1. No Party/event - This property has a Minut Smart Home device which monitors noise levels to ensure our neighbours are respected and the property is looked after. There is a strict no party, no loud music at night, no antisocial behaviour and no more in the property than what you have booked for. Immediate cancellation of reservation may occur with no refund for the remaining stay with costs passed on to you for security.
2. Check in - We have in person check ins at all our properties that we host. We manage the property on behalf of the owner and as part of our contract with them we don’t have a self check in option. For check in, the person that booked must be the person that checks in (exceptions made for a corporate booking or insurance company). We reserve the right to ask all guests for ID and we will complete a form at check in.
a. Late check in – as our check ins are in person we can meet you at any time between 3-9pm at the property. We can meet you later than this and any check in after 9pm is $60 and after midnight $100, this amount is passed to the person meeting you due to their extra expenses later at night.
b. Early Check in – We can sometimes offer an early check in however will only be able to confirm in the day or two before your check in. To provide an early check in we will add another cleaner or use a different cleaning company to ensure it is ready for an earlier time (the fee we have for early check in varies between weekday and weekend and is between $50-100). We unfortunately don’t have a bag storage option at this property.
3. Late Check out – We ask that you let us know at least 48 hours before your check out if you wish to have a late one, this will ensure we can reschedule cleaning and if necessary maintenance. Late check out for us depends on if someone else is checking in the same day and also on the cleaning company’s schedule that we use. Please do not leave bags later than 10am as we use an external cleaning company and some building managers are very strict so may remove anything left in common areas.
