Local accommodation supplier, Lagoon Pocket B&B has taken out the Queensland award for the Hosted Accommodation in the third annual TakeABreak.com.au “Best Places to Stay” Awards.

The awards recognise properties who have provided outstanding product and exceptional service in their individual categories.  They are selected from over 13,000 properties listed on the site, with shortlisted candidates having guest ratings of 4/5 or better. “The standards were very high again this year and we had a hard time selecting the State winners.” said Penny Parsons, CEO of TakeABreak.com.au.

“We love the fact that these awards are largely based on guest feedback. That makes this very special for us.” said James Arkle, Lagoon Pocket B&B Partner.

18 categories were judged in total with Lagoon Pocket B&B being named the overall State winner for Queensland in the Hosted Accommodation category.

National winners of the 2009 TakeABreak Best Places to Stay Awards will be named in November.

Judges look at relevance to the category, information provided to guests, service provided and personal guest feedback.

Penny Parsons, joint CEO of TakeABreak.com.au explained “With so many accommodation options to choose from, these awards allow us to showcase operators who provide exceptional facilities and services for their guests.”

“Many of our accommodation operators are small and family businesses, so we keep the awards process simple by shortlisting based on feedback from guests who have actually stayed at the property. This encourages all operators to continually focus on what counts – the guest” Young concluded.
