Rotoroa Island and COVID-19

Please read below information on what we are doing to keep our visitors and team safe while you experience our island sanctuary.

Rotoroa is an island sanctuary where visitors can connect with nature. It is also a semi remote island with no medical facilities to deal with a Covid-19 case and emergency services may take some time to respond. We want keep our visitors and team staff, so have taken a practical approach to our policy and considered risk on the basis of the level of close contact indoors. 

We look forward to seeing you; please help us by observing the following:

  • Masks are encouraged inside all (public) buildings 
  • Adherence to the requirements of the current NZ Government Covid-19 level
  • If anyone feels unwell/has Covid-19 symptoms while on island – they must immediately advise our duty ranger
  • If you test positive for Covid-19 within 3 days of visiting the island, please advise our duty ranger
  • If you are unwell, please stay at home

  • Providing hand sanitizer in our toilets, in addition to liquid soap. 
  • Undertaking regular deep cleaning in our public facilities and after each accommodation visit
