The other "land Down Under" is lots smaller than neighbor Australia yet packs in a boggling amount of beauty and adventure in its two main islands and various other smaller ones -- along with Maori culture and a touch of urban cosmopolitanism. And of course let's not forget Hobbiton!

I totally agree with you Donna. Couples would be our biggest market, followed by 3 adults travelling together. (cheaper to use a 2 bedroom facility than 2 separate suites. Honeymooners of all ages plus groups of 'single' adults all stay with us and 'families' with small children are a very small part of our business but families need somewhere to stay and we have the facilities so why not. Not all places are suitable for children and as you say, some people 'look' for a place that doesn't host families. Our beautiful location has much to offer. There are lots of parents, travelling with an adult child who is studying/working in NZ and they have come to visit 'their child'. Our facilites are all very separate with the family cottage and Bougainvillea suite having their own private entrance and private outdoor patios / balcony.
Ferry Landing Lodge has over 90 positve reviews (80 Excellent, 5/5 stars) on tripadvisor.com with most of the comments coming from couples and only a few from families.
Donna, your comment is valid though but I would be interested to know if anyone staying in a 'child friendly' B&B have found children to 'spoil' their stay.
Re children at B&B's etc. It's great that Pam Wigmore's establishment provides such a great venue for children, and that the hosts are comfortable and able to have them to stay. I do know that a lot of B&B's advertise "not suitable for small children". I suppose many travelers are away on "holiday" and want a break from the norms associated with children (not inferring that all children are the same!!). Many B&B's host honeymooners, or the older person, so that is probably the reason. Some tour itineraries (like our own) are also not [that] suited to small children, and parent's really need to understand that, especially when an operator "suggests" that the tour is not really suited to kids.
