House Rules:

We’re so pleased to host you and want to ensure a relaxing stay for both you, our local community and future guests of Weekenda at this property. Please take a moment to review the below guidelines.



Respecting Our Neighbours (Noise & Behaviour)

We’re located in a peaceful area, and we kindly ask guests to be mindful of noise at all times, especially in outdoor areas such as balconies and yards.

Quiet hours apply between 10:00pm and 8:00am, during which noise must be kept to a minimum.



No Parties or Events

This home is not suitable for parties, events, weddings, or large gatherings. We absolutely welcome groups of adults enjoying their time together—just with consideration for the home and our neighbours. If it’s the kind of stay that would create excessive noise or disruption, it’s probably not the right fit for this property.

Registered Guests Only

To ensure a comfortable stay, only guests included on the booking are permitted at the property.

If you’d like to invite visitors or add additional guests, please contact us in advance for approval. Visitors may be approved for short periods with prior written consent. Unapproved guests may result in additional fees or further action.



Cameras & Noise Monitoring

For the safety of guests, the property, and the surrounding community, external security cameras may be installed. These are positioned only in external access areas (such as entrances) and are used solely for security and neighbourhood monitoring. All devices comply with local regulations.

Some properties may also have a noise monitoring device installed. These devices do not record conversations and are used only to monitor overall noise levels in line with the NSW Short-Term Rental Code of Conduct. Guests must not tamper with, disconnect, or remove any monitoring equipment.



Compliance

We appreciate your cooperation in respecting these guidelines. Breaches of house rules may result in additional charges, cancellation of your booking, or involvement of local authorities where required.



Guest Registration / ID Check : Weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo ID i.e. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.



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'



This property is managed by Weekenda, a licensed real estate. Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.



We look forward to having you stay with us.
