COVID-19 Policy and Procedures
Thank you for choosing Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park for your holiday or relaxation time away from work; it is our aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Keeping Everyone Safe
The health and safety of our guests and employees is always our highest priority. We take great pride in maintaining the best standards of cleanliness and hygiene at our Holiday Park and as the COVID-19 landscape continues to evolve, we continue to take measures to ensure ongoing vigilance around personal hygiene and cleaning standards.
Our team is actively monitoring all reputable sources to stay informed and up to date about COVID-19, including the New Zealand Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation, and in consultation Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) and Holiday Parks NZ.
Our existing cleaning and sanitising procedures have been reviewed to ensure the risk of spreading COVID-19 is mitigated and we have undertaken:
- Increased employee training and awareness of the requirement to maintain the highest level of health and safety in our workplaces at all times.
- Increased frequency of cleaning the public areas (including Reception’s surfaces, door handles, and bathrooms) using high grade multi-surface disinfectant and cleaner.
- Increased availability of antibacterial hand sanitisers and effective masks for employee and guest use.
These measures continue along with regular safety communications, signage and briefings provided through internal communications platforms.
We were recently assessed and approved to carry Qualmark’s COVID Clean Approved logo, reflecting that our business is aware of all COVID-19 requirements as set out by the New Zealand government.
Policy
Under the Protection Framework introduced 2 December 2021 we will be implementing the following:
- Our accommodation (camping, cabins, studios and motels) is not currently mandated under the framework, and we welcome both vaccinated and non-vaccinated guests. As part of our commitment to keeping everyone safe and enjoying their time with us, mask wearing, social distancing and all other recommended precautions are in place and expected to be observed by all of our guests. This does not change between Orange or Red status.
- It is a rule of Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park, over and above any current government recommendations, that anyone using a shared indoor facility must wear a mask. This includes Reception, kitchens, laundries, showers and toilets, and Sky lounges. Please respect your everyone in our Park community by following this rule. Refusal to do so may result in you (and your group) being asked to vacate the Park immediately without a refund.
- All our staff, board members and contractors on site hold vaccine passes.
- Our housekeepers are not permitted to enter any of the roofed accommodation if a guest is inside and not wearing a mask.
- The Deck Café, which is open to our guests as well as the general public, requires proof of vaccination prior to entry as mandated by the government at Red level.
