BOOKING STAYS

Fees are to be paid to us using the payment method prescribed on our Site and in accordance with the payment terms. You must pay the Fee in full prior to the commencement of your Stay. We may cancel your Stay if the Fee is not paid to us in full in accordance with these Terms.
Our Fees may change from time to time, at our discretion. It is your responsibility to check our current Fees before you submit your booking through our Site. For the avoidance of doubt, once your booking is complete, the Fee for your Stay will not change.

You may not transfer your Stay to another party. If you are unable to participate in a Stay, the cancellation policy will apply. We may allow you to transfer a Stay, or any amounts of the Fee paid by you, to another party, however we will have no obligation to do so, and this allowance will be made in our absolute discretion.
DATE CHANGES

If the New Date is available, and you wish to change the start date of your Stay:
(a) more than 14 days prior to the start date of your Stay, the date change will be free of charge; or
(b) within 14 days from the start date of the Confirmed Stay, you must pay us an administrative fee of $150 AUD, for the reasonable costs incurred by us for the start date change.
RESCHEDULING OR CANCELLATION BY US
We will notify you as soon as possible if we need to cancel or reschedule a Stay, and we will use our best endeavours to reschedule the Stay at an alternate start date that is agreed between the Parties.
If we cancel a Stay because of events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control:
(a) prior to the start date of the Stay, and we cannot find an alternate start date agreed between the Parties, you will receive a refund of any Fees that have been paid by you; and
(b) after the start of the Stay, you will receive a refund of any Fees that have been paid by you on a pro-rata basis.
