A Stratford motel has been given top marks by Tourism New Zealand.
The Amity Court Motel recently received a Qualmark gold award, making it one of only five motels across New Zealand to achieve gold status. It is the only property in all categories of accommodation to achieve this in Taranaki to date.
Owned by Tourism New Zealand, Qualmark provides a guide to travel experiences through a star-grading system for accommodation providers and an endorsement programme for other tourism businesses.
Qualmark has recently revised and updated its criteria, basing it on sustainable tourism practices.
Amity Court Motel general manager Jason Kowalewski was thrilled to achieve gold status.
