A security bond or credit card details are held as security to cover any extra expense incurred during your stay. The amount of the bond varies between properties. Any bond deductions will be followed with an explanation and tax invoice for costs incurred. If the security bond has been paid with the booking, this will be refunded at the end of the month following your departure.

Noise and music should not impact on any other property and noise levels are to be respectful at all times. There is to be no outdoor music or outdoor entertaining after 10pm. Noise complaints will result in bond deductions and possible evictions.

It is our policy that beds must only be used with full linen. Any person found to have been in breach of this condition (sleeping directly on protectors) will be charged an additional laundering fee deducted from the security bond.
All properties are equipped with mattress and pillow protectors plus doonas, pillows and covers (except Shuck Yeah - guests must provide their own quilt covers).
Full linen is included in some properties – please check before your arrival.
If linen is not included in a property, guests can either bring linen (sheets, pillow cases and towels), or arrange for linen hire through Coffin Bay Linen Service.

Any additional cleaning or maintenance required as a result of pets will be deducted from the security bond and or charged at cost.

Our website contains information on appliances in each property.

It is recommended guests bring all catering supplies including salt and pepper.

- Cancellations
If you need to cancel your booking please contact the office as soon as possible.
We endeavour to provide a full refund less an administration fee.
Our formal policy is:
If a guest cancels a confirmed booking more than 1 month prior to check in, the deposit will be returned less a $100 cancellation fee. This covers the booking fee we are charged by our Booking Manager and other administration fees.
If a guest cancels a confirmed booking less than 1 month prior to check in, there is no refund unless the property can be rebooked. If the property is rebooked, monies paid will be refunded less a $100 cancellation fee.
In the event of advance bookings being cancelled by the owner and/or agent, a full refund will apply. Due consideration will be given in consultation with the owner, to any cancellation at any time occasioned by exceptional circumstances.
We cannot accept responsibility for actions taken by the owner of the premises outside our control, and we reserve the right to cancel any booking, as per the owner’s instruction. In this event we will notify you as soon as possible and do our best to arrange other accommodation or dates suitable to you, failing which all deposit monies paid will be refunded, but no other claim, or action or demand shall exist in or be made by either party.
Bookings are taken by the agent in good faith; however, the guest acknowledges that the agent does not own the property and that the owner may instruct the agent to cancel or ask the guest to amend booking dates at any time up to the day of check in. Similarly, no responsibility will be accepted by the agent for errors, omissions or descriptions of holiday properties.
- Holiday Cancellation and Protection Insurance
Guests should consider taking out comprehensive holiday cancellation and protection insurance with a reputable insurance company to cater for any unforeseen circumstances which may arise including accident, ill health or any other matters beyond the guests’ reasonable control.
- Property Rates
Property owners set the property rates in conjunction with the agent. Rates may be subject to change for bookings made more than 3 months in advance by the discretion of the owner.
Our aim is to maintain a high level of service and accommodation. These conditions of tenancy are necessary to protect the owner’s valuable holiday properties and to ensure that the property remains at a high standard for the enjoyment of subsequent holiday makers.
We thank you for your reservation and trust you enjoy your stay in Beautiful Coffin Bay.
