Welcome to KoruStay Coastal Retreat! This is our cherished home away from home, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. We’ve designed it to be a sanctuary for relaxation and enjoyment. To ensure a wonderful experience for you and to maintain harmony in our peaceful community, we ask that you kindly observe the following house rules:
To maintain a peaceful environment for our neighbours and ensure our home is a good fit for all, we have a minimum age requirement. The primary guest who makes the booking must be over the age of 30 and must be staying at the property for the entire reservation period. This policy is strictly enforced.
You’re on holiday, and we want you to have a fantastic time! Listening to music and enjoying the stunning views from the deck is part of the experience. We are, however, in a quiet, family-friendly residential neighbourhood. Please be mindful of our lovely neighbours and keep noise to a respectful level.
We kindly ask that you observe quiet hours between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. While enjoying the deck late into the evening is to be expected (and encouraged!), please bring conversations inside and lower music after 11:00 PM to avoid disturbing those around you.
To maintain the tranquility of the property and neighbourhood, parties, gatherings, or events are strictly prohibited.
Only the guests included in the booking reservation are permitted to stay overnight.
Our outdoor spa is the perfect spot for two adults to unwind while enjoying the views. To ensure it runs perfectly for you, the filter requires a quick rinse before every use. This simple step prevents a safety sensor from switching the system off. Detailed, step-by-step instructions are available for you in the onsite Welcome Book.
CRITICAL SAFETY NOTICE: For the safety of children and to protect the cover from wind damage, the spa cover must be replaced and securely locked with the provided clips whenever it is not in use. This is a non-negotiable safety rule and a legal requirement in New Zealand.
Please note that the garage is not available for guest use and is strictly off-limits. The area is alarmed, and any attempt to access the garage will be considered a security breach and treated as such.
This is a strictly non-smoking/vaping property. Please do not smoke or vape anywhere inside the house.
The property is in a small community with a volunteer fire brigade. Fireworks and outdoor fires are prohibited year-round. Occasionally you will hear sirens alerting the local volunteer fire brigade. A fire blanket and extinguisher are available in the kitchen and the emergency services number is 111.
We understand accidents can happen. Please let us know immediately if anything breaks so we can arrange for a replacement or repair for you and our next guests. Any significant damages will be considered and chargeable under NZ law.
For the safety and security of our guests and the property, we use exterior security cameras. A camera is integrated with the lockbox to monitor the front door and entryway. An additional camera monitors the exterior rear of the property. These cameras record video only and are not actively monitored. To protect your privacy, there are absolutely no cameras inside the home or in any private outdoor spaces like the decks. Tampering with the cameras is strictly prohibited.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Your respect for our home and our neighbours is greatly appreciated!
Please use the heat pump when required. Please note: It will automatically turn on between 9pm and midnight every day. This is to ensure the air quality of the property when it’s vacant. If you don’t want it on during this time, please feel free to switch it off or to a mode you prefer.
