Air NZ does say "Koru members are welcome to bring a guest into the Air New Zealand International lounge in Auckland and the Thai Airways Business Lounge in Hong Kong".
So a guest is also permitted in the Thai lounge for a Koru member.

The multistop tool has been seriously broken for years. If you want anything other than simple flights booking via the call centre or travel agent is the best option.

I can see that the NZ website clearly shows access is allowed into the Thai lounge at HKG, not surprising given the Air NZ traffic.
I recall as a KC member quite a few years ago I managed to bluff my way into a couple of non-NZ *G lounges, but was (correctly) tuned away in on most attempts.

The Thai lounge is the only one if you're only a Koru member. If you've *G you get to pick between the Thai, Singapore and United lounges.
If you're NZ Gold or Elite you'll get all of those flying on another *A flight, or if you're flying back to NZ you'll get access to all the CX business lounges and would be crazy not to visit The Pier as it's a huge step up from the other lounges.

The Bridge (CX) is good as well, close to the NZ gate, has tended bar and pizza at one end, barista coffee at another. Showers good, easily outdoes the *A lounges at HKG (as does the Pier).

I realise this is an old thread but just want to see if the above statements around CX lounge access in HK is still accurate?
I have Elite status with Air NZ and will be in transit at HKG arriving from BCN for my flight back to NZ on NZ80 (ticketed by Air NZ).
I'm travelling in PE but my companion is in Economy. We are on 2 different bookings but I have called Air NZ to cross-reference the 2 bookings as i have put in APD upgrade request for my companion to PE which hasn't cleared yet.
My question is will both of us be allowed access into the CX Business class lounges ? Companion doesn't have any status.
Thanks
