Oceans Edge Beach House At Oak Beach

STAY WELL WHILST ON HOLIDAYS

We’ve put extra measures in place to ensure a safe holiday for you to enjoy. Our Stay Well Program has been implemented to ensure the safety of our guests, staff and community.

If you have just been tested for Covid 19 and are self-isolating when you are due to arrive, please do not travel to our holiday properties.

In the unlikely event of you testing positive for Covid-19 while you are on holidays, you will be required to isolate at your own expense.

We suggest getting travel insurance before you travel anywhere, just in case you have to change or cancel plans.

PROTECTIVE MEASURES

Our Stay Well Program strictly adheres to the Covid Safe Directives of the Queensland Chief Health Officer.

Please wash your hands often and bring hand sanitiser to apply frequently.

Compendiums and magazines have been removed and replaced with online information.

SOCIAL DISTANCING

Please practice the 1.5m social distance rule and any other government health advise.

INCREASED CLEANING AND SANITATION

We do increased cleaning and sanitation of properties with special attention paid to high touch surfaces, bathrooms and floors.

All linen is processed following the global WHO Safety Guidelines

HEALTH MANAGEMENT

Guests displaying cold and flu symptoms should self-isolate and get checked by a doctor.

Should you need to quarantine you will need to do so at your own expense.

Cashless payment may be required at some locations, i.e. Hamilton Island

CANCELLATION POLICY

The 20% deposit is non-refundable after payment. The balance of the accommodation payment (due 6 weeks prior to guest arrival) is non-refundable.

If the booking was made via a site similar to Expedia, Airbnb, Tripadvisor, the balance may be charged sooner by these sites in which case it is non-refundable.

If Luxury Holidays manages to rebook guest dates at the same rate, Luxury Holidays can then refund guest rent minus $100 admin fee.

If weather, natural disasters, pandemics or similar prevents the guest from reaching their accommodation, the guest agrees to use their travel insurance to claim on cost for accommodation. 

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ALL GUESTS ARRANGE TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR THEIR BOOKING. THERE ARE MANY TRAVEL INSURANCE COMPANIES AVAILABLE ONLINE.

Covid 19 Cancellation Policy

Notwithstanding the Cancellation Policy in the Luxury Holidays Terms and Conditions, should domestic state closures due to Covid 19 prevent you from traveling to your holiday property, we would give you a travel credit minus $100 admin fee as long as you please get in touch via email with us within 48 hours of restrictions being imposed on you.

We can then also wait longer to decide whether to cancel your booking if both parties agree to do so.

For any other cancellation reason please ensure you have travel insurance as credits and refunds are only possible if we rebook your dates at a non-discounted rate.

Travel to Australia from Overseas Locations

The Covid cancellation policy does not apply to guests traveling from overseas locations. To refund or obtain a travel credit the dates must be rebooked at a non-discounted rate first. Thank you for your understanding. The rules as to entry into Australia, especially into Qld from overseas are still too uncertain at this time.

Guests are responsible for keeping their children safe in the swimming pool. Guest should supervise children at all times. If a guest notices a pool latch failing or anything else considered unsafe, the guest should bring it to the attention of the agent immediately.
