BOOKING AND RESERVATION POLICY
TRAVEL INSURANCE AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Because unexpected events can impact your travel plans, we strongly recommend that you protect your holiday investment by purchasing travel insurance. We use Airbnb’s cancellation policy. Please note that for Covid related cancellations including border closures the cancellation policy will stand. Date changes on bookings will only be accepted that are sent at least one month prior to the check in date.
CHECK IN & CHECK OUT
Check in is from 3pm. There is no guaranteed check in before 3 pm.
Checkout is 10 am unless otherwise stated. Failure to comply will incur a surcharge which is 25% of the nightly rate.
Please also ensure you review the guest compendium provided: it contains important property details, operating instructions and emergency procedures. Please DO NOT operate spa pools, televisions, or electronic devices until you have reviewed the associated instructions. Improper operation may impair performance or reception and result in a chargeable service call.
KEY COLLECTION
We will make contact 24 hours before arrival with your travel plans to organise key collection. Unless otherwise arranged, a key will be left in a secure lock box at your holiday home accommodation or the property manager will contact you regarding key placement.
A call out due to lost keys or lockout will attract a non-negotiable minimum fee of $120 + GST.

We do not accept any responsibility or liability for acts of omission of third parties that may prevent or disrupt a guest’s booking. The information and descriptions supplied here are believed to be accurate and offered in good faith. Certain features or facilities may not be available from time to time due to circumstances beyond our control for which we accept no liability. In addition, no liability can be accepted by us for any injury, loss or damage to the guest, any member of the guest’s party or any visitor to the rental property, arising out of or in connection with the use of the rental property.

FORCE MAJEURE
No liability can be accepted by us where the contract is affected by ‘force majeure’.

These events include but are not limited to natural disaster, adverse weather, fire, acts of God, technical problems with transportation, threat of war, war, riot, civil commotion or strife, hostilities, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, nuclear disaster, government action or other events outside our control.
If by any means of any event of ‘force majeure’ that prevents the property manager performing our obligations, then such delay or non-performance shall not be deemed breach or entitle a legal claim. We are therefore not responsible for the non-availability or the early termination of the agreement for any matter or reason which is beyond its control.
