The New Zealand Tourism Board's Where to Stay Guide provides a few useful pointers on disabled-friendly accommodation, with countrywide listings , in which disabled facilities are indicated by a wheelchair symbol.

Current New Zealand law stipulates that any newly built hotel, hostel or motel must have at least one room modified for disabled access and use. Many pre-existing accommodation establishments have also converted rooms to meet these requirements, including most YHA hostels, some motels, campsites and larger hotels. Older buildings, homestays and B&Bs are the least likely to lend themselves to such conversions.
