Mandating = Discriminating

What the hell? Having already booked our annual holiday to the North Island to visit family, we planned to spend three days in this hotel in Masterton.

It is the only place we stay every time we visit the area. It is my preferred hotel and not only that, I have shares in the hotel chain too.

Now I'm not so sure. Why the hell is this government so hell bent on discriminating against those who made a choice of their own free will? Why are people so afraid of the unvaccinated when it's clear that the vaccinated can still carry and transmit the virus?

This has gone beyond who has or has not, it has now become a divisional exercise to belittle, discriminate, victimize, segregate and blame a small minority of our population.

THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!! THIS IS NOT US!!!!!

NO “MY VACCINE PASS”= NO STAY

Copthorne Solway Park has been designated a close contact business and as of December 15th, 2021 all hotel guests will require a valid vaccine pass certificate to stay with us.

The reservation holder is responsible to ensure the entire group in the booking will have “my vaccine pass” available on arrival to be scanned or have a printed vaccine pass certificate.

Children under the age of 12 at the time of their visit will not be required to show proof of vaccination.

During your stay - you may be requested by a member of the team to scan your certificate when visiting the restaurant, bar or conference venue.?

Please note, that the Purple Card Certificate issued at the time of vaccination will not be accepted as proof - you will need to have the “My Vaccine Pass”.

NO “MY VACCINE PASS”= NO STAY AND NO VISITING

We acknowledge that not everyone wishes to be vaccinated against Covid-19. However, in order to properly operate, Copthorne Solway Park is bound by NZ Government legislation.?Once the Covid-19 Protection Framework is put in place until such time that the NZ Government lifts the vaccination restrictions for accommodation and hospitality providers, you will not be able to stay or attend an event, like a wedding, at Copthorne Solway Park if you cannot provide proof of vaccination on arrival.?No refunds will be given if there is a failure to comply.
