TOOWOOMBA HOLIDAY RENTALS
Reservations for short-term holiday accommodation are accepted by SE Queensland Holiday Homes Pty Ltd Trading as Toowoomba Holiday Rentals (THR) ABN 72 626 901 657 of Toowoomba, QLD 4350 (“the Booking Agent”) as agent for the Owner of the Property and to which bookings the following terms and conditions shall apply.
Changes to Holiday Bookings
Where possible, THR will accept certain changes to a booking after a booking has been confirmed with a deposit. Changes such as moving from one property to another after the final payment has been made will only be possible under exceptional circumstances. In such cases and administration fee of $50.00 may be charged.
Cancellations & Prepayment
Guest will be charged a deposit of 20% at the time of booking, with the balance due 2 weeks before arrival.
Guests who cancel at least 14 days before check-in will be refunded 100% of the amount that they have paid.
Guests who cancel less than 14 days before check-in will be offered a refund subject to our ability to re book the house.
It may also be possible to change the date of the booking, rather than cancelling, subject to availability.
The Booking Agent recommends that the Guest takes out comprehensive holiday cancellation and protection insurance with a reputable insurance company to cater for any unforeseen circumstances which may arise including accident, ill health or any other matters beyond the Guest’s reasonable control, as once the booking is within the 14 days of arrival the Guest will be responsible for payment of the full rental whether or not occupation of the Property occurs.
Rental
The Guest acknowledges that the Booking Agent acts as a booking agent for the Owner only and not as a principal. The contract for accommodation shall not be effective until the Booking agent sends the Guest written confirmation of the booking (via email). The rental contract is between the Guest and the Owner of the Property for which the accommodation booking is made and is subject to the terms and conditions herein.
Booking Confirmation
Once a Guest’s booking has been confirmed, the Guest shall be responsible for payment of the total price for the rental period and all extras (if any) as shown on the confirmation notice email on or before the date or dates referred to in such notice.
Deposit
The Booking Agent will not confirm the accommodation booking until the Guest’s deposit payment is received and cleared. If the accommodation booking is made within 14 days of the date of commencement of the Guest’s proposed holiday, the full rental payable for the Property is required, together with credit card information for the $300 Security Bond. The deposit is calculated at 20% of the full booking fee.
Final Payment
The full amount payable in respect of the Property rental shall be paid at least 14 days prior to the date of commencement of the booking. If the full payment has not been received by the Booking Agent at least 14 days prior to the start of the rental period, then the Booking Agent and the Owner reserve the right to cancel the booking without notice and the Guest will forfeit the Guest’s deposit which will be non-refundable in such circumstances.
Security Bond
At the time of the final payment, authorisation for a Security Bond of $300 will be required via credit card. The credit card will not be processed unless there has been damage or a requirement for extraordinary cleaning.
Payment
Credit cards accepted include:
Visa, Mastercard

The Guest shall be liable for any extra cleaning, excess linen and towel usage, breakages or damage caused to the Property or any part thereof of any of the chattels therein that may occur during the Guest’s occupation of the Property and all costs for extra cleaning, repair and replacement thereof shall be payable to the Booking Agent or the Owner from the Guest Security Bond.

Guest’s Property
All personal belongings, baggage, vehicles and the property of the Guest of any description shall be the risk of the Guest at all times and neither the Booking Agent nor the Owner accepts any responsibility for any loss or damage thereto.
Guest Numbers
The Guest may only allow the Property to be occupied by the number of persons nominated in the Guest’s booking application and under no circumstances shall the number of people occupying the Property be greater than that appearing on the Guest’s application or the booking confirmation, whichever is the lesser. The Booking Agent and Owner reserve the right to refuse occupation of the Property to the Guest if the condition on the number of people intended to occupy the Property is not observed.

However it is a requirement that no more beds are used than the number of guests on the booking application unless prior approval has been sought and may be subject to additional fees for the laundering of linen. Council regulations allow holiday homes to be rented for accommodation purposes only and not as a function venue e.g. for a wedding or party. Functions and gatherings are not permitted and, if evidenced, may be closed down immediately and result in the security bond forfeited in full.

Description of the Property

Should any events whatsoever arise beyond the reasonable control of the Booking Agent which render the Property uninhabitable (for example flood, fire, storm, tempest, etc.) or the property becomes for sale or is sold by the Owner, then the Booking Agent may have to cancel the Guest’s booking for the Property. Should such circumstances arise then the Booking Agent will endeavour to relocate the Guest to a holiday home of a similar standard to the property, in the same area. Where this is not possible, the Booking Agent will refund all monies paid by the Guest in respect of the Property. Upon refund of the monies paid, the guest shall have no further claims whatsoever against the Owner of the Property or the Booking Agent.
