Standard Terms and Conditions of Temporary Holiday Accommodation

Note: Variances can be agreed on but only by arrangement with the owner in writing.

The deposit as requested is non refundable and is required to secure the booking. Payment of the rental deposit constitutes the clients acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

Balance of the rental amount must be received in full 7 days prior to occupancy. If not the owner has the right to cancel the booking and attempt to re let it.

Cancellation if caused by the client, money paid is not refundable unless the house is re-let for the entire period. If it a refund is made due to the property being re-let then a $50 cancellation fee will apply.

The owners will make every effort to ensure the property is available as booked. However the owners reserve the right to make alterations to bookings due to unforeseen circumstances.

The villa is self contained.  When you arrive there will be a 'start up' supply of essentials such as tea, coffee, sugar, guest soap, toilet rolls, etc.  The required number of beds as per the booking will be made up with fresh linen.  If extra beds are used there will be an extra charge.  Towels will be provided for each guest.

If you require a top up of supplies, fresh linen and towels and a minor clean during your stay this can be provided for a minimum cost of $100.  If this is required please book this service as soon as possible.

To maintain a good standard for our guests we require certain conditions to be complied with. We appreciate most will respect our property but the occasional abuse requires that we state the following conditions.

Number of Guests should not exceed the number stated on the Confirmation Notice or subsequently agreed in writing or email.  Fees will apply for excess guests not agreed with the owners in advance.

Parties and Functions are strictly prohibited. The price charged is for domestic use only and not commercial. Accordingly this rate does not allow for the extra wear associated with functions in terms of cleaning, garbage removal, wear and tear, repairs etc.  No business is to be conducted at the premises.   Use contrary to this may result in loss of your bond and/or additional payments.

Damage, Breakages, Theft and Loss are the tenants responsibility during their stay.

Departure - the property should be left in a similar state to its condition on arrival. Check-out time is 10:00 by the latest, to allow time to prepare property for next guests.

Disturbance to our neighbours, including excessive noise, is prohibited and may result in termination of rental and loss of bond.

We will advise you when the security deposit is  payable. This  will be refunded wherever possible within 72 hours of vacation in full subject to the above conditions being met. It is designed to cover any additional costs incurred including but not limited to, any breakage, damage or excess cleaning requirements, extra guests beyond those declared ..etc. 

Please take care not to loose the keys to the villa. If the key is misplaced as a security precaution to future guests the locks would have to be all rekeyed.  There is a total of nine locks all keyed alike and the cost if this exercise is approximately $400 which would be payable by the guest who lost the key.

It is requirement that if nappies are to be disposed of they must be placed in separate sealed bags prior to being placed in the rubbish bin.  Otherwise the guest shall bear the cost of an extra rubbish collection service being carried out.  This is due to the general rubbish bin only being collected fortnightly by the City Of Bunbury.

Pets are not allowed unless specific arrangements have been made in writing with the owner.

Loss - the owners take no responsibility for the tenant's personal property.

Variations to these conditions may only be made by prior arrangements with the owner in writing.
