Bookings and Reservations

Making a Booking

Bookings can be made via our website, by phone on +64 3 555 7426, or by email at [email protected]. All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by the hotel. A booking is confirmed only when you receive a written confirmation from us. You must provide accurate personal and payment information when making a reservation.

Special requests, such as room location or dietary requirements, are noted but not guaranteed unless confirmed in writing by the hotel. We will do our best to accommodate reasonable requests, but they do not form part of the booking contract unless expressly agreed.

Payment and Cancellation

Payment terms and cancellation policies vary by rate and room type. Please refer to your booking confirmation for specific details that apply to your reservation. A deposit or full prepayment may be required at the time of booking, depending on the rate selected.

Cancellations must be made within the specified notice period to avoid charges. If you cancel after the required notice period, or fail to arrive for your stay, you may be charged the full amount of the stay. No-shows may be charged the full amount of the booking.

Guest Responsibilities

Guests are expected to behave respectfully and to take reasonable care of hotel property. You are responsible for any damage caused by you or your party during your stay.

  • Smoking is prohibited in all indoor areas of the hotel.
  • Quiet hours are observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
  • Pets are not permitted except for registered service animals.
  • Guests must not interfere with the comfort or safety of other guests.
  • Any damage to rooms, furnishings, or facilities must be reported to reception promptly.

Dining and Experiences

Dining reservations and experience bookings are subject to availability and may have separate terms. Dietary requirements should be communicated in advance so our kitchen can prepare suitable options. We reserve the right to refuse service where necessary for safety or legal reasons.

Experiences may be weather-dependent and subject to change. If an experience is cancelled or significantly altered, we will notify you as soon as possible and offer an alternative or refund where appropriate.

Poker Lounge

The poker lounge is an elegant social space for offline card play only. No real-money gambling, betting, or wagering is permitted. Games are played with physical cards and symbolic chips only.

  • No online poker, deposits, withdrawals, or player accounts are involved.
  • Participation is limited to guests aged 18 and over.
  • The lounge operates during designated hours and may be reserved for private events.
  • Staff may ask any guest to leave the lounge if behaviour is disruptive or inconsistent with the social nature of the space.

Liability and Disclaimers

Magnolia Stay is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your stay, except as required by New Zealand law. We are not responsible for loss or damage to personal belongings unless caused by our negligence.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted website availability. Our total liability is limited to the amount paid for the relevant service. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you may have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other applicable legislation.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
