Accommodation — NZ Commercial Property Cover for Hotels + Motels + Holiday Parks
Hotels, motels, holiday parks, lodges — building + linen + guest-property + BI from room-night interruption.
Accommodation MDBI has BI as the dominant spend — every room-night offline is direct revenue loss. Guest-property cover (limited liability for items in rooms) + linen cover + outdoor improvements (pools, BBQs, playgrounds) are common extensions. EQ-zone exposure plus seasonality drives premium volatility.

Watch out for
- BI gross profit calculation for hotels needs RevPAR-based modelling — Standard Turnover assumption breaks down at high seasonality.
- Guest-property sublimits are typically tiny ($1k-$5k per guest) — high-end lodges with art / luxury items need additional cover.
- Outdoor improvements often have separate sublimits — pools / playgrounds / outdoor entertainment areas may not be in the main sum insured.
