Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre making Stuff news (must read )
Two-week stay in dirty, bug infested MIQ room ‘unbelievable’
This is owned by us the community that live it the Mt Wellington Licensing Trust area.
I would like the Chief Executive Brent Robinson & the 6 elected board members (elected by us the community every 3 years ) to explain how this has been allowed to happen.
Here a few of the complaints.
1/ Dirt smeared on the telephone.
2/ Weeks of dust build- up in the grates of the fan and the back of the TV
3/ Food was awful most of the meals where inedible and arrived cold.
4/ Spiders in the shower and hole in the wall that ants trailed through into the bathroom.
5/ Room not vacuumed properly
Would you pay $3100.00 for this 2 week experience????
From what I read into this the Hotel is going to rack & ruin and will be worthless to us the community.
The CE & the 6 elected board members need to be held accountable as they are the caretakers to protect our biggest asset.
Thank goodness there is another election next year.
Please give some consideration to stand as a board member to protect our asset as clearly these people are NOT

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
