The “Rental Party” is comprised of the Guest and the persons indicated in the Booking (Members). Only those specified in the Booking are considered Members of the Rental Party, all other persons are considered “Unauthorised Guests”. The Guest is responsible for ensuring that every Member of the Rental Party is recorded in the Booking. Unauthorised Guests are not permitted to stay overnight or sleep at the property. The total amount of people in the Rental Party will not exceed that outlined in the Booking.

The pre-authorisation will be released following departure, provided that no damage, additional cleaning, missing items, or other breaches of this Agreement are identified during post-stay inspection.

The Guest is responsible for ensuring that sufficient available funds are present on the nominated credit card at the time of pre-authorisation. Failure to provide a valid pre-authorisation may result in cancellation of the Booking or denial of access to the Property.
