All our holiday houses are much-loved private homes containing personal belongings and household items that we need to protect. The security bond is paid by you on the acceptance that if damage were to occur during your stay, you will be accountable for the cost of repair. Please notify your property manager of any breakages or damage as soon as possible, so repairs can be arranged in time for the next guest.

The bond also covers instances where extra cleaning is required, over and above the standard cleaning time of the property, or breaching our Terms & Conditions. For example: using the property as a venue for a function, wedding or party, excess noise etc.

The bond will be refunded to your nominated bank account once the property has been inspected and cleaned. Please allow up to 7 days for this process to be completed. You will be notified by email once the bond has been refunded.

This may be possible in some instances, depending on the situation.

All properties have WiFi. The Wilyabrup properties have satellite NBN.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we cannot guarantee the speed and constant availability of WiFi or internet services at our advertised properties. Although we make every effort to ensure these services are set up and working well, there are times (particularly during peak season and school holidays) when the connection can be intermittent, slow or simply unavailable.

For many guests, dogs are not simply pets, they're part of the family. Home Break Gracetown is pet friendly.
