What if I lose my key?

Relaxaway keep master keys for security reasons. If you misplace your key during your stay, a surcharge of $75 inc gst will apply plus a call-out fee of $75+gst per hour. Because of security considerations failure to return keys may result in a charge to cover the changing of locks on the home.

Check-out is strictly 10:00am. Should you require a late check-out this must be arranged prior to your arrival.
