BOOKING TERMS & CANCELLATION POLICY
Your booking with us constitutes your agreement to the Terms and
Conditions outlined below.
A deposit is required to be paid to the accommodation provider by the
person booking accommodation as a gesture of goodwill and a promise
between the accommodation provider and the guest to ensure that both
parties honour their responsibility – the accommodation
provider to reserve the accommodation and not book it out to another
party, and the guest to arrive on the given date for the specified
amount of time and paying the agreed tariff. Sometimes unfortunate
circumstances prevent guests from honouring their booking and in most
cases other enquiries have been turned away by the accommodation
provider in order to hold the reservation. For this reason the
accommodation provider reserves the right to enforce the following
terms:
·
Deposit Amount: A deposit is required to
confirm all bookings. The amount of deposit will be equal to
50% of the total accommodation booking and is required to be paid
within 5 days of the initial booking date to confirm the reservation.
The remaining tariff is due on arrival to the property.
Immediate deposits are required when the reservation date is within 7
days of the initial booking.
·
Security: Credit Card details must be supplied
as security for all reservations regardless whether the deposit is to
be charged to that credit card.
·
No Credit Card? In the event that credit card
details are unable to be supplied, full payment of the reservation
tariff is required as deposit; and a cash security bond of $200 will be
required at the time of check in.
·
Payment: Payments may be made by MasterCard,
Visa, online transfer, cash, cheque, postal money order, and in most
instances via www.diamondforest.com.au using credit card
details.
·
Cheque Deposit: If sending a cheque deposit,
this must be received by the accommodation provider prior to 14 days of
the reservation date to confirm the booking.
·
Balance of Payment: Balance of payment is due
on arrival. Please note that cheque payments will not be
accepted on the day of arrival.
·
Cancellation: In the event that a guest cancels
a reservation the accommodation provider will make all endeavours to
fill the cancelled dates.
·
Cancellation Alternative: As an alternative to
cancelling a booking, a guest may choose to transfer their booking
“as is” to a friend or family member. Dates will
remain as booked and will not be rescheduled by the accommodation
provider.
·
Cancellation Fees: If the accommodation
provider is able to fill a cancelled booking the deposit will be
refunded less a cancellation fee of $35 plus any additional costs
incurred in filling the vacancy.
·
Cancellation Fees: For cancellations during
both peak and off peak seasons where the resulting vacancy is unable to
be filled and the accommodation provider has turned away other bookings
to hold the reservation the full amount of the reservation tariff will
be automatically charged to the credit card.
·
Cancellation Fees: For cancellations during both
peak and off peak seasons where the resulting vacancy is unable to be
filled and the accommodation provider has not turned away other
bookings to hold the reservation the full amount of the deposit will be
non-refundable.
· Failure to arrive on the
reservation date will incur full payment of the reservation tariff and
will be automatically charged to the credit card.
·
Cottage Allocation: In most cases
cottage allocation is not discussed with a guest at time of
booking. Diamond Forest Cottages allocates cottages to guests
according to bedding configurations and the suitability of sleeping
arrangements to each individual booking. Occasionally a particular
cottage may be requested by a guest and Diamond Forest Cottages will
endeavour to accommodate all requests, however a different cottage may
be allocated on arrival according to other bookings received and
sleeping arrangements required.
·
Cleaning and Damages: A fixed amount
of time is allocated to clean each cottage at guest departure. The
cottage should be left in a tidy state which includes washing and
drying dishes. Time required for additional cleaning will be
charged at $40 per hour or part thereof. The guest is
responsible for any damages or breakages. Additional cleaning
and damages will be automatically charged to your credit card.
·
Late Checkout: If not
pre-arranged with management, checkout after 10am where cleaners are
delayed will be charged at $40 per hour or part thereof.
·
Change of date: A change of date will
be considered under the same guidelines as for cancellations listed
above.
