🏠 House Rules

🍳 Cooking, Smoke Detectors & Fire Alarm • Please take care when cooking. The apartment is fitted with sensitive smoke/heat detection, including detection near the kitchen area. • To avoid unnecessary smoke build-up, please use the rangehood/extractor fan, open a window where appropriate, and do not leave cooking unattended. • Please avoid high-smoke cooking methods unless the area is well ventilated. • Do not cover, remove, disable, tamper with, or interfere with any smoke detector, heat detector, fire alarm, sprinkler, call point, extinguisher, or other fire safety equipment. Silencing the fire alarm is possible via the silence button in the lower floor by exit. This must be used appropriately and only when there is a false alarm • Activation of the smoke/heat detector may trigger the building fire alarm and may result in Fire and Emergency New Zealand attending the property. • Where an alarm activation, call-out, reset fee, security attendance fee, building management charge, cleaning cost, repair cost, or other cost is caused by guest actions, omissions, unattended cooking, excessive smoke, misuse of the property, or breach of these House Rules, the guest will be responsible for the resulting cost. • This does not apply where the alarm is caused by a genuine emergency, a property fault, or circumstances outside the guest’s reasonable control.

✅ General Conduct • Do not damage, remove or interfere with anything at the property. No furnishings, linens, electronics, kitchenware, appliances, supplies, keys, access devices, or other property may be removed.
