Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you may have questions about visiting our facilities or using our services. To help you plan your visit to 18 Harbour Vista Road or any of our partner venues, we have compiled a list of the most common inquiries.
General Venue Access
What are the primary requirements for entering the gaming halls?
All visitors must be at least 18 years of age and present a valid, government-issued photo ID. Additionally, guests are expected to adhere to the venue's smart-casual dress code. Entry may be refused if these standards are not met or if a guest appears to be under the influence of substances.
Can I wear sneakers or jeans in the gaming hall?
Smart sneakers and clean, well-fitted jeans are generally acceptable. However, we discourage the use of athletic wear, flip-flops, or torn clothing. For evening dining or special events, we recommend a more formal approach, such as a collared shirt or a cocktail dress, to match the sophisticated atmosphere.
Identification Standards
Which types of ID are accepted for entry?
We accept current passports, New Zealand driver's licenses, and the KiwiAccess card. The identification must be original (no photocopies or digital images) and in good condition. International visitors should ensure their passports are readily available, as these are the most universally recognized forms of ID.
Booking and Reservations
How do I confirm a room or table reservation?
Start by submitting an inquiry through our Booking page. One of our team members will contact you within 24-48 hours to discuss availability and finalize the details. A reservation is only considered confirmed once you have received a formal confirmation email and completed any required deposits.
Launch Booking Inquiry →Can the restaurants accommodate specific dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Our chefs are experienced in catering to a wide range of needs, including vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free diets. We recommend mentioning any allergies or preferences when you make your reservation so the kitchen can prepare accordingly. Most menus also feature clear indicators for common dietary choices.
Gaming Hall Rules
Are there any specific rules I should know before playing table games?
Yes, each game has its own set of rules which are clearly posted at the tables. We also encourage guests to follow general etiquette, such as waiting for a hand to finish before joining a table and avoiding the use of mobile phones during play. Our dealers are always happy to explain the basics to new players.
Hall Etiquette Summary
- Wait for hand completion before entry
