Please note: Our castles are rented out as a self-service option only. We do not deliver and set-up any castles. Our castles are picked up from our The Lakes, Pyes Pa location. Our castles are extremely easy to set up in less than 5 minutes and everything fits in the boot of a small car.

Our castles are strictly for Birthday Parties / Family Gatherings and not for Public Events, Church Events etc. Feel free to give us a call if you are unsure whether our castles will work for you.

1. PUBLIC LIABILITY

Provided that the equipment is used in accordance with the below guidelines and conditions of hire, those using the inflatable should do so safely. However, accidents can happen. Kiwi Castles can accept no liability for injuries sustained or any other loss, howsoever caused, in the absence of Kiwi Castles management. As the equipment will be in the hirers possession and control whilst in use rather than Kiwi Castles, any liability for injuries or other losses caused rests with the hirer. Accordingly, it is strongly recommended that the hirer has adequate public liability insurance covering his or her liability arising from the use of the inflatable.

2. BOOKING CANCELLATION, REFUND POLICY AND BOND REFUND
