BAR & BISTRO

We are very excited to confirm we are opening our doors for the first time on June 1st. Here’s what that is going to look like: 

• Only 50 patrons in the venue at any one time, allowing each patron 10 square metres of breathing space: more than double the recommended area.
• All patrons must use the sanitiser provided at the sanitising stations regularly.
• All patrons must sign in and out of the venue to assist with contact tracing, should that become necessary. We will be opening the front doors only, to better manage the number of patrons in the venue.
• All patrons must be seated, and must maintain a social distance of 1.5m between chairs. 
• Any patrons showing signs of respiratory illness (cough, runny nose etc.) will be asked to leave. 
• We will have a dedicated ‘COVID NINJA’ employed at all times to sanitise all surfaces and ensure all patrons are practicing safe social distancing and using the sanitiser provided.
• We have installed sneeze guards in our VIP lounge for your extra protection. 
• Watch this space for updates on our bistro menu and opening hours. At this stage (Friday May 29th) we are intending to open from Monday with a limited menu. 

BOTTLE SHOP

Our shop is still open, and we are still selling our full range of hand-picked wines, spirits and beer. However, we are taking the following extra precautions:

• All customers are being asked to sanitise their hands using the sanitiser provided before entering the shop.
• All bottles and fridge door handles are being wiped down constantly.
• We are not accepting cash in order to avoid any person-to-person contact, so please have your EFTPOS or credit card ready. 
• We are wiping down the EFTPOS terminal after every transaction that requires a PIN. 
• We are sanitising all tills and work surfaces before all shifts, and regularly throughout the day. 
• Staff have been issued masks as an extra precaution, and are sanitising their hands after every transaction.
• We are reducing our opening hours (now 10am to 8pm).
• We will not be giving customers our usual one-on-one service to help you navigate our shop, but will still happily point you in the right direction from a safe distance. And of course our recommendations will still come thick and fast. 

ACCOMMODATION

Our motel is still open for business for anyone that simply must still travel. Our housekeeping staff are using gloves, and sanitising all surfaces thoroughly. We are leaving any occupied rooms vacant for 24 hours before allowing a new guest to check-in to that room, to reduce any chance of infection through surface contact. 

We are struggling through this the best we can, like the rest of you. Please be mindful of the high level of stress and anxiety that we are all feeling in these difficult days, and act with kindness and patience. We thank you for your continued patronage, and for choosing to buy local. 

Stay safe out there, and remember to WASH YOUR HANDS!!
