What You Need to Know About Staying at Pāteke Lodge

When Can I Check-in/Check-out?

Check-in time is from 3 pm – 8 pm. Please let us know if you’ll be arriving after 8 pm.

Check-out time is 10 am.

Early check-in or late check-out times MAY be available upon request. Please contact us directly to arrange.

We will do our best to accommodate your request but prior/subsequent reservations may limit our ability to do so. We’re happy to mind luggage for early arrivers.

What Happens If I Cancel?

If you are unable to make your reservation please contact your booking agency, or us if booked directly, and we will aim to re-book you so you avoid incurring cancellation fees.

If re-booking is not possible, cancellation fees work like this:

If you have booked one room you can cancel free of charge up to 7 days prior to your check-in date, after which you will incur a charge equal to the cost of your first night’s accommodation.

If you have booked a multi-room special or a package deal you can cancel free of charge up to 14 days prior to your check-in date, after which you will incur a charge equal to the cost of your first night’s accommodation.

After check in, if your plans change and you decide to check out early, you will incur a charge equal to the cost of your next night’s accommodation.

How and When Do I Pay?

A credit card number with a current expiry date is required to confirm all reservations made on our website. Payment is NOT processed when making a reservation, but your card will be assessed to confirm its validity.

All accounts are to be settled on check-out unless paid prior. We can simply charge the credit card you entered on booking or you can use one of the following payment options.

Options for payment:
• Credit card (Mastercard & Visa)
• Debit card (EFTPOS)

Pāteke Lodge is a non-smoking/vaping property.

Can I Bring My Children?

Children over the age of 12 years can be accommodated within the maximum guest and bedding limitations of each room.

Can I Bring My Pet(s)?

As our own pet cat Jack lives on-site, we are unfortunately unable to welcome yours.

What About My Dietary Requirements?

Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free, and keto breakfast options are available. Please contact us directly with your requirements prior to arrival.

All potentially allergenic and/or religiously restricted food types (e.g. nuts, pork, beef, etc.) may be used in the kitchen used to prepare your breakfast. Please take this into account when booking with us.
