SAFETY AND INSURANCE SUGGESTIONS
We have a large, private garden with winding trails leading down to the estuary. It is steep in parts so please take care. Like any of the facilities here (free use of kayaks, bicycles, etc) you use them ENTIRELY at your own risk. We cannot accept any responsibility if you hurt yourselves, others, or damage third party property.
Cross-trainers or sturdy shoes are strongly advised. Please ensure you have medical insurance if you’re from overseas.
Please note too that WE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for your personal items – do make sure you have insurance!
PRIVACY
We do not release or share ANY of your private details, except as may be required by law, or as in the case of someone who poses a threat to Cable Bay Nest’s interests (such as customer fraud) or whose activities may cause a danger to themselves or others.
FOR YOUR OWN COMFORT
We are located roughly 20 minutes drive from Nelson so we suggest you stock up on snacks, food, and beverages before your arrival. We recommend shopping at a locally owned small supermarket (Fresh Choice) on Collingwood Street, Nelson. They stock a good variety of locally-sourced gourmet foods as well as a comprehensive selection of both overseas and local wines and beers: https://freshchoicenelson.co.nz/
- Please note that we are NOT a “venue” for hosting meetings or parties. Please ensure that you respect the privacy and quiet of the area.
- NO children and NO pets please.
- Please leave outdoor shoes outside – you’re more than welcome to bring soft shoes or slippers for indoor wear.
