PDF versionDo you have a question you cannot find the answer for?
Maybe you have performed a search for the information you are looking for, had a look at the Resources, FAQs and other sections and just cannot find the answer. (Please keep in mind this website is very new and the Association's data is in the process of being moved, reviewed and updated.)
Please ask here and we shall endeavour to point you in the right direction.
A great resource for those starting out or thinking about entering the Industry is the Association's publication; Operating a Bed & Breakfast and Farmstay Business available for purchase in our online shop.
This is a very specific requirement and probably very difficult to give a specific response because being an unsupervised farmstay there may not be a lot of insurance companies that will cover them. We need to say "This is a very specific question to which the Association is not able to respond in detail. You would need to contact Insurance brokers or Companies and outline your situation. Please refer to the Industry Resources area on this Website at http://www.bbfassociation.com.au/resource-links for a list of Insurance Brokers with whom the Association has developed a working relationship."
Dear Association,
How do I go about getting my B&B listed on your website?
Is it free of charge?
Regards
My wife, daughter and I have to move out of our house next Friday (26th). We wanted to move into a farmstay for a minimum of 28 days, but more likely to be longer than that. We are awaiting a disability house in the ACT. Could you please tell me if there is either a farmstay or self-contained apartment we could use at a reduced rate due to the length of the stay.?
To list your B&B on the Association's Accommodation Directory website you would have to become a member. Listings in the online directory and in the print publication (the egg book) are free to all Full members and are just some of the benefits of belonging.
For more information and to make application, please see the Membership Section of this website.
Hi there,
long stay accommodation would be something that you would have to enquire about with the individual property owner. It is possible some members of the B&B and Farmstay Association of NSW & ACT may be able to help with this sort of interim family accommodation by arrangement. Many have Maximum length of stay published in their terms and conditions and some may be subject to local council rulings in regards to Length of Stay.
An example Local Council ruling for a local Bed and Breakfast establishment might have a clause something like:
LENGTH OF STAY
No guest shall be accommodated for more than 14 days in any 28 day period.
Self Contained Apartments and cottages may be different, so it is always best to deal directly with the owners.
You can look up members who have various accommodation in Canberra, ACT & Surrounds in the Capital Country section of the Association's Accommodation Directory.
Good luck with your quest!
Hi there,
We are looking to start an unsupervised farmstay in Country NSW and we would like to offer a small 4 wheeled vehicle for guests to use, to drive around the marked tracks and enjoy the wilderness.
What are the insurance requirements for such a farmstay with vehicle supplied? Will guests have to sign a waiver? Do you have a prefered insurance company that you would recommend for this industry? Thanks
