Terms and Conditions
Conditions
Deposit
We require a booking deposit equivalent to 1 month's price for that given term to secure your reservation. This deposit will also act as your security damage deposit. Your security deposit will be refunded pending any loss or damages to the rental property or other violations. Any violations of the rental agreement and/or booking conditions may result in loss of the security damage deposit and in some cases may terminate the rental agreement and result in eviction.
Nature of Booking:
A booking provides the guest with a single fully furnished room with a Queen size bed. All other areas of the property are shared and need to be kept clean and clear of belongings. All belongings must be stored within the guest's room.
Final Payment
Once the booking is received and accepted, the Applicants are liable for payment of the balance of rent, 30 days before the start of the tenancy. Non-payment by the due date will be treated as a cancellation and a cancellation charge will be payable as listed below under Cancellation.
Cancellation
In the event of a cancellation by the Applicants, the refund amount will include all monies except the initial deposit as long as the cancellation date is 30 days prior to the agreed rental date.
Price Changes
The Owners reserve the right to amend prices quoted on the Web site due to errors or omissions.
Method of Payment
Payments may be made by email transfer.

Bookings eligibility is based upon the acceptance of Bliss Retreat. In any of these conditions, we reserve the right to make the final decision as to acceptance of the booking.
Tenants' Obligations
The Tenants agree:

Cleaning
Guests are expected to clean up after themselves in all areas of the property including kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor spaces, and common rooms.

Liability
The Owners do not accept liability for any act, neglect or default on the part of the Owners or any other person not within their employ or otherwise under their control, nor for any accident, damage, loss, injury, expense or inconvenience, whether to person or property, which the Tenants or any other person may suffer or incur arising out of, or in any way connected with the rental. In addition, the Owner accepts no liability for loss of or damage to the Tenants' possessions on the Owners' property or land.
Complaints
All complaints must be notified to the Owners immediately so that an on-the-spot investigation can be made if necessary and remedial action taken if required. In no circumstances will compensation be made for complaints raised after the tenancy has ended when the Tenant has denied the Owners or the Owners the opportunity of investigating the complaint and endeavoring to put matters right during the tenancy.
