"English/French owned and operated Chambres d'hôtes in the South of France, located in the small scenic town of Coursan within easy walking distance of restaurants. We're only 7km from Narbonne, 12km from the golden sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, 1hr from Spain and 2.5hrs from Andorra making an ideal base for touring this beautiful, scenic and historic part of the world. Run by motorcyclists for motorcyclists, with some of the best roads in the world!" Recommended by Malcolm Hartill, Southampton, UK : "Bed and Breakfast + self catering holiday apartments. Awesome roads, absolutely stunning scenery, close to Mediterannean, Andorra, Pyrenees, Corbieres, Minervois & Spain etc. Guided Motorcycle Tours also available. Secure garaging. We just spent a week running around the Pyrenees and the host, an avid motorcyclist, knows his roads!"
Great site linking B&B's in Germany. Mostly in German, but you can figure out what you need to know.
"...group of Backpacker Accommodation Providers in New Zealand . Budget Backpacker Hostels ...guide to NZ's Network of Hostels." from an HU user, Mel Wagner, Germany: "THE ONE AND ULTIMATE SOURCE of proper information about Backpackers in New Zealand - it is far better than any other thing and the brochures you get in the hostels (and maybe even by mail) tell you almost EVERYTHING about the place you go to: e.g. size of dorms, disabled facilities, laundry, rating of other travellers, appr. price, distance from town-centre, pool, contact address, map for orientation etc."
"We are three ex-backpackers who have recently opened a new hostel in Lima... We wanted to take the best out of every hostel we've ever been to; make a hostel that's cozy and comfortable, and yet fun. A place with services of the highest level, but one that doesn't over-charge... capture the special atmosphere everybody looks for in a hostel... a spacious kitchen and most importantly a huge locked and safe parking space where you can store your bike and even work on it. Also, because we helped a few bikers in getting parts and fixing bikes, we now pretty much know where everything is in the city in regards to bikes, mechanics and parts shops."
"Affordable Accommodation in Asia and Australasia - we offer hundreds of hotels and guesthouses in many countries. Drop into an Internet Cafe along the way and use our speedy online booking (all major credit cards accepted) and special online discounts!"
"...I own a small hotel on Silver Star Mountain, Vernon, BC and I invite all 2 wheel travelers to stay at my place on their way to and from anywhere. The price will be at least 50% off regular rate, depending on the story they have. Visit my site. This is not to solicit business but to meet friendly travelers on 2 wheels. Regards and thanks again for the site. Niklaus" Thanks Niklaus!
