Hi Jane, I hope you all got back okay:) Just wanted to send you a pre written review for you. Feel free to add anything but just thought it might help you. Let me know if you need a hand to work out how to put it up but it pretty much takes you through the steps. X We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful little cottage that overlooks Launceston. It has been furnished and styled so well, in keeping with the period as well aseverything we needed, even down to a fire pit and a barbecue in the backyard. It is in the most ideal location, only an 8 to 10 minute walk to Cataract Gorge and a perfect base whilst holidaying in Tasmania. Communication with the host was fantastic and they were able to organise an early check-in for us. The check-in process was seamless and we would thoroughly recommend this great little cottage. Thank you MaisonNets

This place was everything we expected. Need to be aware that carparking is on a narrow street. Take lead on how the locals park their cars. Access to the laundry is down a path which is rather steep. There is access to a nice backyard with a BBQ for outside outings, but again, it is not suitable for elderly/disabled people. The shower is over a spa tub. Some people may find access a difficult maneuver. However, overall, we as a couple aged in our 78th year, were very comfortable and happy.

Great view, short drive to everything and close to local attractions. Hosts were caring and communicated well during a suburb wide blackout. Would definitely recommend this stay if you are ever visiting Launceston.

Before booking please understand it is a requirement that any damage and/or accidents, unintentional or otherwise are the responsibility of the guest and the guest will be required to meet these costs, small or large.

On arrival our Concierge will always show you through the property and can be on hand for your exit therefore if there are any concerns guests can raise them on the spot. See more about Check-in, check-out and Keys in clause 10 below. It is important that guests choose a property to suit their expectations whilst knowing ours, it is our expectation that our properties are used for holiday work or corporate purposes and that guests understand their responsibilities before booking. Of course if there are any questions, please ask and we will be more than happy to explain to ensure you experience your perfect getaway. We thank you and look forward to welcoming you soon! TERMS AND CONDITIONS: 1. Reservations/Bookings: Your booking confirms the agreement of our Terms and Conditions. The person who has made the booking must be the same person changing or cancelling the booking and coordinating payment via the booking platform. A booking will not be confirmed until we have received a booking confirmation from the booking platform. All transactions will be done in Australian dollars. 2. Guest numbers: See property information for maximum guest numbers, a full guest list must be provided and not to exceed the maximum number of guests allowed. 3. Rates: See property information on the calendar at the time of booking. 4. Security Bond: A security bond will be paid by the tenants and held by the booking platform until expiration of this Tenancy, Your bond will be forfeited on breach of this agreement, in addition to damages rectification, or will be kept after vacating the property until such point that the property is inspected and cleared of damage. In the event that repairs are to be made the bond will be kept indefinitely until such point as repairs can be assessed and made. The bond will be kept until the damage is resolved, at which point the money will either be in full or part refunded to the guest or in full or part paid to the owner of the property for the damage caused. Further payments may be required if there is loss or damage exceeding this amount. Agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of this agreement gives us permission to escalate any issues with the booking platform and, at the conclusion of your booking contract, direct monies to be paid to the owner of the property, less commissions, paid to our managing agent where applicable. Any bond claim will also be subject to a $50 per hour administration charge. 5. Guest Payment Terms & Cancellations: The guest pays the booking platform directly for their stay. Any alteration to the booking will also be made via the booking platform. 6. House Manager: The person making the booking will be designated as the house manager and will be nominated as the primary contact. The house manager must be 18 years of age or older, warrants that he/she is authorised to agree to this agreement on behalf of all occupants and takes full responsibility to ensure that all occupants (and any guests or invitees of such occupants) understand and agree to this agreement. A mobile phone number must be provided and be contactable when occupying the property 24/7 for security purposes. 7. Property Usage: The property is to be used for short- term residential accommodation (holiday letting) only. The property may not be used for any commercial purpose, wedding, party, gathering or any other function unless agreed upon prior to your booking. Also see clause 17 below. 8. Party Policy: Zero Tolerance NOTE: We follow best practice policies to ensure this property we showcase for short- term accommodation is safe, secure and protected – and not damaged. As this property is not in commercial areas Government regulators and local councils also have strict rules and requirements for holiday letting and will prosecute those who book properties for holiday/short term who don’t abide by the short term holiday letting regulations. Reasons such as: noise, disturbance, parties and overcrowding etc... We have fair yet strict guidelines also. We require an undertaking from guests who book for short term ‘accommodation only’ not to have parties, events or gatherings and give an assurance that the property rented is for the use of registered guests and for the use of those people. A day/evening visit/luncheon/dinner by a few friends is fine if confirmed with us in advance. 9. Party/Disturbance Procedures: In the event an unsolicited event/party ensues, then the procedure is as follows: Our concierge will phone first and if the issue is not resolved attend immediately (at your cost) and attempt to resolve the concern. If a resolution is not forthcoming they will request immediate eviction as per this agreement. If this is met with resistance the concierge are instructed to call private security (at your cost for a minimum of 4hrs for 2x Security Personal). Our private security team will secure the premises, safeguard from damage and remain indefinitely or until the property is secure (this is at the Security/Caretaker’s discretion). The police will also be called and if local council are alerted further fines to you may arise. By agreeing to these terms and Conditions you agree to this procedure and all costs being as set out in clause 17. As explained above, this costly, zero tolerance approach is necessary to protect our owner’s property. We are not unreasonable and encourage guests to talk to us if they are concerned – communication can solve anything. We know that 99.9% of our guests are respectful and responsible people who simply wish to unwind in comfort and enjoy their holiday – this is what we strive to provide. Please, if in doubt, talk to us as these measures are not designed to prevent our guests from the normal, relaxing use of a holiday home – only to prevent those who believe having a party is acceptable. 10. Check-In, Check-Out & Keys: Check-in is from 3pm onwards and check-out is 11am. Our property Guest Concierge will meet you at the property at your agreed time from 3pm onwards and hand over keys. We require your arrival time as the Concierge does not live on site. If we cannot meet you at the property, we will organize a way to hand you over the keys An additional $40 will be charged to your total if a check-in happens after 8pm. Late check-out will be accommodated when possible and charged at half-rate of the daily rate on the day of check-out. A $100 deduction will be charged with each concierge callout for key related issues. Additional charges might apply if we need to replace the keys. Please contact your concierge the day before your arrival to confirm your arrival time. Please note that concierge cannot authorise early check in as there may be a guest in the night before. Please contact the host if you require an early check in but fees may apply..An earlier check-in and late check- out is not available during the peak Christmas season. 11. Public holidays: We do charge an extra $50 per booking if a check-in and/or a check-out happens to fall on a public holiday. This minimal amount helps alleviate the extra loading rate we have to pay from our end for the concierge and the cleaners during a public holiday. Please note that this check-in fee is waived on our properties that have a key-box or key-pad available. 12. Telephone & Internet: Varies from property to property, please refer to property details in the online listing. We cannot guarantee phone or Internet coverage at any property. 13.

If additional extraordinary cleaning is required the cost will be charged against your security bond. We have provision for rubbish for the household bins, any additional rubbish can either be removed by the guest (our recommendation) or if additional extraordinary rubbish is left behind the guest concierge will organise for our contractor to collect and dispose, at the guest’s expense, the excess at a cost of $45 per bag. If you happen to be a guest staying during rubbish collection it is a guest’s responsibility to ensure the bins are available for council collection. Any questions please ask your friendly concierge. 16. Smoking & Pets: There is strictly no smoking inside the property. If we have indicated in the listing that we are a pet friendly property, then your pet is most welcome in the property. A pet surcharge will usually apply.

Please note: Our policy here must be extremely strict due to our responsibilities to our properties. If guests damage/break chattels or invite additional guests then we have little recourse as we must protect our property. We are not unreasonable by any means; therefore if you think your ideal weekend would meet expectations, not damage the house or cause any neighbourly grievances please talk to us first. 19. Guest Concierge: Our Guest Concierge will be of assistance for check-ins and is happy to offer advice at this time and by phone when required, however we kindly ask you to respect her/his time during the weekends and evenings unless it is an emergency. Other than as provided for in this agreement, the property is not serviced. Callouts for locked out incur a $100 fee plus the cost of the missing keys if applicable. If additional services are requested of the Concierge, please contact us. The Guest Concierge may assist in additional services as shown on our online profile at an extra charge. 20. House Rules: The property contains house rules (see our welcome folder in the house). Please read and observe these rules which are deemed to be incorporated in this agreement. 21. Please Note: A breach or indicated breach of any of the above conditions will permit us to cancel or amend a booking, refuse access or occupation or immediately terminate a tenancy. Refunds will not be paid on terminated tenancies and penalties may apply in the event of parties/events. All details must be filled out correctly and payment processed before the confirmation of booking. As the property is an individual house and not a hotel with staff where rooms can be swapped, we cannot offer alternative accommodation or a refund if the property is not to your individual taste. We encourage guests to choose their properties carefully and ask any questions you wish. We do not refund for problems such as, but not limited to, plumbing, electrical, television, wifi not working, light globes out or any appliances not working, blackouts etc. We will endeavour to fix all problems as soon as practically possible, but as these are entire properties occasionally a few maintenance issues may arise; fortunately most are easily fixed. It is therefore paramount you make your property selection carefully. Minor interior and exterior decorations change from time to time in order to maintain the property. Images on the website are not always an exact representation of the property as changes can and will occur to keep a property fresh. At times, our property is a working property and as such there may be workpeople on the grounds from time to time. We look forward to your visit and hope that you will have a memorable stay with us
