Cancellation Policy on all bookings

I cannot stress enough. Please read your booking terms and conditions when you confirm your booking with us. When you pay your deposit you agree to the booking terms.

Should you wish to cancel your booking the following occurs:

  • If within 28 days of booking dates your forfeit all funds paid as we are usually unable to fill the booking dates at short notice.
  • At the discretion of the home owner, they MAY agree to transfer your booking to another date in their house only. They are under no obligation to do so however.
  • If cancelled well before the 28 day prior to booking date, then the owners (at their discretion) MAY agree to refund your deposit. They are under no obligation to do so.
  • Should we mutually agree to cancel a booking due to unforeseen circumstances such as flood, cyclone, fires etc then of course all funds will be returned in full to you.

Also note that should you be evicted from your property due to antisocial behavour,  you also forfeit all funds paid.

Please read the Booking Terms and Conditions they are there for a reason. NRH BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS March 2012

 


Holiday Items for Hire from Ningaloo Reef Holidays

We are starting to get enquiries from our guests regarding where they can hire holiday items such as bikes, esky’s, sun umbrellas and shelters, fishing rods etc. So we have decided that we will stock those items and rent them to our holiday guests.

We are just building our stock so would love your feedback on what you think we should offer. Currently we are able to offer you a selection of eskys, beach umrellas and shelters, we have a few extra push bikes on offer, and of course we have baby cots and high chairs for your holiday house.

Great rates for our guests at Ningaloo Reef Holidays, but anyone can rent from us. It just makes the holiday easier when we have less to lug up in the car. Give me a call or email for very reasonable rates on offer. Also would appreciate your feedback on what is needed.

Last minute accommodation in Exmouth

We love late bookings in our holiday homes in Exmouth. There are great bargains to be had. Not always the best idea to simply arrive into town to then look for accommodation, but very often we can easily put you up last minute in one of our great holiday homes.

Today I got an email at 7am from a Bunbury couple and their wee highland terrier, looking for 4 nights accommodation. Driftwood was available which is also pet friendly. They swung by the office at 13 Griffiths Way, I took their full payment, they followed me over to the house, and they are now out fishing from Bundegi Boat Ramp. Very simple process.

So whilst I dont recommend that you try this during school holidays or peak times, you can sometimes jag a last minute holiday house in Exmouth…with ease through Ningaloo Reef Holidays.


Short Term Accommodation in Exmouth

All our holiday homes in Exmouth are subject to minimum night stays. Each owner decides what they feel is appropriate to their home and their requirements.  None of our homes have minimum night stay requirements of under 3 nights.

Homes accepting 3 nights or more – Coral, Turtle and Marlin

Homes accepting 4 nights or more – Amberjack, Frangipani, Driftwood, Oyster, Jurabi, Tusk.

Homes accepting 5 nights or more – Mandu Villa

Homes accepting 7 nights or more – Cobia and Seabird.

Please note that on the cheaper homes there is a loading for shorter night stays to cover the costs of the cleaning of the home (which is the same cost regardless of whether you stay 14 nights or 3 nights.) Remember these are houses the same size as a full home, they are not hotel rooms, so they take time to clean in between guests, hence the additional costs.

We cannot accept one or two night bookings due to the low tariffs we charge and the high costs to maintain a home.

 


How to beat the heat in Exmouth.

Ok, so we are now in the swing of summer. Here are my tips for you.

  • make it part of your habit. Do not leave the house without a water bottle and sip water regularly all day. You will sweat much more than usual and wont even notice it.
  • It obvious, but put a hat on as soon as you walk out the door, apart from the obvious sun implications, you will dehydrate from your scalp and you need to keep this as cool as possible.
  • Ankles swelling? Raise them at night, eat less salty foods, drink less alcohol and go for a walk in the ocean.
  • Eat foods high in water content like watermelon and salads.
  • If it is very hot in town, it will be much cooler on the other side of the peninsula. Head out of town and hit the beach.
  • Get in the water and cool down. Pack water, pack a hat, pack sunscreen, put on a rashie, set up a sunshade, get into the water. Cool your body temperature down immediately.
  • All too hard? The town pool is always there for a quick dip. Or even getting wet at any one of the Gulf beaches will do the trick, the water is much warmer than the beaches on the other side, but you are at least wet!
  • Use your airconditioners wisely. They are very efficient and will cool down the house quickly. I beg you not to leave them on all day and go out. It’s a waste of power and money and completely unnecessary. All it will do is raise the tariffs for next time as the owners get their power bills.  Please consider this.

The New Frangipani is now available -July School Holidays

Just a quick note to let you know that our not yet listed Frangipani (a new one! Not the one on Stokes Hughes st) is available for bookings and I still have week two of the July School Holiday available.

Three bedrooms and sleeping 5-6 maximum. Clean, loved and surrounded by gardens. Situated opposite a park, plenty of parking, cute as a button.

Only $150 a night. That’s cheaper than a campsite chalet or a motel room in Exmouth.

I have lots of photos but here is one to tempt you.

Some new homes joining us soon.

Our holiday home portfolio is ever changing and we sadly farewell Frangipani and Ocean Breeze.

Frangipani is on the market for sale and she is a little ripper of a house. She may be only one bedroom but she has plenty of space and if you are looking for a nice investment check out www.exmouthrealestate.com.au and ask for Leiza.

Ocean Breeze’s owners are ‘living the dream’ and they are moving to town in late May, we are very happy for them if not a little jealous!

But fear not as we will have some more properties to offer you very soon so watch this space! One home will even be ready for bookings in July…our only home still available for the July School Holidays.

Book now!

Want to take your dog on holiday with you?

Some of our lovely owners are dog owners and dog lovers also. They are happy for you to stay in their house with your pet…but there are conditions!!

* Do not leave the dog at home when you are out. It will only bark and the neighbours will get cranky and ring the Ranger. Not fair on the neighbours or the dog.
* Dogs are not allowed in the houses. The next guest may have allergies to pet hair, and the cleaners dont want to spend hours getting the place hair free. Just not allowed!
* If the dog gets out and runs amok around the streets and it picked up by the Ranger…you only have yourself to blame. Nothing to do with us or the owners.
* Dogs are not allowed in the Cape Range National Park but are welcome on most beaches other wise.
* Pick up all the doo doo before you leave and put in bags and put in bin. Not loose so that it can stink out the bins for the next guests.
* If the dog digs in the garden, you must rectify before you leave or we will charge you (at Exmouth rates!!) for a gardener to come in and replace plants and fix.
* Remember to give it more water than you usually do at home…it wont be used to the heat and will dehydrate just as easily as you will.

Look at Coral, Cobia and Marlin if you are interested in bringing your pet with you. All bookings are subject to the owners approval first…it’s not a given!
