About the Website

The Website is operated by Furnished Properties Pty Ltd ABN 54 105 190 636 (Furnished Properties, FP, we, us or our). As the provider of the Website, FP manages all Listings and acts as an agent between Hosts and Guests (Services). 

These terms and conditions (Terms) apply to all our services directly or indirectly made available online, through any mobile device, by email or by telephone and are a binding legal agreement between you (you, user, Guest, Host) and Furnished Properties that govern your use of the Website.

By accessing, browsing or using our Website (through whatever platform or device), you acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below (including the privacy statement). 

FP reserves the right to review and change any of the Terms by updating this page at its sole discretion. When FP updates the Terms, it will use reasonable endeavours to provide you with notice of updates. Any changes to the Terms take immediate effect from the date of their publication.

  1. Enquiries and Reservations

    1. Searching

You can search for properties by using criteria like the location of the property, dates, and number of guests. You can also use filters to refine your search results. 

    1. Making Enquiries

In order to book a Reservation, you must first submit an enquiry by providing the following information:

      1. Your Full Name;

      2. Your Best Contact Number;

      3. Your email address;

      4. Your current location or address;

      5. Intended Arrival and Departure Dates; and

      6. Number of guests.

Our friendly team will then contact you to confirm and/or finalise your Reservation. You agree that submitting an enquiry does not give rise to a Reservation and that FP may offer you a Reservation in its absolute discretion.

Should FP progress your enquiry, and should you wish to make a booking, you will be required to enter into a further agreement outlining the conditions of your Reservation between the Host and yourself.

You warrant that any information that you provide to FP in the course of completing an enquiry or making a booking will always be accurate, correct, and up to date.

    1. Reservations.

A Reservation is a limited license to enter, occupy, and use the Accommodation in accordance with these Terms and any other agreement between yourself and FP.

FP retains the right to re-enter the Accommodation during your stay, to the extent: 

      1. it is reasonably necessary,

      2. permitted by your contract with the Host, and

      3. consistent with applicable law.

If you stay past checkout, FP has the right to make you leave in a manner consistent with applicable law, including by imposing reasonable overstay penalties. 

You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed Guests.

  1. Booking Modifications, Cancellations and Refunds

    1. Booking Modifications

Booking modifications may only be made by contacting FP directly. You agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any booking modification.

    1. Booking Cancellation and Refunds

In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the applicable cancellation policy.

Stay under 28 nights:

  • Full refund for cancellations made within 48 hours of booking, if the check-in date is at least 14 days away

  • 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in,

  • No refunds for cancellations made in 7 days before check-in.

Stay 28 nights or longer: 

  • Full refund if cancelled within 48 hours of booking and at least 28 days before check-in.

  • After that, the deposit is non-refundable.

  • If cancel or shorten the booking after check in, 3 weeks notice is required (only applies on 2 months stay or longer)

However, in certain circumstances, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you.

  1. Fees and Payment

Where the option is given to you, you may make payment by way of:

      1. Electronic Funds Transfer (ETF) into our nominated bank account;

      2. Credit Card Payment (Credit Card);

      3. PayPal (PayPal);

      4. Cash (Cash); and/or

      5. Cheque (Cheque).

You acknowledge and agree that where a request for payment is returned or denied, for whatever reason, by your financial institution or is unpaid by you for any other reason, then you are liable for any costs, including banking fees and charges.

FP reserves the right to change the service fees at any time, and will provide users notice of any fee changes before they become effective. Fee changes will not affect bookings made prior to the effective date of the fee change.
