At the Property, every effort is made to ensure all stated facilities and equipment are working to their full capacity on guest arrival.  If not, guests are encouraged to contact our Property Consultant immediately to advise any issues (details are left on site) to enable repairs to be undertaken as quickly as possible.

The owners will accept no responsibility for facilities/equipment not working where every effort has been made for a quick repair, but due to circumstances beyond their control (ie. but not limited to: unavailability of parts or service personnel) the facility/equipment is not available during a guest’s stay.

Guests will not be eligible for any compensation/reduction in paid rent for facilities/equipment not working.

Separately, no post departure claims for compensation will be accepted.
