Our properties are thoroughly cleaned and maintained to the highest standards. However, as we are located in Australia, occasional encounters with insects such as ants, flies, or mosquitoes may occur, particularly if food is left out or doors/windows are left open. This is a natural part of the environment and does not constitute grounds for refunds or negative reviews. We provide insect deterrents where necessary, and guests are encouraged to take reasonable precautions.
