Such alterations or amendments become Tariff and Cancellation Policy for the time being and amend and/or supersede our standard policies accordingly.

Per Note 2 above, Standard Deposit and Cancellation requirements are amended as follows:
If questions arise please ask.
The decision to travel and book is yours, accepted by us in good faith, you having taken account responsibly of all factors including your health and safety and that of others before committing yourself and us to the booking.
While we absolutely respect your decision to cancel we believe it is not our responsibility to suffer the financial consequences of your decision.
We must initially consider each cancellation due directly or indirectly to the pandemic in much the same way as any other cancellation: we have only three rooms and cancellations hit us very hard.
Therefore, in accordance with Note 2 above:
Our cancellation policies will be operated and effected as normal, except that
It is a condition of your booking that you undertake not to travel if you or any one of your party exhibits or is exposed to symptoms of or similar to COVID-19. If before you arrive here you or any close contact exhibits or is exposed to COVID-19 symptoms please immediately seek medical assistance and guidance, do not travel; do self-isolate. To maintain our guests' safety and our own please do not proceed to Waiheke Island or to Marino Ridge.
To avoid doubt, you must cancel in these circumstances and you become liable for the standard cancellation fees.
If having read these requirements you remain unsure or if questions arise, please ask.
