COVID-19 Hirer Information

The health, safety and enjoyment of our guests, staff and the wider community is our highest priority.

Our management group has developed a ‘COVIDSafe Plan’ for Mafeking Rover Park, which forms the basis of the measures we have implemented. We are ensuring every day that we meet government regulations and apply best practice procedures for the accommodation industry in managing the risks of COVID-19.

We are endeavouring to keep up with all government advice and requirements, and we will provide updates as things change.

We encourage you to check this page prior to arrival to ensure you are aware of all current changes.
