Black Barn Retreats and Covid-19
A Black Barn Retreat is the perfect Baycation location; they're ideal spots to escape to post-lockdown, are brilliant for 2,4,6,8 or 10 of you and where open wide spaces come with the territory.
The majority of our retreats can be booked online if you live in New Zealand, for those that cannot reservation enquiries are just an email away.
Changes in Covid-19 Restrictions
If due to a lockdown, you are unable to travel to Hawke's Bay and need to cancel your booking within 30 days of check-in, you may:
1. Use 100% of your accommodation total on a future booking made within 12 months, or
2. We can refund you, less a $250 cancellation fee.
If you would like to cancel a booking 30 - 90 days out from check-in due to COVID-19, there will be a $250 cancellation fee as per our terms and conditions.
Deposits for bookings 90 days or more from check-in are fully refundable.
Under the Covid-19 Protection Framework, we will be open at all colour levels. However, you cannot cancel your booking within 30 days based on a traffic light colour change.
It must be due to a lockdown in either Hawke's Bay or your region.
If you cannot travel because you have Covid-19 or have been asked by the government to self-isolate due to close contact, you may reschedule your stay within 12 months. You will need to provide documentation from the government as evidence of your requirement to isolate. A new booking must be rescheduled at the same retreat and for the same number of nights originally booked. You are not able to receive a refund.
Black Barn Vineyards reserves the right to cancel a booking if necessary due to ongoing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
