  Because there are no overheads in the form of offices or personnel, virtually all of the funds are invested in marketing and networking activities.

We have a reputable quality brand in the national & international b&b accommodation market. 
 
If you
·         Live in New Zealand and enjoy welcoming people into your home
