Our plan to protect guests from Covid-19 also includes our cleaning procedures.

Our safety protocols related to food service, safety and cleaning have been designed in line with New Zealand Government regulations. All cleanliness and hygiene procedures are overseen by our dedicated team. Kitchens, back offices, guest rooms and public spaces are all subject to stringent disinfecting protocols, which include all high-touch surfaces.

We also have protocols in place to respond to New Zealand’s COVID Alert Levels, which include social distancing protocols.
