Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre making Stuff news (must read )

Leanne from Mount Wellington

Two-week stay in dirty, bug infested MIQ room ‘unbelievable’
This is owned by us the community that live it the Mt Wellington Licensing Trust area.
I would like the Chief Executive Brent Robinson & the 6 elected board members (elected by us the community every 3 years ) to explain how this has been allowed to happen.

Here a few of the complaints.

1/ Dirt smeared on the telephone.

2/ Weeks of dust build- up in the grates of the fan and the back of the TV

3/ Food was awful most of the meals where inedible and arrived cold.

4/ Spiders in the shower and hole in the wall that ants trailed through into the bathroom.

5/ Room not vacuumed properly

Would you pay $3100.00 for this 2 week experience????

From what I read into this the Hotel is going to rack & ruin and will be worthless to us the community.

The CE & the 6 elected board members need to be held accountable as they are the caretakers to protect our biggest asset.

Thank goodness there is another election next year.

Please give some consideration to stand as a board member to protect our asset as clearly these people are NOT

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
