Embracing Peach Fuzz: Elevating Guest Accommodations with Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year

When setting the mood and style of guest accommodations, the choice of colour plays a pivotal role. Recognising this, Pantone's Colour of the Year announcement is always eagerly anticipated by designers and hospitality professionals alike. For 2024, the colour making waves is Peach Fuzz, a hue that promises to add a touch of warmth and modern elegance to any space. But what makes this colour so unique, and more importantly, how can it be integrated effectively into your guest accommodation?

Integrating Peach Fuzz into Your Guest Accommodation

This soft, velvety hue is both calming and cheerful, perfect for creating an environment that welcomes guests with open arms. The versatility of Peach Fuzz lies in its ability to blend seamlessly into various aspects of a guest room, from textiles to decor and accessories.

 

One of the simplest ways to introduce Peach Fuzz is through textiles. Consider plush Peach Fuzz-coloured cushions on a neutral sofa or elegant drapes that warmly glow the room. The colour can also make a striking impact as an accent wall, offering a sophisticated and soothing backdrop. For those willing to experiment, Peach Fuzz can be the colour of choice for statement furniture pieces, adding a pop of colour that instantly draws the eye.

 

But it's not just about the significant changes. Small accessories like vases, lampshades, or artwork in Peach Fuzz can significantly uplift the room's ambience. These subtle touches allow guests to appreciate the colour without overwhelming the space.

 

Our Natural Earth bathroom amenities range, known for its earthy tones, is a perfect companion for Peach Fuzz. This range includes soaps, shampoos, and lotions that offer quality, luxury, and aesthetically complement the Peach Fuzz theme.

 

Imagine walking into a bathroom where soft Peach Fuzz towels hang next to natural wood and stone elements. The earthy tones of the Natural Earth products sit in harmony with the warm Peach Fuzz accents, creating a space that feels both organic and indulgent. This thoughtful integration of colour and product can elevate the guest experience to new heights. Perhaps you’ve paired it with The Aromatherapy Co Therapy Range, another brilliant bathroom amenities range that truly uplifts the Peach Fuzz tones in any space.

 

Peach Fuzz also offers versatility in design. Whether a modern, minimalist bathroom or a more classic, luxurious one, Peach Fuzz accents can adapt to and elevate the existing decor. The colour can be introduced through towels, bathmats, or even smaller decorative elements, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the bathroom space.

The Impact of Peach Fuzz on Guest Experience

Colour psychology tells us that colours profoundly impact our moods and feelings. With its gentle yet optimistic vibe, Peach Fuzz is likely to evoke feelings of comfort and happiness in guests. It's a colour that speaks of tenderness, community, and collaboration – essential elements in creating a welcoming atmosphere.

 

Incorporating Peach Fuzz into guest accommodations can help establish a connection with guests, making them feel cared for and valued. These subtle psychological cues can turn a pleasant stay into a memorable experience, encouraging guests to return.

 

Imagine a boutique hotel where each room features Peach Fuzz in unique ways – from soft furnishings to wall art. Or a cozy Airbnb where Peach Fuzz throw blankets and cushions invite guests to relax and unwind.

 

For hotels and Airbnbs looking to stand out and offer something unique to their guests, embracing Peach Fuzz could be the perfect step forward. It's a chance to show that they are in tune with the latest trends while providing a space that speaks of comfort and style.


The Benefits of Using Hand Pump and Bulk Refills for Your Guest Accommodation: A Sustainable Choice

Hotels and BNBs play a significant role in the hospitality industry and have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment. One effective way to promote sustainability is by choosing hand pump soaps and refills instead of single-use plastic bottles. This eco-friendly choice can enhance both the guest experience and the hotel's commitment to sustainability.

At National Hotel Supplies, we have several luxurious hand pump and bulk refill options from your favourite collections, including Ideology and Natural Earth. Display your hand pumps with our specifically-made wall brackets, to avoid guests taking them home.

Here’s why we love the option of hand pumps and bulk refills:

 Natural Earth Hand Pumps

Reduction in Plastic Waste

Opting for hand pump soaps and refills significantly reduces the plastic waste a hotel generates. Single-use plastic bottles contribute to the growing global plastic pollution problem, whereas refillable dispensers help minimise the consumption of new plastic materials. By providing hand pumps and refill options, hotels can actively contribute to reducing plastic waste and demonstrate their dedication to environmental responsibility. Although many single-use plastic bottles are recyclable, it’s not uncommon for them to end up in landfill.

 

Cost-Effectiveness

Using hand pump soaps and refills can be a cost-effective solution for hotels in the long run. While the initial investment for refillable dispensers may be higher, the overall expense is significantly lower than continually purchasing single-use plastic bottles. Refillable dispensers can be quickly replenished with bulk products, reducing packaging costs and less frequent restocking requirements. Hotels can achieve cost savings by choosing this option while reducing their environmental footprint.

 

Convenience for Guests

Hand pump soaps and refills provide convenience for guests during their stay. Refillable dispensers eliminate the need for guests to struggle with opening individual plastic bottles and disposing of them after use. With hand pumps, guests can conveniently access the desired amount of soap without hassle. Additionally, refillable dispensers can be conveniently placed in showers, sinks, and other relevant areas, ensuring easy access for guests throughout their stay.

 

Improved Guest Experience

By offering hand pump soaps and refills, hotels can enhance the overall guest experience. Refillable dispensers provide high-quality products comparable or superior to those found in single-use plastic bottles. At National Hotel Supplies, many of our popular collections can be purchased as a hand pump option. Guests can enjoy the same level of cleanliness and luxury while appreciating the hotel's commitment to sustainable practices. Moreover, the availability of eco-friendly amenities may positively influence guest satisfaction and loyalty, as environmentally conscious travellers increasingly seek establishments that align with their values.

 

Environmental Responsibility and Reputation

Choosing hand pump soaps and refills reflects a hotel's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices. Embracing such initiatives demonstrates that the hotel is aware of its ecological impact and actively takes steps to minimise it. By showcasing these efforts, hotels can improve their reputation and attract environmentally conscious guests who prioritise sustainable travel options. A strong sustainability image can differentiate a hotel from competitors and contribute to long-term success.

 

When Hand Pumps Are Not an Option

It is essential to acknowledge guest expectations and their influence on the choice of amenities. Some accommodation providers have reported that guests perceive bulk dispensers as indicating cost-cutting measures rather than conveying a sense of luxury. However, it is worth noting that guest perceptions can evolve as sustainability becomes increasingly important. By clearly communicating your commitment to eco-friendly practices and providing high-quality products, you can educate guests and potentially shift their perceptions over time.

When a hotel chooses single-use plastic bottles (all of ours are fully recyclable), we encourage using The Goodie Bag. This recyclable paper bag allows guests to collect their leftover amenities and take them home. By encouraging guests to use their leftover products and recycle the packaging, B&Bs actively promote waste reduction and responsible disposal.

 

The decision to switch to hand pump soaps and refills instead of single-use plastic bottles brings multiple benefits to hotels. It reduces plastic waste, provides cost savings, enhances guest convenience and experience, and demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility. By embracing sustainable practices, hotels can position themselves as leaders in the industry and attract eco-conscious guests who value their dedication to minimising environmental impact. This eco-friendly choice contributes to a greener future and showcases the hotel's proactive role in creating a more sustainable and responsible hospitality industry.

Styling Your BNB with Viva Magenta: The Pantone Colour of the Year 2023

Viva Magenta, chosen by Pantone® as the Colour of the Year for 2023, is a bright and exciting hue that can be used to bring life and joy into any living space.  With its warm and vibrant undertones, this magenta-red colour can be used in myriad ways to create stylish and inviting interiors.  Whether you're looking to make a bold statement, or add subtle pops of colour here and there, Viva Magenta certainly makes a bold statement. 

Color of the Year 2023

Bold Styling Ideas for BNBs

If you’re really looking make a bold move, paint an entire wall or two in this vivacious hue. Choose a matte finish for a modern look.  To keep your room from becoming too overwhelmed with colour, pair Viva Magenta with neutral tones like white, beige or grey.  You can even add darker accents such as navy or black for an interesting contrast.  If painting walls in Viva Magenta isn’t quite your thing, why not use it sparingly instead?  Try incorporating splashes of this beautiful shade throughout your home using vibrant cushions that will transform luxurious white linen, rugs and artwork, to give definition to space without it taking over.

If you want something more daring, yet timeless, try pairing Viva Magenta with jewel tones such as, emerald green or sapphire blue to create sophisticated yet eye-catching interiors.  This combination works especially well for formal living area – think leather Chesterfield sofas, accented by lush velvet cushions in Viva Magenta, then paired with deep green accessories like lamps and art frames - creating a luxurious but relaxed atmosphere.

Alternatively, choose furniture upholstered in this lively shade to make everything ignite with vibrancy!  Velour velvet armchairs, coupled with velvet couches in contrasting shades of burnt orange, can be juxtaposed against marble topped coffee tables, making furniture stand out against a muted background – perfect for bringing attention without overpowering the room.  Your BNB won’t be forgotten in a hurry when you’re using this majestic shade as a feature!

Viva Magenta works especially well when combined with gold hues too – think gold-rimmed terracotta pots paired with lush velvet ottomans upholstered in this gorgeous hue.  Adding drama while still retaining balance throughout the decor scheme.  A golden mirror hung above a console table, adorned with delicate trinkets, will help bounce light around the space, making it feel more open and spacious - perfect for achieving that boutique hotel vibe!

Creative Ways to Style with Viva Magenta

Creating interior schemes that incorporate Viva Magenta doesn't have to just stop at furnishings.  Introducing this colour into kitchen spaces, via tiles or cupboards doors, helps inject colour into functional rooms too – making them feel more cheerful and creative all year round.  Why not go one step further and incorporate this tone within kitchens appliances too?  Will we see toasters and kettles in Viva Magenta this year? Time will tell!

From walls down to small details, like pairing this bold look with monochrome bathroom amenities, like South Pacific Soap Co or Ideology  – there are endless possibilities when styling a BNB interior using Viva Magenta as inspiration!  Make sure you take your time playing around with different textures, patterns  and colour combinations, until finding one that really speaks to you - then bask in contentment knowing you created something truly unique.


Announcing Pantone's ‘Two’ Colours of 2021

We know, we’re a little late, but we’re here to talk about PANTONE’s 2021 ‘Colours’ of the Year. Pantone Colour of the Year 2021

Yes, that’s right, after a hectic and very ‘out of the ordinary’ 2020, the colour experts at PANTONE decided to award us with not just one, but TWO colours! And we think we deserve it!

Introducing PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. These two separate colours come together to represent 2021.

What does PANTONE have to say about Ultimate Gray and Illuminating?

Pantone describes the Colours of the Year as ‘Practical and rock solid, but at the same time, warming and optimistic. The union of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of colour that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly’.

How to bring Ultimate Gray and Illuminating into your décor

Whether you want to be subtle, or bold, you’ll lift the mood of your space by bringing this year’s colours into your décor.

You can incorporate Ultimate Gray + Illuminating into your living area through a stunning piece of artwork, a vase, stack of coffee table books or even a lamp shade.

We think Ultimate Gray is super versatile, blending well with neutral palettes and cooling down bright tones. Surprisingly, as bright as Illuminating appears to be on its first impression, this bright pop of yellow works well with a variety of shades and colour palettes.

To help you incorporate Ultimate Gray + Illuminating into your décor, the team at PANTONE have released 5 eye-catching colour palettes.

  •  Aviary – Vibrant, rich and eye-catching
  •  Enlightenment – Hypnotic and imaginative
  •  Intrigue – A little bit quirky and full-bodied
  •  Orbital – Metallic and galactical
  •  Sun and shadow – Earthy and grounding

PANTONE’s Colours of the Year in your bathroom

For a subtle touch, the Pacifics Pina Colada range of bathroom amenities is a soft way to incorporate the colours of the Aviary palette into your décor, while bringing in the fresh ambience of the pacific.

Add in a fluffy bathmat in Illuminating, or a plant pot in Ultimate Gray and you have a match made in heaven against pristine white tiles.

In the bedroom

If you love the shimmering metallics of the Orbital palette, our silver blankets (available in large single/queen and king) are the perfect addition to transition your bedrooms through from autumn into winter.

If you’d prefer a splash of colour and want to bring this year’s PANTONE Illuminating into your sleeping spaceOur Canary Bed Runners and Cushions will bring a pop of brightness to your bed and breathe new life into a neutral colour palette.

How to create the perfect compendium

Communication is key when it comes to servicing guests, so it’s no surprise that compendiums, or in-room directories, are still common in the holiday accommodation industry.

While they may have evolved over the years, with many properties now featuring digital compendiums streamed via their TVs, they still act as an important tool for communicating essential information about your property. It’s also a great way to promote any additional services you offer, or what’s happening in the local area.

What should you include in your compendium? Here is a list of essential items to include in your compendium/in-room directory.

Office hours/Important telephone numbers

Whether you manage a hotel, motel, resort, Airbnb or holiday home, it’s important for your guests to know when management is available and who to contact in and out of business hours.

For Airbnbs and holiday homes it’s important to list contact numbers in case of emergencies. Numbers for emergency plumbers, electricians, locksmiths etc. are vital.

Essential services

It’s helpful to include location/contact details for local services including doctors/hospitals/supermarkets/banks etc..
Arrivals/Departures

List all check-out times and information about late checkout, key drop-off and where guests can store luggage before they depart.

Noise regulations

In the interest of other guests and neighbouring properties, it’s recommended to communicate any noise regulations you have at your property.

Parking

List parking options/pricing and information about valet parking if it’s available to guests and their visitors.

Wi-Fi/Internet/Smart home devices

Include instructions/passwords to connect to the Internet. These days many properties have smart home systems controlling media etc, therefore it’s important to include instructions on how to use these devices.

Pay TV/Streaming services

Tell guests how to connect to pay tv or other streaming services.

Restaurant/Room service

If your property has a restaurant on premises the compendium is a great place to promote specials and communicate opening hours. Always include a copy of the menu.

If it’s an option, have a room service menu available to your guests.

Local restaurants

If you’re property doesn’t have a restaurant on premises, ensure you include dining recommendations including locations and contact numbers. It’s also handy to include takeaway menus for a few of the most popular restaurants in the area.

Mini bar

Do you have a mini bar? Always have a mini bar price list available to your guests.

On-site facilities

Let guests know about the facilities available at your property and include rules/opening hours and information about pools, spas, gyms, BBQs etc.

Local attractions/What’s on

Always include a list of local attractions in your compendium. A lot of guests love to visit markets, art galleries and get out and about in the community. A list of ‘what’s on’ will tell them what’s happening in the local area during their stay.

In this section you could also list public transport options for those guests who prefer to leave their car at home.

Babysitting/Hire services

Even if you don’t have babysitting staff on-site it’s helpful to have a list of babysitters and their contact numbers. Also list any hire companies who can rent out baby equipment such as prams, highchairs etc.

Additional spaces – meeting rooms

If you have a larger property you can let business travellers know about your meeting rooms, including the cost and how to book.

Wake up calls

Let guests know how they can organise a wake-up call if it’s available.

Housekeeping

Explain housekeeping procedures and how guests can organise additional cleaning. You can also direct guests to where they can get laundry done, whether it’s on or off-site.

Smoking/Non-smoking rooms

List smoking regulations for your property.

Evacuation procedures/Emergency exits

In your compendium you can document evacuation procedures and inform guests where to meet in an emergency. Also point out where the emergency exits are located throughout your property.

Always personalise your compendium to your property and include any additional information you’d like to communicate to your guests. If you need a compendium for your property, check out our Luxury Leather PU Compendium available online via the National Hotel Supplies website.


Give back to the bush this Christmas

Christmas is a time for giving, so this year let’s give back to those who need it the most with the help of two amazing initiatives, #buyfromthebush and Go Country for Christmas.

Both these organisations are working hard to bring focus upon small rural businesses and help them get through one of the toughest periods of drought in Australian history.

Many families living in rural communities are struggling to make ends meet, battling to survive in this extreme weather. That’s where #buyfromthebush and www.gocountryforchristmas.com.au step in!

These two initiatives have created an online space where bush businesses can sell their products and reach thousands of people across the country.

When you buy from the bush you’ll not only bring home a beautiful, unique handcrafted gift, you’re giving these struggling rural businesses a much-needed boost during incredibly hard times.

And the news is spreading! #buyfromthebush has already gained a massive following online, their Instagram account has a staggering 110k followers, and growing!


The @buyfromthebush Instagram account showcases a stunning range of gifts including products that would look great inside your Airbnb, luxury holiday home, resort or hotel/motel.

There’s a gorgeous collection of products available including beautiful handcrafted floor rugs, Indigenous artwork, Australian themed corporate gifts, hampers, handmade wooden toys and much more!

Go Country for Christmas is a directory of businesses based in the bush. On their website www.gocountryforchristmas.com.au you can search through a wide range of gifts, everything from wine and food, to jewellery, gifts for babies and children and even experiences and professional services.

Honestly, the quality of products coming out of our rural communities is mind-blowing, and the team at National Hotel Supplies is looking forward to supporting these talented creatives to help them get back on their feet ASAP.

This year we encourage everyone to buy just ONE present from the bush and help change the lives of families living in drought-stricken areas of Australia.

Spring cleaning tips – how to achieve the ultimate clean

We all know spring is the time to freshen up your property, but how do you achieve the ultimate clean? Whether you have housekeeping staff, cleaners, or look after the property yourself, it’s handy to know the shortcuts and tricks professionals use to get their rooms squeaky clean.

Plan your clean

When it comes to carrying out a professional clean it’s important to start with a plan. Every inch of your room needs to be spick and span and having a plan will ensure you don’t miss a thing. Some housekeeping staff start by stripping the bed, others head straight for the bathroom. If it helps, create a checklist so you don’t risk cleaning an area twice!

Embrace natural light

Open the windows and doors. Not only will this help eliminate any nasty odours, it will shed natural light on the interior of the room allowing you to clean more thoroughly. It’s also a good way to air out the room if you’re cleaning with chemicals.

Chemical-free cleaning

Would you like to take an environmentally friendly approach to cleaning? Chemical-free cleaning products are a great alternative for small boutique hotels, luxury holiday homes, Airbnbs and other eco-friendly holiday accommodation services. Thankfully there are a variety of chemical free options available including the Aqua-base antibacterial Barkley Basics Surface Spray that we stock here at National Hotel Supplies. Or why not save money and make your own chemical-free cleaning products!

Microfibre cloths for the win

Many professional cleaners recommend microfibre cloths for dusting. These cloths hold onto the dust and are soft enough to use on any surface. To get the most mileage out of your microfibre cloth, try folding it in half, and half again and again, and only use one part of the cloth at a time!

It’s all in the details

If you’re going to do a job, do it properly! Always have a small brush, for instance a toothbrush, on-hand to get into all those nooks and crannies. A toothbrush is great to clean areas around taps, in the shower or in hard to reach places in the kitchen.

Don’t forget the curtains

Curtains can be great dust collectors so don’t forget to give them a little TLC. Vacuuming is a great way to remove dust but giving them a good old-fashioned wallop with a rolled-up handtowel will also do the trick!

Deep clean

Is it time for a deep clean? Get stuck into those parts of your room that are overlooked including the air-conditioning unit, the carpet, tiles and grout, mattress or the upholstery of your furniture. See our blog post for extra deep cleaning tips!

Freshen up the bedding

There’s no point putting that tired old bed linen back on the bed, after all it’s one of the first things your guests will look at when they enter the bedroom! If your bedding is ready for a freshen up we’ve got Standard Sheet Bed Bundles ready to go.

Finishing touches

A beautiful range of toiletries, like our Ideology range, can put the finishing touches on any room. For bathroom products that will last longer, you can’t go past our Natural Earth hand pumps to spruce up your bathroom décor.

We also stock a great range of guest amenities, commercial bed linen and towels, perishables and other hotel supplies. See our range at www.nationalhotelsupplies.com.au or email us at info@nationalhotelsupplies.com.au


Save time and never run out of stock again

Online shopping. Uber Eats. House cleaners. These days everything is designed to save us time and effort. And thank goodness, because we all lead such busy lives, especially when we’re balancing homelife and managing a business.

Luckily, here at National Hotel Supplies we’ve come up with a way you can save time when ordering your guest amenities and hotel supplies, and at the same time ensure you place the right order and never get caught short again.

How do you place a reoccurring order?

It’s simple! Whether you manage a hotel, motel, resort, holiday home or an Airbnb, we can set up reoccurring orders that eliminate the need for you to remember and place your monthly order. We do it automatically for you!

We find that most businesses order ‘basically’ the same products every month, so we thought why not lock it in and ensure you never run out of stock again!

At the end, or beginning of each month, we’ll send you an order for you to approve and pay, and as simple as that, your order will be filled and sent out.

What happens if you want to make a change?

No problem. With a reoccurring order you can still amend, add, delete or change items.

Save time and buy in bulk

Buying your guest amenities in bulk is another way you can save time and ensure you don’t run out of stock. It will also save you money!

Buying your hotel supplies in bulk is a more time efficient way to order. Forget about those last-minute trips down to your local supermarket to restock. You’ll have stock on hand when you need it.

Save money

Buying in bulk immediately saves you 5% on the products you order. If you spend $500 or more you access our special pricing, saving you up to 15% on standard minimum order pricing and an additional 5% off perishables and in-room detergents. You’ll also receive a $20 loyalty discount each time you place an order! And don’t forget. If your order is over $1000 your shipping is free!

To find out how to set up a reoccurring order, or for more information on our bulk discounts, email info@nationalhotelsupplies.com.au


Commercial v retail linen - there's a difference!

Did you know there is a difference between commercial and retail linen?

It’s a common misconception that there isn’t much difference between retail and commercial linen, however, take a closer look and you’ll soon see there are some major disparities. Commercial bed linen is designed specifically for the hospitality industry and is very different from your standard, run of the mill retail bed linen.

What’s the difference?

Commercial sheets will not feel the same as retail sheets. You’ll see right away that commercial linen is crisper, heavier and thicker. This is because the thread/weave is thicker, allowing it to withstand heavier usage and washing.

The major difference between retail and commercial linen is that commercial linen is made specifically for durability. Commercial linen must withstand frequent use and regular washing and needs to endure years of use.

The fabric

In terms of the actual fabric, commercial hotel linen is normally a mix of 50% polyester and 50% cotton, with a ‘percale’ finish. The polyester increases the fabric’s durability and allows it to withstand multiple washes every week, while the cotton gives a softer, smoother finish.

Aren’t cotton sheets better?

Sheets containing a higher cotton content will not stand up to the kind of use associated with hotel and holiday accommodation, and they will fall apart, warp or shrink with such frequent laundering. They also need to be commercially laundered and pressed as cotton creases easily. Adding polyester to the mix reduces the need to for pressing if laundered correctly – click here for more information on how to care for your linen and towelling.

How important is thread count?

Contrary to what some people believe, the higher the thread count does not equate to better quality. By twisting together multiple threads, the thread count can be manipulated and increased without improving the actual quality. Similarly, you can have a lower thread count, but thicker threads, improving the quality of the sheets, yet sustaining a lower thread count. It doesn’t necessarily mean the linen will be more luxurious.

The fibre, size and how it is finished all contribute to the quality of the sheet. Check out our blog post for more information on thread count here.

What should you look for in commercial bed linen?

There’s more to hotel bed linen than thread count, you should look at the weight of the sheets. The weight of a good commercial sheet should be between 160 – 180 grams per square meter or gsm. This will ensure it handles frequent washing and maintains its shape wash after wash.

All the commercial bed linen we stock at National Hotel Supplies is designed especially for the hospitality industry, ensuring it is durable and endures years of washing. A high turnover hotel can expect their linen to last at least 4-5 years before starting to see any wear and tear.

If you have any more questions about commercial bed linen email info@nationalhotelsupplies.com.au, we’d love to help!


How to create a family friendly Easter getaway


Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail…

It’s that time again! Easter is nearly upon us and soon guests will be flocking to their favourite destinations to celebrate the break with all their family and friends.

After a hectic start to the year guests will be longing for some much-needed R and R, and it’s the perfect opportunity to show off your property.

But how do you think outside the box and go that extra mile this Easter? Here are some ideas!

A gift on arrival

Add an Easter theme to your welcome gift and surprise your guests when they arrive at your property. A nice bottle of wine, cookies, snacks and of course lots of Easter eggs!

Activities for the kids

If you know you have children staying at your property this Easter why not put together some fun activities to keep them busy over the break.

Here are some ideas:

  • Everything your guests need to organise an Easter egg hunt
  • Easter themed art and craft
  • A note from the Easter bunny
  • Board games
  • Easter themed movies or storybooks.

If you have a luxury home or Airbnb don’t forget the bikes, garden games and pool toys (for those with pools).

Keep their tummies happy

Let’s face it, kids are always hungry so it’s great to have something on-hand to snack on. At National Hotel Supplies we stock a variety of yummy nuts, and because we know kids love cereal, a great range of Aussie favourites in 35g sachets including Corn Flakes, Weetbix and Coco Pops.

A local directory

Guests love getting out and about while they’re on holiday and a local directory will help them easily find local attractions and restaurants. If you know you have kids staying don’t forget to make it child-friendly and include restaurants that open early and have special offers for families with children.

If you don’t offer babysitting services leave a list of local babysitters too, this way parents can enjoy a little downtime without the kids.

Luxury guest amenities

For something extra special this Easter break indulge your guests and stock up on some gorgeous, luxury guest amenities like our Pacifics Pina Colada Collection or The Therapy Range.
