No water at Wellington Koru Club

Should be fixed later today but in the meantime no guests, no toilets, reduced offering of food & beverages.

didn't not get fixed Saturday (I was there until 730pm)

although they had signs up saying no guests, they were letting in one guest

food was OK - thai chicken curry, rice, sandwiches, filled rolls, usual biscuits, cheese and crackers

no barrister made coffee

paper plates and plastic cutlery

Our daughter said she headed to the Koru lounge for a glass of water, a slice of toast and to use the toilet. No water, no toilet and they took the toaster away as she approached it!!!

They need to work on turning some of the wine into water.

Legally without water being provided I don't think they'd actually be allowed to serve alcohol either.

I think they had the bases covered? There was substantial food offered, non-alcoholic drinks (including bottled water), toilets just outside the Koru entrance stairs/escalators (which by comparison would be closer than toilets to the bar area in the terminal).

Things are just about back to normal with barista coffee, toilets and the usual food selection but plastic glasses.
