While the hotel will remain in a seasonal hibernation until September to individual guests, the popular resort-style hotel is ‘Level 2’ ready to receive groups, weddings and meetings with the safety and peace of mind of that these groups are essentially "booking their own bubble" at the hotel where they can enjoy lush, tropical gardens in spacious surrounds.
General Manager, Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands, Katie Buksh says, "The Far North is one of New Zealand’s most desirable holiday spots and even through the winter months, offers the most temperate climate in the country. Add to this a spectacular seascape, secluded bays, and a serenity that is as ample as the space making it an ideal place to refresh, reflect and reconnect.”
With a clear operating plan already in place, The hotel is able to offer the following capacity for meetings and events;
Maximum 50 guests seated in small groups with sufficient social distancing in place
Day conferences up to 50 guests or overnight accommodation with a minimum of 20 rooms for the exclusive use of the resort.
Single server food and beverage attendance guaranteed.
Breakaway dining options for up to 50 guests
Fully compliant contact tracing protocols in place
Self-sufficient / one-stop-shop venue is inclusive of recently upgraded AV equipment all onsite together with onsite planner services.
Space to move around in a subtropical environment with ease and within social distancing protocols.
Enhanced and code-compliant cleaning protocols throughout the hotel with additional guest and staff hygiene protocols in place.
Opportunity to support New Zealand owned and operated!
Buskh is optimistic that the hotel’s location in what has recently been voted in a Newshub Poll as being the second most popular place, behind Queenstown that Kiwis want to visit when levels permit. “This together with a recent Horizon Research Poll that found 33% of Kiwis intend to take a road trip in NZ after lockdown looks good for our region which is within a comfortable drive zone from the Auckland, Waikato and Northland regions.”
