The health and safety of our guests and employees has always been, and will continue to remain, our top priority.

At the very beginning of the New Zealand COVID-19 pandemic we quickly implemented a COVID-19 Health and Safety Plan, which we continue to monitor and update through each situation to ensure it meets the current guidelines as we move forward with our global fight against the spread of coronavirus.

We are constantly reviewing every aspect of our operations against the latest updates provided by the New Zealand Government and Ministry of Health for COVID-19. We are taking all necessary steps to follow the most up-to-date guidelines and directives from the health authorities and industry regulators.

As we live through constant changes in levels, we wanted to provide you with some information on the measures we have put in place to keep you, our guests, and our employees safe.
