Te Kūiti Holiday Park barrier to remain open

24 Jul 2023, 10:45 AM

Due to significant damage to the barrier arm at Te Kūiti Holiday Park in Te Kumi Road, the gate is currently locked open until further notice. This decision has been made to ensure the safety of all users until the issue is properly addressed.

The next course of action will be determined based on the recommendations provided by experts. Our team has promptly contacted a company that specialises in gate investigation, repair, or replacement. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and assure our users that we are working diligently to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

We are committed to taking all necessary measures to rectify the situation promptly. However, please understand that some factors are beyond our control, and we appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
