Notes to note

We know we know, house rules are boring but hey they're important. Our rules are fairly stock standard but there's a few we've added from our past Host and Guest experiences.

Please note that check-in and check-out times are fairly firm as it allows our cleaning team to have the property ready for you and ready for the next guests in time. We do a thorough covid clean using virkon so the space is fresh and free from foreign germies.

We show you 100% respect and we do ask that the same is shown to us in return, we are in a business where things come up and we will do our best to assist you and rectify any issues asap. We're fairly chilled and laid back but do need our house rules to be adheared too.

Registered Guests Only
We need to know who's on our property for our covid, council and insurance requirements. Accommodation and property access is for registered guests only, we know, total bummer. You will be required to provide government issued ID within 24hrs of accepting the reservation and all guests will need to be identified and registered for covid, council and insurance purposes. Any unauthorized guests will incur a $149 fee per person per entry on property and all guests will be required to vacate the property.

Check-in / Check-out
➡️Check-in is from 4:00PM⬅️
⬅️Check-out is by 11:00AM➡️
No Exception To Check-In and Check-Out times unless discussed and approved with us in advance. We are a somewhat a well oiled machine and like to be as organized as we can. Late unauthorized check-out will incur a $200/hr fee billed at $50 per 15mins. This is yet to happen. Our guests are amazing.

Early Check-in / Late Check-out
Early check-in or late check-out can at times be arranged in advance. A $50 fee is required for either. This needs to be arranged and paid for in advance as special arrangements may need to be made. Please note that requests for early check-in on the day of check-in may not be available due to our schedule.

Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy is firm. Please make sure our property is the right fit for you.

No Parties or Gatherings
Boy do we love to parrrrrtay, but hey just not here. To adhear to local council, Air bnb and our insurance guidelines we DO NOT allow parties or gatherings (anyone not on the initial booking detail) onto the property. We know, total bummer. We are required to register all guests for covid, council and insurance purposes. We do have external video surveillance surrounding the property to help protect both us and our guests. Any parties or gatherings will be shut down immediately, a $5,000 fee + any legal fines and fees will be due and guests will need to vacate the property stat. This has not once occurred, our guests are just super. 👌

No Smoking / Vaping on property
Shmoke and a pancake..? Unfortunately NOT.
We want our guests to chillax in a smoke free environment plus we're not keen on putting out any fires anytime soon, the place is still so shiny and new. A $500 fee is set in place for anyone smoking, including vaping on the property. This has only ever occurred once.

No Pets
As much as we are fans of fur babies, due to allergies of guests and some of our staff we do not allow pets at The Atomic Hideaway. A $500 fee per night will be billed for pets bought onto and into the dwelling + any loss of booking time due to cleaning. Any commercial cleaning fees will also be required from guests.

No Glitter
I know I know. We love glitter as much as the next guy, its shiny, it sparkles, its shimmery and fun but it just takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to clean and get out and off of surfaces. Any glitter obstruction will incur a $500 fee + any loss of booking time for future guests due to cleaning. A commercial cleaning fee may also be required from guests. It's only happened the one time but it did happen so let's just leave that there.

Damages and Theft
Any damages, loss and theft will be billed to the guest and payment will be required and reported to Airbnb, and the PoPo if need be. We have cataloged every record, every book, every piece of artwork and decor, towels, linens and even silverware and crockery and check off before/after each guest. We love our space and have procured decor and goodies from all over the world to be admired. Replacement of items will be costly to guests, + 150% on top of the cost plus postage, and have you noticed the increase in postal fees of late, it stings the nostrils, stings.

No Business / Commercial Use
Property cannot be used for any unauthorised business or commercial (or if you say its personal but its not) activity without a formal written contract signed by both parties, The Atomic Hideaway and yourself, an added commercial fee and minimal 5 million legal liability insurance with The Atomic Hideaway listed as interested party on your liability insurance. For creative projects we rent by the hour (not the hanky panky kind), half day blocks, daily, weekly and more.
Any unauthorised use of the property in this or similar manner will incur a $5,000 fee + any additional legal costs and incurred losses including cleaning and booking cancellatios will be required of guests. Please reach out in relation to any commercial use. It's cheaper than the unauthorised use fee and alot less hassle.

No SW
Look we're progressive folks over here, we understand that SW is work but hey just not here. We will not have our space known as a SW location. Our insurance does not cover third party business activities which is why we can't allow unauthorised business/commercial activity. Our insurance and liability does not cover anybody that is not listed as a registered guest. SW is work thus violates our No Business/Commercial activity clause and our Registered Guests Only clause. Using our space for Unauthorised Business use including SW will bring with it a $5,000 fee + any legal fees + incurred losses including commercial cleaning fees and any future guest booking cancellations will be required of guest and guests/visitors/clients will be escorted from the property immediately with no refund.

Australia
The Atomic Hideaway is located on the East Coast of Australia. Newcastle NSW at times has flies, mosquito's, spiders, bugs, birds, you name it. Sometimes it rains and storms, sometimes it's sunny and sweltering hot. I bet you're thinking, geese, this all sounds pretty silly to announce, but it's now a thing that hosts are required to give forwarning of insects and even potential weather that may be on the property due to insane guest complaints (like they saw a fly on the property, c'mon guys). I did see a blue tongue lizard once too during construction of The Atomic Hideaway, thought it was a snake and juuuust about peed my pants. it was a real defining moment for me.

So this looks to be a lot but it's just common sense really but needs to be spelt out for the kids in the back. Any questions at all please reach on out via the Air BnB messenger and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
