Late Arrivals
Please indicate on your registration form or notify the Registration Managers in writing if you will arrive at your hotel after 1800 hours, failure to do so may mean that your room will be released.

Check-in and Check-out times
Many international flights arrive into Australia in the early morning. For most hotels, Check-in time is 2.00pm and Check-out time is 11.00am. Should you wish to guarantee check-in before 2.00pm you will need to pre-book, and pay for the previous night. If you wish to guarantee a late checkout you will need to book for the next night. These additional nights can be booked at the time of making your reservation. If required please indicate on your registration form.

The hotel will hold on your credit card, until point of check out, all unpaid accommodation nights reserved plus a daily amount for incidental charges. If you will be settling your accommodation account by cash you will be asked to pre pay for your accommodation in full plus a cash deposit for incidentals. Should you not utilise any incidentals during your stay the cash deposit, for incidentals only, will be refunded to you by the hotel upon check out.

Please note the daily incidental charge may vary across the listed hotels. Should you wish to confirm the amount that will be held against your card prior to check in, please contact the hotel directly.

This is to cover any incidental charges incurred during your stay and all remaining unpaid room nights, regardless if your booking was guaranteed by a deposit to secure your booking.
