Wenzel Motels Terms & Conditions
We welcome you to the Wenzel Motels booking website and hope you enjoy your experience, but you must read and agree to these terms and conditions as they will apply to your use of our website and any bookings you make with us using our online booking application. Wenzel Motels will accept your reservation subject to the following terms and conditions.
Wenzel Motels reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove sections of this website and these terms and conditions at any time without notice or liability. If you are a regular user of our online booking application, we recommend that you check this website and these terms and conditions on a regular basis, as it is not the responsibility of Wenzel Motels to inform you of any changes and any future reservations you make will be made subject to the terms and conditions which apply at the time a booking is made.

When you check-in, you may be asked to provide photographic identification.
If you are unable to provide such identification, your reservation may be cancelled, and you may be liable to pay us an amount equal to the full reservation amount plus any other costs incurred by us in connection with your reservation.
Guarantee Policy
Guarantee with a valid credit card is required at time of making a reservation via Wenzel Motels website as well as on check-in to the motel.
Deposit Policy
No deposit is required when booking a flexible rate online during free cancellation period (ie. any booking that does not require payment at time of booking). Rates that contain restrictions must be paid at the time of making the reservation on a Wenzel Motels website. Please refer to individual rate terms prior to confirming your reservation.
Payments
A valid credit card MUST be presented on check-in to the motel.
Payments may be made by credit card (as indicated for online bookings or as indicated as being accepted at the relevant motel) or by cash or EFTPOS at the relevant motel.
If you are settling your account over NZD 500.00 by credit card in our motels, please note that for Visa Card, Mastercard, 3% credit card transaction fee will apply. You may choose to change the method of payment to prepaid via bank transfer, as these methods of payment do not attract this fee.
You agree to pay interim accounts when presented even though you may not have departed from our motel.
You agree that any charges for services to you, not billed at the time of your departure, may be added to your account for settlement as arranged or may be charged to the same credit card used to pay the account at the time or to the credit card used to guarantee payment of your account.
Upon arrival at your selected property guests must provide valid Federal or State government issued photographic identification for security purposes. In addition, the Guest must also provide a credit card in the name of the photographic ID to secure the accommodation. A Credit Card pre-authorisation of up to $300 is required to cover incidental items including (but not limited to): mini bar, telephone calls, breakages/damages, excessive cleaning charges above the normal level of cleaning due to the room being left in an unacceptable state, etc.
The pre-authorised amount is set aside by the credit card company for a period of up to 10 working days (release times may vary, please check with the issuing financial institution). The pre-authorisation will affect your available funds balance or spending limit. For more information on this practice, we suggest the cardholder contact their issuer. Once a pre-authorisation has been made, we cannot release, remove, or lower the authorised amount, until we process the final account on departure. This is a restriction placed on us by the bank and cannot be negotiated. Wenzel Motels reserve the right to pre-authorise all credit cards within 2 days of arrival. Please note this process validates the presented credit card and protects both the cardholder and merchant from increasing fraud incidents.
