Augusta House Booking Terms and Conditions

Hello Friends!

WELCOME

Thank you for booking your accommodation at our Augusta weekender. We trust you will have a great holiday and make the most of what this absolute winner of a town has to offer.

You will receive a text with the code to the key lock box on the day preceding your stay. There is a friend with a spare key (if all else fails) nearby.

A compendium is available soon on the website for more info on town, shops, nature, dog beaches. Any issues, call us.

The cottage is not exactly a normal holiday let, as it is still my principal place of residence. Still, there are rules to adhere to so that there are no misunderstandings between friends

BOOKING

All bookings are made for the dates as shown on the response email/letter/receipt. The premises is available after 2.00pm on the day of your arrival and is to be vacated by 10:00am on the day of your departure, unless prior arrangements have been made. The property is to be left in a similar state to its condition on arrival.

GUEST NUMBER AND BEHAVIOUR

Number of Guests will not exceed the number booked! (1,2 or 3) Fees will apply for excess guests. Parties and Functions are strictly prohibited. The price charged is for domestic holiday use only and not commercial. Disturbance to our neighbours, including excessive noise form music, is prohibited and may result in termination of rental and loss of bond.

DOGS

Dogs are welcome. The back yard is fully fenced for our dog and we have a doggy door on the back door. The butcher is over the back fence for you and your dog! If your dog is prone to barking, yapping, howling etc please take it with you when you leave the house so that neighbours are not inconvenienced. If they make too many complaints, we won’t be allowed to have the house available to dogs.

There are often possums, skinks, blue tongue lizards and birds in the yard. Sometimes possums get in the roof. Let us know if you hear scratching and we can try to remove the little ratbag, but it’s not a quick job. They scratch and bite!

PAYMENTS

We will only confirm a booking when full payment plus bond has been received. The whole amount of your accommodation must be paid at time of booking to reduce complications for a simple booking. Payments can be made by paypal.

LINEN

Linen is supplied for the main queen bed. Linen can be supplied for $25 for the fold out bed if required.

Don’t forget your dog’s bed! The contact of Red’s doctor, Dr Phil, the Cape Creatures Vet, in Margaret River is on the fridge in the house for emergencies.

Any extras such as forgotten linen etc can be paid directly in this account:
