  • The owner or manager lives in the house or on the property. The public areas of the house, such as kitchen and lounge have either limited access for guests, or are shared with the host family to some degree.
  • The business may be run as a secondary occupation.
  • Breakfast is included in the price (generally either continental or full-English). Other meals may be available by arrangement.

Backpacker Hostel

  • A hostel (or backpacker) establishment is aimed at the budget traveller and generally attracts a younger clientele.
