Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.

Insurance: As always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd Party Domestic Travel Insurance Policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel. This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. We suggest reviewing policies with 'Cover-More' or 'Travel Insurance Direct' or 'Insureandgo'

So we only allow music outside until 8pm and only via a hand held bluetooth speaker. If these expectations are consistent with your plans then the lodge will be fantastic for your getaway.
If you are caught bringing a sound system larger than a handheld portable bluetooth system that you can grasp in the palm of your hands, your booking will be cancelled. You will need to explicitly state you agree to these conditions of booking for your request to be accepted.

- "Great location, peaceful views. Property could do with a good “spring” clean! Overall the property was good, with enough firewood, some cutlery and crockery had not been cleaned properly. Check out time differed between the information sheet and the message that was sent on the final day. We would however return."
