CANCELLATIONS
We understand that sometimes things happen that are beyond your control where you may need to cancel your reservation with us and, whilst we will endeavour to work towards a solution that is satisfactory for both yourself and our property owner, we have strict Seasonal Cancellation Deadlines which are applicable. We, therefore, recommend that you take out Travel Insurance to cover unexpected illness, accidents, weather events, natural disasters or other unforeseen circumstances.

COVID-19 pandemic
We understand that circumstances can change rapidly. If you have an existing booking with us, arriving within the next 14 days and you can no longer travel due to restrictions that have been applied by any State Government, we will treat your Reservation as what is known as a Frustrated Contract - it is neither party’s fault and we will apply the ACCC consumer rules for frustrated contracts - We will either move or postpone your Reservation to a later date at no additional charge or issue a refund on the full amount paid, less a cancellation fee of 30% (ACCC rules, a “reasonable” cancellation fee.)
We will also issue a similar refund for the total nights not stayed if the Government brings in new restrictions that reduces the length of a current stay.
Cancellations will not be accepted based on travel warnings or advice only.

Please also note that, in circumstances that cancellation requests caused by restrictions applied to other events or businesses other than accommodation (sporting and social events, etc) occur, we may require proof that these restrictions are the reason for the cancellation request (i.e, copies of tickets or invitations with event date).
Please note that we cannot accept Bank Transfer payments for new reservations or final payments made within 6 days of arrival.
* Reservations made via third party on-line travel sites such as Airbnb, Booking.com, Stayz, etc., may incur cost recovery charges for booking fees and commissions charged by these sites. This is outside of Lakeshores' control.
