Absolutely NO SMOKING: Please do not smoke inside any of our properties or in close proximity to any open doors or windows. If the house smells of smoke at the end of your visit, our cleaners will need to deodorise the property and you will be charged for this cost.

Arrival/Departure Times: Frequently we have changeovers on the same day. This means that one booking finishes in the morning and a new booking commences in the afternoon. During the gap, our cleaners need to get in, check the property, clean it, change the linen and leave it in perfect condition for the next guest. We stagger the departure and arrival times for the properties to give our cleaners a bit of extra breathing space. Occasionally we can accommodate a late checkout (particularly if we do not have a changeover on that day. Please contact us a day before your departure if you would like to check whether this is possible. Otherwise, please adhere strictly to the departure time (unless expressly agreed to by us).

Our cleaners are on a tight schedule and their time must be respected (and paid for). If the cleaner arrives at the property and you have not departed (or are not ready to depart immediately), we will charge an overstay fee of $30 per hour or part thereof.
CHECK IN: at the time specified for your property
CHECK OUT: at the time specified for your property
Please check your booking email for the exact time of check in/check out.
No refund will be given for early or unscheduled departure.

CLEANING: Our accommodation is cleaned thoroughly after every stay. We allow enough time for a standard clean in the cleaning fee you have paid (this is detailed in the property manual). However should any additional cleaning be necessary then you will be charged extra to cover this cost.
Any breakages, damage, stained/soiled linen and/or excess cleaning items are to be paid for. This includes (but is not limited to) rubbish left inside the property, dishes left on benches & hand marks or dirty marks on windows/glass/mirrors.

ANIMALS Our properties are pet friendly and we welcome dogs and cats and other pets by negotiation. Your well behaved pets are welcome inside but please do not let them on to any furniture (unless you have brought your own rugs/sheets to cover the furniture). Guests are required to remove ALL TRACES of an animal being present at the property. This includes (but is not restricted to) any fur/hair (except on floors), food, stains, smells or faeces. Any damage caused by the animal must be repaired or reported to us (and will be charged back to you).

NUMBER OF DOGS PERMITTED: Council regulations restrict the number of dogs at a property at any one time to two (2). Please ensure that this limit is adhered to.

FAILURE OF SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT/APPLIANCES
We make every effort to ensure the property is ready for you to enjoy your stay. Where a problem is experienced (eg by failure of equipment such as dishwasher, washing machine, air conditioner, hot water service, TV, toaster or kettle or services such as power, water) please report it to us by phone, text or email. We will do our very best to get the item or serviced fixed, restored or replaced as quickly as possible. However, it may not always be possible to achieve this during your stay. This is not grounds for a refund or compensation for any loss you may have incurred.

BREAKAGES/DAMAGES: We expect the accommodation is returned to us in the condition presented on arrival. Breakages or damages not caused by normal wear and tear (animal damage does not constitute normal wear and tear) will be charged to you.

Additional Charges
Where you have incurred additional charges that exceed any bond you have paid or charged to a credit card (if you have supplied one), you authorise us to invoice you for this damage and you agree to pay the amount charged within 7 days or to provide a detailed explanation for our consideration. Failure to pay the amount owing, unless we consent, will result in legal action.
