Other things to note
________________________________________
++==LOCATION==++
________________________________________
This is one of four flats, so the backyard and garden facilities are shared. The units are located down Childers Road, which can be noisy during peak periods. There is plenty of parking available on the road. We’ve double-glazed the windows, which makes a noticeable difference in sound insulation when you enter the unit, allowing you to see out while maintaining your privacy during the day. If you prefer to avoid the hustle and bustle of Gisborne, please contact us for assistance in finding a more suitable property. _

++==CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS==++
________________________________________
We will send your check-in details via message at 1 PM on the day of arrival. You can also access the detailed guide through the Airbnb app, which includes photos, instructions, and everything you need for a smooth check-in and enjoyable stay.
________________________________________
++==SAME-DAY BOOKINGS & LATE CHECK-IN==++
________________________________________
We gladly accept same-day and last-minute bookings! To ensure a smooth check-in, please make sure you're familiar with how to access the lockbox. You're welcome to arrive at any time after 3bpm, but please be aware that it may be dark if you check in late. While we provide outdoor lighting, it's not always left on, so we recommend bringing a flashlight just in case.
________________________________________
++==EARLY CHECK-IN REQUESTS==++
________________________________________
Check-in is at 3 PM, but we can notify you if your place is ready sooner contact the Waikanae Beach Motel. For guaranteed early access, consider booking the night before, subject to availability. Please note, we need time to prepare the space if a previous guest departs the same day. We appreciate your understanding and will do our best to accommodate your request.
___________________________________
++==LATE CHECK-OUT & LATE CHECK-OUT REQUESTS==++
___________________________________
Guests who have not checked out by 10 AM and/or have not arranged a late check-out will instantly be charged a full night's accommodation. If belongings need to be moved, an additional fee will apply. This is necessary as we require sufficient time to prepare the property for the next guests, and delays place incredible stress on our staff.
Late check-out may be available depending on bookings and housekeeping schedules. Please contact Waikanae Beach Motel before your departure to check availability.
For check-outs after 12 PM this must be arranged and an extra night's fee will apply and must be paid via Airbnb by the night before. If unpaid, housekeeping will be scheduled for the regular 10 AM check-out time to ensure the property is ready for the next guest.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
________________________________________
++==STARTER SUPPLIES==++
________________________________________
All of our properties come with hotel-quality linens and towels, so you only need to bring clothes and any additional supplies once the starter pack runs out. The starter pack includes essentials like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, tea, coffee, sugar, and long-life milk, designed to cover your initial needs.
________________________________________
++==SERVICING & EXTRA CLEANING==++
________________________________________
For an extra charge, we offer mid-stay services such as fresh linens or housekeeping, which many of our contractor guests find useful. If you'd like to arrange this, or if there are any changes in your guest list, please contact us at Waikanae Beach Motel.
________________________________________
++==PORTACOT AND HIGHCHAIR==++
________________________________________
Both are available upon request and can be picked up or dropped off by Waikanae Beach Motel. There is a charge for this service, and we recommend organising it well in advance to ensure availability during your stay.
________________________________________
++==CLEANING FEE – WHAT IS COVERED==++
________________________________________
The cleaning fee covers two-three cleaners who refresh linens and top up supplies. If you stay longer, you'll find our properties are much cheaper per night. For one-night stays, we need to pass on the cost, as we still incur the same level of preparation and cleaning as for longer stays. We appreciate it if you can leave cleaned towels in the washing machine for the cleaners to hang in the sunshine, but it’s not required. Please ensure the property is left tidy. Additional charges may apply for excessive mess, such as food scraps or dirty ovens. Thank you for your understanding!

________________________________________
++==R&V PERIOD==++
________________________________________
We welcome Rhythm and Vines guests but require a bond and adherence to our rules. A minimum stay of 4 days is required for direct reservations. For direct R&V bookings, visit our FB page, "Accommodation in Gisborne."
________________________________________
++==HOLIDAY CLOSURE==++
________________________________________
We are closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, with no check-ins or check-outs available. Consider booking an additional day if staying during these periods.
________________________________________
++==GARDENS & LAWNS==++
________________________________________
We do our best to maintain the gardens and lawns, but during the summer, growth can be tricky, especially with rain. Our wonderful lawnmower man, Tony, may visit during your stay. If you prefer not to have him around, just let him know, and he will understand. Please don't let this affect your rating of us.
