Generally, all standard reservations operate under a Strict No-Party & Non-Excessive Noise Policy as prescribed in the NSW Short-Term Letting Legislation and Local Council Laws unless permission has been given by management. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. Inappropriate/anti-social behaviour is not permitted.

Extra Guests / Visitors: The number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors. Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing by management. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by conditions may apply to allow this including strict departure timing for visitors. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules. A per person charge may apply for each visitor due to the impact on the Rain water & Septic system during their visit. Please discuss with management for more information.

Cameras and Noise Monitoring: We are progressively rolling outdoor Cameras at our property in 25/26. Noise Monitoring will happen during your booking as Management live onsite. Outdoor Noise Curfew is strictly 10.30pm. Music/Noise/ Celebrations that may extend past this curfew must be approved prior to your booking to ensure Management can notify neighbours.

Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'
