Checkout Process

Before departure, all rubbish put in the appropriate rubbish bins provided outside the dome, and crockery and cutlery washed and packed away. The Property must be left in a clean and tidy condition. If the BBQ has been utilized please ensure it is thoroughly cleaned using the products provided. If it is left in an untidy manor a $50 cleaning fee will be charged to your credit card. All furniture and furnishings must be left in the position they were in when you arrived. The property should be vacated on time with all windows and doors closed.

Payment

You must pay the full amount of your stay before the booking will be confirmed. 

Security Bond

A credit card authorisation must be provided to Faraway Domes upon confirmation of your booking. Any damage loss or expense incurred by Faraway Domes will be charged against the credit card. Examples include but are not limited to any breakage, damage or excess cleaning requirements, or extra guests beyond those declared.

Smoking Restrictions

Smoking is not permitted inside the dome or within 3 metres to the dome structure. Breach of this condition may result in immediate termination and eviction. If there is evidence of smoking inside than an additional $300 fee will be charged to your credit card.

Visitors

Faraway Domes is a guests only property. The Dome has a maximum occupancy of 2 persons and we request that no visitors be brought or invited to the property unless by prior arrangement with management. Breach of this condition may result in immediate termination and eviction.

Unaccompanied Minors

A child who is staying without the accompaniment of a parent, guardian or adult over the age of eighteen (18-years) is considered as an unaccompanied minor. Unaccompanied minor/s are not permitted to stay at Faraway Domes for safety reasons, as our domes may have amenities and facilities which could be hazardous to minors staying alone. Faraway Domes cannot accept any responsibility for injury or death caused by an unsupervised minor staying in our domes, nor can we provide the service of supervising and caring for a minor during their stay.

Food & Beverages

Where guests purchase food or beverages prior/during their stay, the price will be charged to their dome for full payment through the guaranteed credit card.

Location

Faraway Domes is located on a rural, undeveloped area of land that is not staffed 24/7. As such you (the guest) acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain your own safety in and around our dome. You acknowledge that you are aware of the risks entailed in the remote rural environment (including but not limited to spiders, animal holes, snakes, hot summer temperatures, cold winter temperatures in winter, windy conditions, high escarpments) and the low-light environment at night.

Vehicles

While all efforts are made to keep the roads suitable for all-weather driving, no responsibility is taken for loss or damage to vehicles including but not limited to rocks or debris on the road, uneven surfaces, exposed rocks, wildlife or washed road surfaces.

You consent and authorise Faraway Domes to collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes of administering your booking and providing you with any services associated with your booking.

Faraway Domes will not provide or disclose any information you have provided to Faraway Domes to any person without your prior written consent, except to the extent required to administer your booking and providing you with any services associated with your booking.

Upon request and to the extent permitted or required by law, Faraway Domes will provide an individual with access to and/or the ability to correct their personal information held by Faraway Domes.

Indemnity and Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by the law, you agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless, Faraway Domes and its current and former officers, employees, contractors, sub-contractors/consultants (including their respective employees and contractors) and agents against, from and in respect of all expenses, costs, liabilities, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments and losses of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to consequential and economic losses, property loss/damage and damages for injury, including personal injury and death) arising out of, caused by, attributable to or resulting from your booking or your stay at the property except to the extent such expense, cost, liability, claim, action, proceeding, damage, judgment or loss arose out of, was caused by, attributable to or resulted from Faraway Domes’s negligence, wrongful act/omission or breach of these terms and conditions.

To the extent permitted by law the aggregate of Faraway Domes' liability to you is limited to an amount not exceeding the amount paid by you for your booking.

Each indemnity in these terms and conditions is a continuing and independent obligation and survives the termination or expiry of these terms and conditions.
