BOOKING AND CANCELLATION POLICY
This document outlines Booking Policy for Abundant Life Center Campsite, ABN 43 997 694 876, (here-after known as the ‘ Horizon Campsite’) in order to comply with the Lessee terms contained in the lease with the City of Busselton and the Caravan Parks and Camping Ground Act (1997).
General Conditions
Use of the Horizon Campsite’s accommodation and facilities are subject to this booking policy.
In accordance with City of Busselton Lease requirements, persons or groups wishing to stay on Horizon Campsite may do so only if they are seeking short-term accommodation under one of the following categories:
(a) groups participating in organised educational, cultural, religious or recreational activities.
(b) financially disadvantaged persons who are otherwise not able to afford a holiday; or
(c) individuals or families requiring respite.
Horizon Campsite reserves the right to close the campsite and/or facilities at any time and as needed for operational or public safety reasons.
Horizon Campsite’s caretaker reserves the right to decline bookings to persons or groups who have previously been expelled from the premises as a result of their behaviour at the campsite.
Horizon Campsite’s caretaker reserves the right to decline bookings to groups or individuals that openly engage in activities that are in direct conflict with sound Christian belief and practice.
Emergency accommodation will be provided in agreement with the campsite's Emergency Accommodation Policy.
Bookings
A $50 deposit for individuals or $200 for group bookings is required in order to secure a booking at Horizon Campsite. Payment must be made no later than 7 days after the initial enquiry / booking. (The deposit amount is stated in the campsite’s Schedule of Fees, and is required for each site booked.)
All camping and/or accommodation fees are to be calculated on the basis of the length of stay, the number of persons staying, and the type of accommodation booked.
A security bond is required for all on-site vans and units. The bond amount will be refunded after the caretaker has conducted a final inspection and is satisfied with the final condition of the on-site van / unit / facility etc.
All campsite deposits, fees and tariffs for all accommodation types and facilities are listed in the Schedule of Fees.
Any visitors staying overnight will be regarded as occupants and will be charged at the appropriate ‘per person’ rate.
Pre-bookings will not be accepted more than 12 months in advance of the date of actual stay.
If a pre-booking is requested for “Peak” Season, the total fees must be paid in full 28 days prior to the actual stay. (Please see Schedule of Fees for definition of “Peak” Season)
Availability preference will be given to larger families (4+ persons) and groups for those wishing to stay in during “Peak” Season.
Standard check-in time is from 2.00 pm; standard check-out time is before 10.00 am
A late checkout must be in agreement with the camp caretaker(s) and may attract additional fees.
A maximum period of 3 months may be booked for any type of accommodation in conjunction with various “short term accommodation” definitions. After this period the camper(s) must vacate the campsite for a period of 3 months before being eligible to stay on the campsite again. This ensures that the campsite does not become the primary place of residence.
Reservations can only be made for the length of stay that has been booked, and can only be extended if it is available.
Cancellations
If the required deposit is not received within 7 days from the date of making the reservation, the booking may be cancelled. However, the campsite caretaker(s) will make every attempt to contact the applicant prior to cancellation.
The required deposit is non-refundable if the cancellation is made within 28 days of the scheduled arrival.
The required deposit cannot be used for a subsequent booking and is non-transferrable unless there is a vacancy for the new date/s the client wishes to book.
Refunds will not be given for persons expelled from the campsite in accordance with the Campsite’s Rules and Conditions of Stay.
Refunds will not normally be given if the camper decides to cut short their reservation after it has been paid.
Refunds will not be given if you decide to check out early.
Refunds will not be given if the number of people changes, as it is reserved for the amount of people booked in at the time of booking. People may be added (only) if space allows.
