Visiting friends of guests are welcome to be entertained in our restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>The hot tub may be closed for short periods for water treatment. It will periodically be closed for a 24 hour period to drain, refill &amp; reheat and so use of the hot tub cannot be guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Environmental Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kinloch Wilderness Retreat follows <a href=\"https:\/\/kinlochlodge.co.nz\/about-us\/sustainability\/\">sustainable tourism practices<\/a> and actively promotes recycling, energy efficiency, minimisation of waste and consideration of the social impact of our business. We ask our guests to use our recycling facilities and make use of drying lines. We will organise transport arrangements to reduce vehicle movements when possible. Many of our booking conditions exist to minimise our offsite impact as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consideration of Others<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kinloch Wilderness Retreat strives to ensure that all of our guests have a great experience whilst staying at Kinloch. To help achieve this, the following requirements are made of all guests:<\/p>\n<p>General quieten down time of 10pm. We ask guests to turn down the stereo in the communal lounge &amp; the TV room. Guests need to have consideration for other guests, especially young children, trying to sleep in their rooms and not \u2018congregate\u2019 outside of rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Excessive noise or anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated at any time. Where your behaviour is such that other guests have to be recompensed, or leave early, the cost will be passed on to yourself.<\/p>\n<p>The BBQs, tables, chairs, benches, sunshades etc. that we provide on site should be left in position. Guests are not permitted to bring their own furniture or BBQs onto site. There is a public area on the DOC reserve by the lake which is suitable for such purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicles should be parked in the designated areas.<\/p>\n<p>Guests are not to monopolise shared facilities to the exclusion of others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Damage &amp; Cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Accommodation providers recognize that general wear &amp; tear, minor breakages &amp; regular cleaning are part of the business they operate. The cost to remedy loss or damage or cleansing beyond this level will be passed on to the persons responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Such costs will cover our own staff costs, the costs of specialist contractors, repair or replacement costs and any loss of revenue as a result of a room or facility not being available for guest use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kinloch is like a ship and there is ongoing painting and maintenance that will happen throughout the year.\u00a0 We will try and keep disruption to the minimum whilst routine maintenance is carried out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal Possessions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your personal possessions are at all times your own responsibility. This is regardless of whether items are in a locked room, communal area or in your own vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Lost property will be kept at Kinloch Wilderness Retreat for 3 months after which it will be disposed of. We will return property that you leave here to you on receipt of a self addressed prepaid postage pack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We love animals, though have a lot of guests that are allergic. We welcome well behaved furry friends on-site, though only into Wilderness rooms, on the Heritage Lodge terrace and occasionally into EcoScapes, by request. In consideration of all guests and other pets, yours must be under control and always attended to &#8211; please make sure they stay off the furniture.<\/p>\n<p>Kinloch Lodge Ltd reserves the right to charge a guest&#8217;s account for the cost of any excess cleaning and\/or damages. Guests are responsible for all property damages and\/or personal injuries resulting from their pet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group Bookings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additional booking, deposit &amp; cancellation conditions apply for groups:<\/p>\n<p>A group means 12 or more persons.<\/p>\n<p>Groups need to confirm meal requirements in advance with choices made from the group menus published on our website.<\/p>\n<p>A booking for a group may not be confirmed until we have received a 50% non-refundable deposit.
