Notes
Code of Conduct: Payment for the booking warrants you and all guests staying will abide by the Code of Conduct for Short Term Rental Accommodation which can be viewed under the Guest Information tab on our website or a link which will be sent to you in your booking confirmation email.

Noise at Properties: NSW Planning has passed laws that affect guests. The Code of Conduct for holiday renting can be found on our website under the Guest Information tab. In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties. This means guests have to be very mindful of noise made in or outside the property that can disrupt neighbours at any time of the day. If you or any other guest receives a warning regarding excess noise or excess guests, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund of monies. Noise audible outside the property is prohibited.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.

No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.

Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.

Security Deposit: For most bookings, completion of our registration process and a valid credit card with a $1000 available limit is sufficient for the security deposit. For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.

Peace of Mind: For your added security, this property is managed by a Licensed Real Estate Agent. We will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held safely in our Trust Account until after your departure.

List with Us: If we had more properties in our management portfolio, we could easily get them booked. Demand is high and supply just can’t keep up. Send us a message or call us if you would like to know more about the packages we offer for short term rental management.

Dirty house, and they couldn't care less.
The owners have done a fantastic job on renovating this house, but unfortunately, the property was totally let down by not being properly cleaned before we arrived. There was crusty old soap and a hair tie in the shower, dust and sticky cup rings on the bedside tables, crumbs on the kitchen table and benchtops, hand prints on the walls and glass doors, and dust on the skirting boards and bedroom shelves. The outside laundry was coated in thick dust. The beds looked like they were made up in a hurry - with the sheets on crooked and only half tucked in. When I made a complaint, the young man who manages the cleaning came to investigate, but unfortunately he seemed defensive before he even stepped foot inside - insisting that 'he had photos' of the clean from his staff. I showed him all the things I had concerns about, and he didn't really seem to care. He did comment that the shower shouldn't have had old soap left in it, and reluctantly cleaned the shower after I explained that I had arrived late the night before and cleaned all the kitchen and dining table surfaces, and really didn't want to have to clean the shower before getting in it, seeing as I was on holidays and all. He never offered to wipe down the other surfaces that were still dusty and grimy. He said the laundry was not inside the house, and not his problem. I relayed this very poor response to Sharon at Holiday Rental Specialists, but she seemed to think the problem was that during peak times they had a lot of teenagers working doing the cleaning, and they really didn't have any experience. I didn't find that a very satisfactory explanation. Basically, it means that if you rent through them in peak season, don't expect a clean property. I suggested they needed a new cleaning company, or at least some basic training and mentoring for the cleaning staff, or more staff, or more time for the staff to actually clean the property. Not what I expected for the money we paid. The whole experience really tainted our stay there. It was a family reunion, and I spent the first evening and most of the next taking photos to back up my concerns and cleaning the place so I could feel comfortable staying there. I have never left a bad review in my life, but I feel strongly compelled to, to save others from having the same disappointing experience we did.
