FAQ

You can book a room either online, by email, on the phone or in person at the office on the complex.  A two-week deposit is required to hold the room until your arrival.

You will receive confirmation receipt of your deposit – this guarantees you a space.

You can.  We will endeavour to meet any special requests when we can.  If we cannot we will contact you to keep you up to date.

There are 4 double bedrooms with private ensuite facilities in each apartment. Whenever possible we try to allocate 2 guys and 2 girls in each apartment and if the bookings allow, we attempt to allocate 2 international and 2 domestic tenants within that mix.

We offer two lengths of leases – a 24-week lease or a 50-week lease (this gets the discounted rate!) The rooming agreement/fixed term lease is the agreement that you sign on arrival.  It is a legally binding document between the tenant (you) and the owner of the apartment.  Once you have signed this lease you are liable for the rental payments from the start date of the lease to the end date of that lease.  During this period, the owner of the apartment cannot increase the rent on that apartment.

The rental bond is an amount 4 times your weekly rental payment that is paid either before or on arrival.  This amount is sent to the Residential Tenancy Authority (a state government body) where it is held until the end of your lease as a form of security against any damage or loss of rent.  The bond is released at the end of your lease into your nominated bank account.

The entry condition report is a form that you fill in within the first 3 days of arrival to the complex.  You will check your bedroom, ensuite facilities, kitchen, and lounge areas for any damages/marks.  At the end of the lease, an exit condition report checks the same areas and is compared to the entry condition report to ensure that no damage has occurred during your stay (general wear and tear is acceptable, don’t panic.)

100 GB OF INTERNET EACH MONTH INCLUDED IN YOUR RENT. We use an outside provider of internet called Cirrus Communications.  You can top up your 100 GB with time blocks bought from Cirrus online. You can use your internet in your room with an internet cable or around the resort pool you can use the WI-FI.   There is a one-off connection fee of $40 which activates the telephone/internet lines to your bedroom. Be warned, the internet is slower in Australia than in a lot of Europe.
