  4. Minimum length stay
    1. A two-night minimum stay applies to all weekend bookings and single night stays apply at our discretion, and this may be increased (as set out on our Site and confirmed in the booking process) where your stay is during a period of high demand (for example, during school or public holidays).

You agree that you are liable for all costs arising from or in connection with any additional cleaning that is required as result of your stay (including where this is to meet government regulations), and any loss or damage that occurs to the Property, Tent or Facilities during your stay (including as a result of items provided to you for use during your stay, going missing).  
    4. If there has been damage caused to the Property, Tent or Facilities, additional or particularly intensive cleaning is required, or items are missing which need to be replaced, you authorise us to use as much of the Bond as is necessary to repair the damage or replace any such items.

  16. Our rules
    1. Conduct: You must ensure that you and Your Guests act in a responsible and lawful manner at all times and you must ensure that you, and Your Guests, comply with our directions and instructions while on the Property.  
    2. Children: All of Your Guests must be 7 years of age or older at the time of your stay. If you bring children onto the Property, you must ensure that they are supervised at all times while they are on the Property. 
    3. Facilities: Limited cooking facilities such as a small solar-powered fridge, stove and fire pit will be available for your use during your stay, subject to fire restrictions. Please note that while a fire ban applies, you will not be able to use any Facility that has or involves an open flame. Each Tent is accompanied by a toilet and standalone wash facilities, which you may, subject to water restrictions, make use of during your stay.
    4. Water restrictions: The Tents and Facilities are off the gird, so we ask that you strictly adhere to the following water restrictions. You will have a maximum of 250 litres of water available for your use during your stay (includes for taking baths/showers and doing any washing up). An additional 5L will be available for hand washing. Once this water has been used, you acknowledge that there will be no further access to water on the Property during your stay.   
    5. Electricity and use of appliances: Each Tent is solar powered and so the supply of electricity to the Tents is limited. You will not be able to plug in and/or recharge any of your own appliances or devices, with the exception of one mobile phone at a time. To make your stay more comfortable and reduce the need for you to bring items from home, we will provide items such as fully charged rechargeable speakers and tent-approved electric blankets for use during your stay. Please have a look at our Site and/or reach out to us if you would like to know more about the items that will be available.
    6. Moving and making alterations to the set up: Please do not move or change any part of the Property, Tent or Facilities. This includes moving the firepit to a different location and any other such changes.
    7. Third party services (photography, catering etc.): Unless expressly permitted by us, please do not invite onto the Property, for any amount of time during your stay, any third-party services (such as professional photographers and caterers). The stays are designed for small parties to enjoy a quiet and relaxing getaway and are not appropriate for hosting parties or events. If you would like to capture a special moment, we can offer you the services of a local professional photographer that we have partnered with. Please reach out to us if you would like to know more.
    8. Fires and fire bans: The Property may be located in a high-risk fire area and so it is your responsibility to make sure that any fire rules, regulations and bans are strictly complied with by you and Your Guests at all times during your stay. 
    9. Animals: The Property may be home to a number of animals, including both farm and wild animals. We ask that you exercise caution while on the Property and that you do not touch the animals or do anything that might antagonise or terrorise the animals. This is for your safety but also the wellbeing of those animals. When outside of your Tent in the evenings, please exercise particular caution.  
    10. Pets: No pets are allowed in the glamping sites or in the Bubbletent or Tiny Bubble Tent. 
    11. Medical conditions: When making a booking, you must let us know if you or any of Your Guests has a medical condition that might affect their ability to participate in an/or enjoy their stay.

    13. Smoking: Smoking is strictly prohibited in the Tents and everywhere on the Property. 
    14. Driving: When driving on the Property, you must abide by all Laws as if you were driving on a public road. You must only drive on the cleared access ways and park in the designated areas. Off road driving is strictly prohibited on the Property and the maximum speed limit anywhere on the Property is 5 kilometres per hour.
    15. Noise: Please be respectful and ensure that noise is kept to a reasonable level at all times during your stay. While the Property is fairly removed from neighbouring properties, other guests may be staying elsewhere on the Property and your noise levels should not disturb them or the animals (including the local wildlife). Please be aware that because there are animals and wildlife on the Property, you are likely to hear lots of animal sounds during your stay (for example roosters and other animals that like to wake up early or are awake during the night).     
  17. Removal and/or exclusion of guests
    1. We reserve the right to exclude or eject, without liability, any person from the Property, for all or part of their stay, where, in our opinion, person is drunk or under the influence of illegal drugs or is acting in a manner that is offensive, abusive, dangerous, violent or threatening, or in breach of this Agreement.
