Intoxication

For the safety of guests and staff, Punga Cove reserves the right to refuse to serve guests, due to intoxication.

In circumstances where staff judge the level of intoxication to be such that it may be unsafe for the individual concerned to stay at the lodge or for staff or other guests to be around that person, the intoxicated guest may be asked to leave without refund of accommodation and find their own return transport at their own cost.

Where property damage is sustained by Punga Cove, a spoilage fee may be charged.
