ENTRY REGULATIONS AND ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORITY (ETA)
All visitors from a visa waiver country (this includes countries like the Unites States), all travellers traveling through New Zealand from a transit visa waiver country, as well as all cruise ship passengers (regardless of nationality) and all permanent residents of Australia require an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA). Travellers can request their ETA via the ETA mobile app or the Immigration NZ website (https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/about-visa/nzeta). The app is fast and easy to use and offers greater data accuracy, making it the preferred option. We recommend visitors and transit passengers request their ETA well in advance of travel. Please allow at least 72 hours for processing. Travellers who arrive at their port of departure without an ETA will still be able to request an ETA at this time; however, if the ETA request cannot be processed in time, or the ETA request is declined, the passenger will be denied boarding.
Citizens of other countries should check with their local New Zealand embassy as entry requirements can vary.
While there are generally no compulsory health formalities in New Zealand, you must comply with any mandatory health checks or quarantine requirements applicable at the time of your arrival, and you should take into account any such requirements when advising your planned travel dates
ACCOMMODATION
Bonds or credit card imprints may be required by accommodation suppliers, where they are providing a telephone, mini-bar and/or other facilities. These are usually requested at the time of check-in. All such costs will be your responsibility.
GUEST BEHAVIOUR
We reserve the right in our absolute discretion to terminate your holiday if your behaviour is likely, in our opinion or that of our representatives or suppliers, to cause distress, damage, annoyance or danger to our employees or to any third party or their property.
COMPLAINTS
If you have a complaint during your holiday, you must notify your designated Seasonz Account Manager immediately and they will do their best to resolve the problem. Should it not be possible to resolve your complaint on the spot and you wish to write to us after your holiday, this must be done no later than 28 days after your return. Full details should be provided, and an investigation will then be made. We aim to settle all complaints amicably.
PRIVACY
Seasonz will not disclose any personal information to any other party without your consent, except to relevant suppliers, related entities or advisors of Seasonz or where Seasonz is otherwise required by law to do so. You may access your personal information on written request to Seasonz.
MAPS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND MARKETING MATERIAL
Maps, photographs and all marketing material including brochures, flyers etc. are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas but may not be included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs/descriptions are representative only; actual rooms occupied may vary in décor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.
OUR LIABILITY
We use our best endeavours to select reputable and competent suppliers but will not be liable for any loss, damage or claim arising from acts, defaults or omissions outside of the control of Seasonz, its employees and agents, or for any cause independent of human control. This includes (but is not limited to) the inability to recover deposits or other amounts paid to suppliers who are no longer able to supply contracted goods or services or loss or damage which arises directly or indirectly from any act of God, weather disruptions, dangers incidental to the sea, fire, breakdown in machinery or equipment, acts of Government or other authorities, wars whether declared or not, terrorism, hostilities, civil disturbances, strikes, riots, deaths, pilferage, epidemics, pandemics, quarantines or medical or customs regulations, or other similar circumstances.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Seasonz excludes all liability for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury, and loss or damage to property whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection with the offer or supply of goods and services through Seasonz or any third party, or in connection with the supply of such goods or services, including, without limitation, the inability to recover deposits or other amounts paid to suppliers who are no longer able to supply contracted goods or services. Where Seasonz is liable, its liability will be limited as determined by Seasonz to the re-supply or payment of the cost of re-supplying the relevant goods or services.
We will endeavour to provide the most suitable travel arrangements to meet the particular requirements you make known to us. However, travel is an individual experience, and your preferences and opinions may vary from our own; accordingly, we cannot take responsibility for your personal satisfaction.
We reserve the right to withdraw a tour or any part of it, or alter an itinerary as deemed necessary due to weather, issues of safety, unforeseen circumstances or circumstances outside our control, and will not be liable in any such event. Any additional costs incurred due to airline flight or charter boat delays or cancellations due to weather or inability of suppliers to provide contracted goods or services or circumstances beyond our control will be to your account.
GROUP BOOKINGS
Special conditions may apply for Group Bookings (4 rooms or more), Bookings of the Owner's Cottages and Exclusive Use Bookings. We will provide separate terms and conditions in these instances.
