Notes
Code of Conduct: Payment for the booking warrants you and all guests staying will abide by the Code of Conduct for Short Term Rental Accommodation which can be viewed under the Guest Information tab on our website or a link which will be sent to you in your booking confirmation email.

Noise at Properties: NSW Planning has passed laws that affect guests. The Code of Conduct for holiday renting can be found on our website under the Guest Information tab. In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties. This means guests have to be very mindful of noise made in or outside the property that can disrupt neighbours at any time of the day. If you or any other guest receives a warning regarding excess noise or excess guests, you may be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund of monies. Noise audible outside the property is prohibited.

Privacy: This property is a holiday rental, it is not a principal place of residence and there are no shared rooms. Enjoy your time in comfort and privacy.
Terms and Conditions: Detailed T&Cs apply for this property and payment warrants your agreement and that of all other guests staying at the property with you. Please share the T&Cs with your other guests.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Additional Guests: The guest limits apply at all times during the booking. Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay. Only the guests staying at the property are permitted to be present. If you wish to have visitors in addition to booked guests, you must advise us in writing prior to your stay and ensure you receive written permission. This is not possible at all properties.

No Extras: This property is approved for accommodation only. No mattresses, tents, caravans or more cars than the property accommodates are allowed. Under no circumstances are the following activities permitted at any of our properties: motorbikes, dirt bikes, quad bikes, use of firearms or air rifles, fireworks.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station. Charging electric vehicles without proper infrastructure poses a fire hazard, and in the unfortunate event of an incident, insurance cover may be compromised, and the guest held liable. If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

Long Stay Discounts: Out of peak season stays of a week or more may qualify for a discount, please send us a message.

Property Information: Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office 24/7.

Security Deposit: For most bookings, completion of our registration process and a valid credit card with a $1000 available limit is sufficient for the security deposit. For medium-term bookings (21-40 nights) and long-term bookings (41-90 nights), a non-negotiable cash security deposit is required. This deposit, held in our Trust Account, is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted. The minimum cash deposit is $2000, with higher amounts for larger or more expensive properties, or at the owner’s/agent’s discretion.

Peace of Mind: For your added security, this property is managed by a Licensed Real Estate Agent. We will never request payments be made to an overseas bank account and your money is held safely in our Trust Account until after your departure.

List with Us: If we had more properties in our management portfolio, we could easily get them booked. Demand is high and supply just can’t keep up. Send us a message or call us if you would like to know more about the packages we offer for short term rental management.

Great location, large, cute house
Walking distance to town, large house to accomodate a big group, great backyard to enjoy outdoor living, beautiful bath tub, lots of indoor living space, central heating/fireplace is also great. Only concern was traffic/Train noise and we were charged a merchant fee by stayz when you pay with a debit card which we had not factored into the cost when splitting it up. Otherwise we had a lovely stay

Bowral 2night stay
At first impression it had a cozy feel and a great backyard for dogs and family to enjoy. Location is great, in walking distance to Bowral’s centre although across the road from train line which might bother some people. Decor is a little tired, beds squeak lounges are uncomfortable, plates and glasses not matching, no bathroom upstairs. For 2 nights at premium price we felt a little let down giving it was a 80th birthday gift.

Big house.
The house is big and sleeps lot which suited us, so it’s good if you just need somewhere to sleep. I’ve never in 30 years stated anywhere that check in is 4:00pm and check out is 10am, and requests for an earlier check in were ignored. But luckily I received texts to ensure we kept quiet as soon as we arrived and a reminder the day before to check out by 10am. And then an email the day before to say we could extend our stay. It’s on a busy road, the kitchen crockery is awful and the garden wasn’t dog proof.

Family get together
The house had good space for our group of 10 with plenty of room for dinner around the main table. The town centre is a 10 min walk and the property has good heating - yes we needed the heater in December! However, the train line is across the road and I did not realise how many trains run through Bowral all night! The road is the main road into Bowral but it does get quieter at night. In saying that, we all enjoyed our stay and were quite comfortable and the kitchen living and back garden are delightful.

This is a very welcoming property, cheerful, clean and cosy. The six bedrooms were ideal for our large family, as well as the large back yard. We survived without wifi and the noise from the traffic and rail line didn’t bother us at all. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Nice place, not so nice location
The property was suitable for the 12 visitors (6 couples). Close to the main shopping area (walking distance), however was on the main road near the Railway line. Lots of vehicle and train movements so a bit noisy at times. The small fridge in the gym room at the rear of the property did not work, and was very dirty (mould on the seals). The fireplace in the main lounge room was working nicely for the first couple of nights, but then kept cutting out in night 3 & 4 of our stay. Kitchen and sitting areas were well presented, as were the bedrooms.

Great place for family gathering !!
Lots of space for our extended family to spend time together, with separate sitting areas, yet still connected to the group. Places to set up a variety of board games, enclosed garden for the children to have an Easter egg hunt & play. BBQ outdoor space well provided for as a space to sit for meals during the day.The kitchen, well equipped and the hub of the family gathering. So close to town for supplies as needed and for walks around the area. Plenty of hot water for our 16 guests. Good shoulder for parking on the opposite side of the road for extra cars. Presents even better than the website showed. No one disappointed with the facility. Thank you !

Beautifully presented and soooo comfy...
We've just had the most wonderful stay at Plum Tree Cottage. Everything was superb...a true tribute to the owners/people who look after this rental. It was without a doubt the cleanest and generally best presented property I've ever stayed in....everyone in our group felt the same..and many of us have stayed in many properties both in Australia and overseas..
