Tangihanga/Bereavement

Tangihanga takes precedence over any marae booking. If a Tangihanga occurs, your Contact person will be notified immediately. The marae will endeavour to secure other suitable accommodation at the same rate or less, if more, this will be at your expense. You will be charged for nights spent at Maungatautari marae, and any residual monies will be returned back to you.

Bond, Hireage & Cancellation

• A bond of $400 must be paid to secure your booking. This will be refunded once the marae has been inspected following your stay. Hireage charges, except for Tangihanga, must be paid in full, excluding the bond, at least 5 Days prior to entry to the marae. Your bond is non-refundable should you cancel your booking within 14 days of your booking date.
• In the event that the bond is not paid within the two (2) months, the tentative booking will be removed from the Marae Calendar.
• Your booking payment will be non-refundable should you cancel your booking within 14 days of your booking date.

Agreement & Obligation

Your contact person is obliged to perform or delegate someone to oversee a final check of the Marae.  The (End of Hui) notes in the Marae Users Manual are helpful and should be checked carefully before departure. Should you leave the marae in an unsatisfactory condition, your group will incur a cleaners fee and will be charged to you at $100 per hour. This will be deducted from your bond and if monies owed, you will receive an invoice for services rendered for the labour and material costs required to bring the marae back up to the standard it was prior to your groups arrival. You will also receive a report of what was unsatisfactory about the way your group left the marae and earn a demerit point. Earn more than 5 demerit points will result in the marae no longer accepting any bookings from your group.
