Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre MIQ Facility
Another complaint re Filthy Room at Waipuna Hotel & Conference Centre.
Professional Person with a Master’s in Public Health & years of experience in operating theatres has also been met with the same filthy conditions at Waipuna previously reported on Friday 17th September 2021.
1/ Dust on side- tables .
2/ Long black hair through the carpet as the earlier person had also experienced but blonde.
3/ Streams of ants heading towards a broken fridge & bait stations outside the room (not a good look for our Community owned Hotel).
4/ Rubbish only collected 3 times a week, so you are forced to sit in filth surround by ants.
5/ Used nappy on the outside of windowsill & a spitball on the ceiling (I’ll leave this up to the imagination).
6 / Appeared NOT to have been vacuumed behind curtains or under beds quoted for years.
7/ Maintenance man came to fix the window WITHOUT a N95 mask gloves or protective gear.
This is how we get cases of covid / delta in MIQ Facility’s.
8/ Issues raised with reception several times but was greeted with “blank incomprehension and evasiveness”
It is obvious from these Waipuna experiences (and I’m sure there are more we don’t know about) that the virus would be out of quarantine in milliseconds.
These are not isolated cases.
Seriously they wait for a probable or confirmed case of Covid 19 now Delta before carrying out “systematic cleaning and surface disinfection practices.
We don’t stand a chance of stamping this virus out anytime soon!!!
I now know why the person jumped out of the window at Waipuna earlier stay in MIQ as he was probably safer on the outside than on the inside.
GOOD MANAGEMENT STARTS & FINISHES AT THE TOP (heads need to roll).
I have been involved in Waipuna for at least the last 40years + and these are the first negative comments that I know of regarding Waipuna’s Management.
I’m sure all the MIQ facility’s are being paid by us the team of 5 million tax payers top dollar…..
WAIPUNA MANAGEMENT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A COMMUINTY OWNED ASSET!!!!
GOOD MANAGEMENT STARTS & FINISHES AT THE TOP (heads need to roll) ie the CE & Board members.
This should be front page of the NZ Herald!!!!
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

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?

81.5% Community feedback and transparency is needed.

18.5% No. This would be impossible in practice.
