1. Guest Conduct
We reserve the right to refuse accommodation or service to guests who behave in a rude, disrespectful, or discourteous manner. Aggressive or abusive behaviour towards our staff or representatives will result in immediate termination of your stay without refund.

2. Guest Numbers
Only the number of guests listed in your booking are permitted to stay overnight at the property. Any undeclared overnight guests will incur a fee of $50 per person, per night. Day visitors are welcome but must not stay overnight unless formally added to the booking.

3. Check-In and Check-Out

Check-in is from 3:00pm. Early check-ins are not guaranteed and must be approved by our team in writing. Selecting a preferred check-in time via Airbnb does not confirm early access.

Check-out is strictly 10:00am. Late check-outs must be pre-approved. If you stay beyond 10:00am without authorisation, you will be charged the full nightly rate. This charge is a fee and does not entitle you to remain at the property.

We cannot guarantee the return of personal items left behind after checkout. If items are found, return is at the guest’s request, cost, and risk.

12. Reviews and House Rule Enforcement
Leaving a negative review as a response to enforcement of clearly communicated house rules (such as guest limits, noise, or check-out times) is considered a breach of these terms. We welcome fair, constructive feedback that reflects the true quality of your stay.

13. Reporting Cleanliness or Other Concerns
Guests are encouraged to promptly report any concerns related to cleanliness or other issues within 4 hours of check-in. To facilitate an efficient resolution, reports must be substantiated with valid, photographic evidence that includes timestamps. Upon receiving a report, we will compare the provided evidence with our own photos taken after every cleaning session.

If it is determined that a valid cleanliness or hygiene concern exists, we will offer to arrange a re-clean of the affected area where appropriate. Please note that small stains on furniture or carpets, which do not compromise hygiene but may require steam cleaning, are addressed on a quarterly basis. These stains are treated accordingly during regular cleaning procedures.

We strive to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and guest satisfaction, and your feedback helps us ensure a pleasant stay for all our guests.

14. By booking this property, you confirm you have read, understood, and agreed to all house rules. Any breach of these rules may result in immediate cancellation of your reservation without refund.
