Cancellations & Refunds
Our cancellation refunds policy is very straight forward:
Cancellation Policy
We understand that sometimes, plans can go awry. However, from the time that you make a booking, bikes are held for you in anticipation of you coming. We cannot give refunds because your changed your mind.
When you book, we ask that you pay the full amount up front. We no longer take deposits or verbal reservations.
Change of Mind Policy
Please make your bookings carefully. If you have made a booking and wish to cancel within 72 hours of making such booking, we will not issue a refund. We will only issue gift vouchers to the value of the hire for you to use at a later date.
If you make a booking within 48 hours of your chosen date and time, we expect you to turn up and we will not issue refunds for cancellations or changes in booking quantities.
*card processing fees are not refunded and not included in refund calculations.
**This is assuming “fair warning” for us to be able to re-sell the bikes reserved by you. If there is more than a 25% change in booking numbers, we will refund only 50% of the booking change.
Please note, all cancellations or changes to a booking must be done by email. All emails can be sent to info@onyerbikehb.co.nz
We take all cancellation requests into consideration, pease let us know if there are unusual or exceptional circumstances that casued the cancellation.
Cancellation due to weather
Bicycling is an outdoor event, and it may be windy or raining during the winery tour. We don’t generally cancel for unsettled weather unless we consider it to be too uncomfortable or dangerous to cycle during our operation hours.
For this to occur we would have a weather forecast for Hastings district showing rain in excess of 1.5mm per hour for two or more hours or winds in excess of 30 km/h during the period of 11am to 4pm on the booked date. These readings are taken from the MetService website. Please note, Napier and Hastings have different forecasts and can experience different weather on the day.
If the weather doesn’t look enticing for a bike ride, please call us first to confirm the forecast. Weather is rarely as bad as it looks, so give us a call first.
If you still want to cancel because the weather is too wet or windy for you to cycle, we do allow booking cancellations within 24 hours with the following terms:
- We can organize the next available day to book you in for a bike ride, please let us know at the time of cancellation which day you would like to come on. This is subject to availability on your proposed date.
- We can issue you with a gift voucher to the value of the booking you made. This can be used within 2 years of issue.
Unfortunately we cannot do bank, card or cash refunds for weather cancellations.
Once a hire has started or the booking date and time has passed and you have not been in contact, no refunds will be given.
