Q: What happens to my deposit if I need to cancel my booking?

CANCELLATION POLICY
Paradise Isles adopts the following practice when dealing with cancellation of a holiday booking.

HIGH SEASON
If the booking is cancelled 28 days or more prior to the planned date of arrival, there will be a full refund less an administration fee of $100.00 per apartment. If the booking is cancelled less than 28 days prior to the planned arrival date, there will be no refund unless and until the premises are re-let for the total period of the original booking.

An administration fee of $100.00 per apartment will be deducted from the deposit held before the remainder is refunded.

MID & LOW SEASON
If the booking is cancelled 14 days or more prior to the planned date of arrival, there will be a full refund less and administration fee of $100.00 per apartment.
If the booking is cancelled less than 14 days prior to the planned arrival date, there will be no refund unless and until the premises are re-let for the total period of the original booking.

An administration fee of $100.00 per apartment will be deducted from the deposit held before the remainder is refunded.

SHORT NOTICE BOOKING
Where a booking is made less than 14 days prior to the planned arrival date, there will be no refund unless and until the premises are re-let for the total period of the original booking.

An administration fee of $100.00 per apartment will be deducted from the deposit held before the remainder is refunded.

CONFIRMED BOOKING
A booking that has not been confirmed by a deposit being paid is not guaranteed. A deposit of $AUD250.00 per apartment will confirm a booking during mid and low seasons. A deposit of 50% of the total rental due or $AUD500.00 whichever is the lesser will confirm a booking in high season.

The balance of the tariff is due on arrival for low and mid season bookings and one month prior to arrival for high season bookings.

The administration fee covers the cost of processing the booking, receipting and banking the money, cancelling the booking from the system, drawing the refund cheque, mailing the refund cheque with a covering letter and meeting bank charges.
