To ensure the properties are presented to you upon arrival in a pristine condition we require check in to be arranged for after 4pm on the day of arrival and checkout is to be before 10am on day of departure – unless specifically arranged with the management team. You will be asked and are expected to leave the house tidy ondeparture if you have paid a cleaning fee.
A compulsory cleaning fee is required for some properties, and will be included in your rental price..
If the cleaning of the property takes more than the allocated hours a further $25 per hour fee will be deducted from your bond
If the property does not have a cleaning fee you will be asked to leave the property as found on departure.
This will be explained to you by email when booking and there are instructions inside the property..

We do not permit more than the number of persons specified on the Booking Confirmation to sleep at the property. This is against fire regulations. If this condition is broken, it will result in immediate eviction of tenants from the premises, with complete loss of rental and bond.
Where the property is not left secure or any damages made, the tenant agrees to pay for any costs to reinstate the property including any damage costs.
