Terms

Terms and conditions

By entering you agree to these terms. New Zealand law applies. The English version is the one that counts.

1. Promoter

The promoter is Mesa, Auckland, New Zealand (“Promoter”). Enquiries: use the email or New Zealand mobile on your Mesa account.

2. Promotion period

The promotion opens at 12:00am NZST on 2 September 2026 and closes at 11:59pm NZST on 25 September 2026 (“Promotional Period”). Entries outside that period are not valid.

3. Eligibility

Entry is open to natural persons who are 18 years or older at the time of entry, who are New Zealand residents, and who live in or near Auckland.

Employees, contractors and officers of the Promoter, and their immediate family, are not eligible.

The prize guest must also be 18 or older.

4. How to enter

To enter, complete a Mesa waitlist sign-up during the Promotional Period (email or New Zealand mobile, first name, password, gender, age range, and a photo, as required on the form). Joining Mesa is free. There is no extra cost to enter.

One entry per person. If more than one account is created, the Promoter may treat only the first valid entry as eligible.

5. Prize

There is one prize. It is a trip to Queenstown for two people, comprising: return economy airfares Auckland–Queenstown; two nights’ accommodation at ROKI Collection Queenstown, 2 Brunswick Street, Queenstown, in a suite allocated by the Promoter (twin or double as available); and dinner for two at Essence by ROKI (tasting menu or à la carte as available at the time of booking). Wine pairing is not included unless the Promoter confirms it in writing.

Approximate retail value from NZ$7,500, depending on the suite allocated and travel dates. The prize is not transferable, not exchangeable, and cannot be taken as cash. Unused portions have no value.

The prize does not include travel insurance, ground transfers, meals other than the Essence dinner named above, activities, spending money, spa treatments, or any other cost. The winner is responsible for a valid passport or other ID if required by the airline, and for any change or cancellation fees they cause. A smart-casual dress standard may apply at Essence.

Travel must be completed by 30 June 2027. Booking is subject to availability at the airline, ROKI Collection Queenstown and Essence, and to blackout dates the Promoter reasonably requires. If ROKI, Essence, or another part of the prize is unavailable, the Promoter may substitute a prize of equal or greater value.

6. Draw and winner

The winner is drawn at random from eligible entries at 12:00pm NZST on 30 September 2026 in Auckland.

The Promoter will contact the winner using the email or New Zealand mobile on their Mesa account within two working days of the draw. The winner has seven days from that contact to accept. If they do not, the Promoter may redraw.

The Promoter’s decision on eligibility, the draw and the prize is final.

7. Publicity and privacy

The Promoter may publish the winner’s first name and neighbourhood. Personal information is collected to run this promotion and to operate the Mesa waitlist, and is handled as described in Mesa’s privacy page.

8. Cancellation

The Promoter may cancel, suspend or end this promotion at any time before a prize is awarded. If that happens, no prize is awarded and no compensation is payable.

9. General

The Promoter is not responsible for late, lost or incomplete entries, or for events outside its reasonable control (including airline, weather or accommodation disruption).

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. The New Zealand courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Nothing in these terms limits rights you cannot contract out of under the Fair Trading Act 1986 or the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
