The owners of Teacosy Cottages are not responsible if the chosen holiday accommodation does not ‘meet’ the expectations of individual guests. Guests are reminded that these cottages provide dog friendly holidays and are not star rated. No refund will be given if guests decide to vacate the premises earlier than the planned departure date, because the accommodation does not ‘meet’ the expected style required. To reduce the risk of this happening please view all the photos and descriptions of the cottages on the website www.islandshed.com prior to your arrival.  Email chris@islandshed.com or phone 07 5465 5334 for any queries.

bullet

The owners of Teacosy Cottages will not be held responsible for failure of utilities and essential services as in electricity and water, nor appliances, should they cease to function. In these circumstances every attempt will be made by the owners of Teacosy Cottages to contact the appropriate authorities to report failures and/or repairs and have matters rectified as soon as is possible.  Immediate repairs may be beyond our control but will be rectified as soon as possible. No refund or discount will be made for unusable appliances awaiting repair. Holiday guests will agree for a Teacosy Cottage nominee to enter the rented premises to carry out any necessary repairs or maintenance.

‘Call outs’ identified as non urgent will incur a call out fee of $25.00

Guests are required to supply their own linen, blankets/doonas, pillow cases and are expected to use them.  The covers on the beds and pillows are for presentation purposes only and must not be used instead of the guest’s linen.

bullet

Telephones and broadband are not provided in the cottages and it is suggested that all guests have their own mobile phone. [The island has good Telstra coverage.]

bullet

SMOKING: is permitted outside the cottages but all butts must be collected, wrapped and placed in the garbage bin.

bullet

CLEANING: The cottages are cleaned by Teacosy Cleaners prior to arrival.  We ask that you leave the property in a clean and tidy condition prior to your departure time.

bullet

PETS: all clean and dry dogs are welcome inside and outside the cottages.  Wet, dirty dogs must remain outside until they are clean and dry.  Guests must take the necessary steps to ensure that all the carpets are looked after and that all pet hair is removed.

bullet

Both cottages are securely fenced for small to large dogs but owners must be aware that the Island has a tick problem and ensure that their dog[s] have up to date flea/tick protection. Teacosy Cottage owners will not be responsible for any illness or attack on owner’s dogs. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure the dogs are protected from snakes and a sensible management programme will not permit dogs to stray into long grass or into the ‘rain forest.’

bullet

INDEMNITY: you, the tenant, indemnify Teacosy Cottage owners against any liability which may attach to Teacosy Cottage accommodation as a result of damage, injury or loss being personal or proprietary suffered by any person where damage, injury or loss has been contributed to or caused by any act or occasion of the tenants.
