LIFESTYLE YAMBA HOLIDAY BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
Thank you for choosing to book your holiday accommodation through Lifestyle Yamba. We hope you will enjoy your holiday in this beautiful area. Please read the following conditions carefully:
To ensure that your holiday is the best it can be, and for future guests, we ask that you respect the holiday property and our neighbours by abiding by the following Terms and Conditions. Any breach of the Terms and Conditions may result in early termination and/or loss of bond. Please read carefully. When you make a reservation with us, these Terms and Conditions are deemed to have been accepted by all guests that stay at a property. If you need clarification of any Terms and Conditions or have any issues, before, during or after the stay please contact us immediately so that we can attempt to correct the issue promptly. Compensation will not be considered unless we have been informed during the stay and allowed the opportunity to remedy it.
Bookings are accepted by Lifestyle Holidays in good faith, in the event that we must cancel a guest booking due to the property being withdrawn, sold, owner request etc, a full refund including the booking fee (this excludes any card/processing fee) will be provided and every endeavour made for an alternative property to be booked (subject to availability), but no claim, right, action or demand shall be made by either party.
1. All properties are privately owned and are rented on a fully contained basis. In the event of faults and/or malfunctions of appliances or inclusions, please notify our office asap. There is no obligation for the owner or Lifestyle Holidays to compensate or discount.
2. If your holiday property is listed for sale while you are in residence, the occupier agrees to allow the owner or agent to conduct inspections with prospective purchasers at mutually convenient times by appointment.

You will receive another email prior to your arrival with the specific details of key collection and lockbox codes. If you have not received this email prior to arrival, please contact the office.
4. If the keys are not returned within the allotted time a "late checkout fee" of $50.00 may be charged. (The purpose of these times is to allow the necessary time to clean the premises for new incoming bookings. Please consider your fellow incoming holiday occupants.)
5. The number of guests - Each holiday property is equipped for a specific number of guests. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. It is against Health Department Regulations for more persons to occupy a property than there are beds to accommodate them. The guest limits apply for the duration of the booking. Any unapproved excess guests/visitors may result in your booking being cancelled with no refund.
6. Excessive noise or parties will not be tolerated and may lead to immediate cancellation/eviction of the booking with no refund. There is to be no excessive noise between 10 pm and 8 am. If a noise complaint is made by a neighbour or police are called to the property then you will risk being evicted with no refund. Noise disruptions include loud behaviour of any type that disrupts the peace and quiet of others, intrusive or abusive language, anti-social behaviour, loud music or any other sounds affecting other residents.
7. Good neighbour policy - The property is a privately-owned home, and we enforce a ‘Good Neighbour Policy’. Please treat the property with the same care you would use with your own residence and leave it in the same condition it was in when you arrived. All occupants of the property agree to conduct themselves throughout the stay in a manner that is respectful of and not disruptive to neighbours, traffic flow, or the community and that will not prompt complaints from the police, local council, neighbours, or the neighbourhood. You and other occupants agree to abide by all applicable parking restrictions and limitations.
8. Code of Conduct - The NSW government has introduced a Code of Conduct for short-term rentals to better manage and address anti-social behaviour, amenity impacts (including in shared facilities such as pools and gyms) and other issues experienced by neighbours and communities. There are new requirements under the Code for all industry participants including hosts, guests, letting agents and booking platforms. As a guest, you:
Must not make noise that unreasonably disrupts your neighbours and must not cause damage to the premises, including any common property are responsible for the actions of your visitors and must ensure they meet the behaviour standards set out in the Code.
If you don’t meet your obligations under the Code, you could be issued a warning notice, fine or be added to the exclusion register if two breaches (‘strikes’) are recorded in a two-year period. If you are added to the exclusion register, you won’t be able to be a guest in short-term rental accommodation for five years.
