Your Stay with Us

A few hours after the birth of your baby, you will be transferred from the birth suite to your private maternity suite. You and your baby will room in together during your hospital stay, unless your baby needs to be cared for in our Special Care Nursery.

Throughout your stay our experienced and friendly midwives and clinical staff will assist you with the practical aspects of caring for your baby, ensuring you leave feeling prepared for life with your new baby.

You won’t be rushed home after the birth of your baby. You can expect to stay in our care and enjoy 24-hour nursing support for 3-4 nights following a vaginal birth or 4-5 nights following a caesarean.

We understand what a special time in your life this is, and we want to ensure you get to enjoy the experience as a family. Partners are welcome in the Maternity Ward at any time of the day or night.

Sleeping arrangements within the suite are available should partners wish to stay the night for which there is no additional fee.

Our maternity patients have the option of choosing from our a` la carte menu. Meals can also be ordered for partners at a small additional cost.

Our hotel services team can assist you with menu choices and any special requests. If you have special dietary needs they can be easily arranged following admission.
