PAYMENTS / DEPOSITS: A 25% deposit is required up front to secure your booking. The remaining balance is required within 30 days of arrival. Any booking not having the required deposit with us within 24 hours will be automatically cancelled without notification to the client or their travel agent. Deposit conditions for certain accommodation may vary and we will advise you of these conditions at the time of booking if they differ from the above.
Note there is a $25 Booking Fee. Full payment is required by Credit Card for bookings made less than 30 days prior to arrival. Please note a 2.5% merchant fee applies to all credit card transactions. If you prefer to pay by direct deposit (no fees), our trust account details will be sent to you by email when your booking is confirmed. However, please note that we do require your credit card details as a security bond.
CANCELLATIONS: Cancellation must be in writing and can either be via email: [email protected] or by letter to PO Box 850 Airlie Beach QLD 4802 Australia. Please quote your booking number, surname and dates of arrival and departure.
Booking cancelled over 30 to 90 prior to arrival: a cancellation fee of 25% of the total booking value will be deducted from your refund.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: We strongly recommend Travel Insurance as it may protect you if you cancel your holiday due to unforeseen circumstances.
PROPERTY DAMAGE: Any damage to the property or its contents caused by guests will be charged to the guest who’s name the booking has been made in. A security deposit or credit card imprint will be required for all holiday accommodation on arrival. Should you find the property damaged prior to your stay, please advise our office immediately on (07) 4948 8500. Failure to do so will deem you to be totally responsible for the condition of the property on departure.
CHECK IN / KEY COLLECTION: In most instances your key is available for collection at our office situated at Shop 2b Reef Plaza, 16 Paluma Road, Cannonvale. However some properties are set up with a key code entry and keylock storage. This will be discussed with you depending on the property you book to stay at. Should your arrival be very late at night or early morning, please discuss this with your Property Manager who will endeavor to make satisfactory arrangements for you. Check in time is usually 1 pm and check out must be before 10 am on the day of departure. A fee of $100 p/hr may be charged if you do not vacate by this time.
Guest and invitees are expected to behave in a manner which is conducive to the safety, comfort and convenience of neighbouring properties.
A breach of house rules includes; noisy or offensive behavior, damage to property, improper or unseemly conduct or any act or omission which, in the opinion of the Property Manager, adversely affects or brings discredit upon the Manager, company and owner.
Without limiting the foregoing, personal property brought upon the premises shall include money, jewellery and other personal effects and motor vehicles parked on the premises.
As most properties have their own washing machine/dryer supplied there will be no mid stay service applied to. Extra cleaning/linen service can be arranged at your cost.
Property left in a state of excessive untidiness or where intentional damage has been caused, will attract charges to rectify the situation. Currently cleaning will be charged to your account at $40 + GST per hour for each additional hour required to return the property to its normal standard, plus replacement costs and fair wear and tear and cleaning accepted.
I authorize Ray White Whitsunday to deduct monies from my credit card supplied should damage or abnormal cleaning be required as per the above conditions. Should a deduction be made, you will be notified of the reason, the amount, and the date which the amount will be applied / charged.
