Visiting hours
Visitors are an important part of your stay in hospital but please remember that you are in hospital because you are ill and in need of rest and care. To enable staff to provide a quality and professional service to you and other patients, please note the following restrictions regarding visiting times:

NO VISITING BEFORE 10am in all wards due to Doctors Rounds. Visiting ends at 8pm.
Unless special arrangements have been made with the nurse in charge of the ward, visitors are required to leave the hospital at 8.00pm. Please ask your visitors to respect the privacy and needs of other patients, particularly if you are sharing a room. We ask that visiting children be closely supervised by parents or guardians.

Visiting after hours
After 8.00pm your visitors will only be admitted into the hospital with the consent of the nursing staff caring for you. For security reasons after hours visitors will be asked their name, address, the name of the patient and the ward they wish to visit. Security officers are available in the evening to provide assistance to visitors.

Accommodation
Visitors may arrange accommodation in the Whare (Whanau House). Please ask your nurse for further information.

Food, snacks and drinks
Unfortunately there are no facilities in the hospital for the purchase of snacks or drinks, only a drink and confectionery-dispensing machine is currently available.

Parking
Carparking is at a premium on the hospital site, so we ask you to adhere to parking areas.

Public toilets
Public toilets are located near reception at the entrance to the main hospital.
