Should I fly or drive to Wellington?
We would recommend guests from North Island to drive down or carpool together to avoid any complications or expenses should the COVID-19 Alert Levels change.
Please contact us if you are able to offer a ride or are wanting a ride.

What precautions are the retreat committee taking in light of COVID-19 restrictions?
Should the levels change, Silverstream will have their protocols in place and the retreat committee will work together with them to ensure the safety of participants.
Social gatherings can go ahead at Alert Level 2 with up to 100 people in a defined space. The ISMNZ Retreat is expecting less than 100 person, and therefore permitted to go ahead at Level 2. Should the Level change from 2 to higher, the ISMNZ Retreat will be cancelled. We will expect some lead-in time from the Level change announcement, where all attendees will be informed and full refund given.
