The members of Golden Chain care about your comfort and are committed to quality assurance. In order for a property to be a member of the Golden Chain group they must undergo an in-depth review by Qualmark, New Zealand's official tourism industry quality assurance agency.
Golden Chain motels are visited each year by independent, professionally-trained assessors who ensure minimum customer requirements are met and who determine a star grade based on a detailed analysis of the establishment.
The Qualmark Self Contained & Serviced system operates on a 1-5 Star scale as follows:
*
