Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

These terms apply to the website brightwildlife.com and to services provided by Brightwildlife Hospitality Limited at 42 Federal Street, Auckland Central, Auckland 1010, New Zealand. By using this site or dining with us, you accept these terms.

1. Using this website

The site is provided for information and reservation requests. You may browse, copy and share content for personal use, but may not reproduce it commercially, misrepresent the restaurant, or use the site unlawfully.

2. Reservations

Reservation requests made through this site, by phone or in person are requests only — a booking is confirmed when we reply to you by phone or email. This applies equally to restaurant tables, private events and places reserved for poker evenings. We may decline or reschedule bookings where necessary.

No payment is taken through the website. Any charges for food, drinks or private events are settled at the restaurant.

3. Restaurant services

Menus, prices and opening hours shown on this site are indicative and may change with the season and availability. All prices are in New Zealand dollars. Please tell us about allergies and dietary requirements when booking.

4. Cancellations and no-shows

If you can't make a reservation, please let us know as soon as possible by phone or email so we can offer the table to other guests. For larger groups and private events, cancellation terms will be agreed when you book.

5. Private events

Private dining and event bookings are arranged directly with us. Deposits, minimum spends and cancellation windows — where they apply — are confirmed in writing before the event.

6. Poker evening rules

Poker evenings are in-person gatherings held at the restaurant, open to guests aged 18 and over. By reserving a poker night place you agree that:

• poker at Brightwildlife is a social game played for fun — there are no cash stakes, no buy-ins and no cash prizes;
• we do not offer games for money, and personal cash games at the table are not permitted;
• places are limited and must be reserved in advance;
• normal restaurant conduct applies — staff may decline entry or end a guest's participation where behaviour is disruptive;
• you participate responsibly and within your own means.

Brightwildlife is not an online casino or betting platform, and nothing on this website offers online poker, betting, deposits or gaming accounts. Questions about our poker evenings can be sent to the contact details below.

7. Responsible participation

We want poker evenings to stay friendly. If a game stops feeling like fun, take a break — staff can seat you away from the table with dinner or drinks at any point. Guests who need support can contact the Gambling Helpline Aotearoa on 0800 654 655.

8. Liability

We take care to keep site information accurate, but make no guarantee it is error-free. To the extent permitted by New Zealand law, we are not liable for indirect losses arising from use of this website. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986.
