Harrington 102 -- What's In A Name?

The Harrington 102 was bought as a Backpacker by Mehrab-Khani but the shared kitchen facility was removed, so it was no longer approved as such two years ago.



It is advertised on on his web site as a "small Bed and Breakfast" accommodation. The Council defines a B&B as "a house or flat used by it's permanent residents to provide accommodation for people away from their homes."

The area for use by visitor accommodation is not more than 25%, and it has to have one car space for the owner and one for each accommodation bed. And by Council definition it is not a Hotel because it does not have a liquor license.

The Harrington 102 is therefore wrongly claimed to be a Bed and Breakfast and is also not a Hotel by Council definition.

Mehrab-Khani's web site says it has "modern and immaculate facilities", and Wotif calls it "Ultra Modern" -- it is neither of these. Reading the latest Trip Advisor reviews will clear this up!
