Visiting hours for partner/support person and whānau in Hastings
Partner/support person – all day.
Overnight stay is available in Ata Rangi and Waioha.
Visitors and whānau visiting hours are 1pm-8pm Monday–Sunday.
It is important that you are aware of these visiting hours as our facility supports rest time for new mums and their babies, and no visiting is allowed out of these times. We ask that you support us in helping your family member/friend to get some much needed sleep and rest during the day as they are often up during the night. Thank you for your understanding.
