* Booking Confirmation
By submitting a booking request for a property on our Website, you (referred to as “the guest”) agree to abide by these terms and conditions (referred to as “Terms”).
 
Upon submitting a booking request through one of our property managers will contact you within two working days to inform you of the confirmation or non-acceptance of the booking request.
 
The acceptance of a booking request is solely at the discretion of the Property Manager. If your booking request is not accepted, The Property Manager will promptly refund any charges for accommodation, service fees, and add-ons. However, please note that it may take up to 5 working days for the refunded amount to be credited back to your account by your credit card provider or bank.
 
* Booking Periods and Minimum Nights

For long weekends, a booking is typically for a duration of three nights, unless stated otherwise. However, if your booking includes the Easter period, a minimum stay of four nights is required.
 
During all other times, there is a minimum stay requirement of two consecutive nights, unless a specific property listing specifies a longer minimum stay. We may consider bookings for a shorter duration within 2 weeks of the holiday periods.
 
* Booking for the Number of Persons and Maximum Capacity
 
Bookings must adhere to the maximum number of people allowed as specified in the property listing, regardless of the available beds in the property. In the event that a booking request is not accepted due to the number of individuals in the group exceeding the maximum limit for the property and/or the specified time period, any funds collected from the prospective guest will be refunded, with the exception of the non-refundable service fee.
 
The booking is valid for the number of individuals and group configuration indicated in the booking request. Any changes to the booking must be communicated in writing to the property manager and require their approval to ensure the booking remains valid.
 
* Cancellations and Booking Changes
In the event of a cancellation or a request to reduce the number of nights before the start of your stay, any accommodation costs and service fee paid will be forfeited, and no refund will be issued.
 
If you cancel the booking after the final payment due date, you will still be responsible for the remaining balance of funds due for the reserved stay period.
 
If the property manager successfully re-books the cancelled or reduced nights, the applicable amount paid for the re-booked nights will be refunded, minus a 15% administration fee. The guest must contact the property manager no later than 21 days after the original start date of the cancelled or reduced booking to determine eligibility for a refund on the re-booked nights.
 
If you choose to depart prematurely during your booking, no refunds will be provided.
 
* Presence of the Booking Maker During the Stay

As the individual making the booking, you are required to be present and on-site at the property for the entire duration of the stay, unless written consent has been obtained from the property manager
 
* Rent and Damage Waiver

All guests have the option to utilise our deferred payment plan by paying a 20% deposit. The remaining balance of the booking cost will be charged to the credit card 30 days prior to the scheduled stay. The credit card used during the booking request will be used for any additional payments.
 
The rates for a Property are valid and applicable at the time of booking, regardless of any subsequent changes. Additional rates may be applicable under the special conditions of a specific property, which will be in addition to the nightly rental rate. Rate specials are only valid at the time of booking and must be applied during the booking process. Weekday specials apply to Sunday nights through Thursday nights.
 
A Damage Waiver will be included when making a booking, which provides protection for you and your group against damage to the property or its contents (excluding damage caused carelessly, recklessly, maliciously, or intentionally) up to a specified amount. Please refer to the detailed information provided during the booking process. Any damage exceeding the waiver amount will be charged to the credit card used for the booking.
