Fur Buddies
We welcome your four-legged, well-behaved and toilet trained canine friend by prior arrangement. Your pet is not permitted on the furniture or to be left unattended in the cottage. Any evidence, inside or outside, that your fur buddy has been in residence (odour, fur on furnishings, waste, stains, damage etc) may attract an additional cleaning fee.

Extra Charges
Cleaning
We will always look to be reasonable but we reserve the right to apply additional charges for extra cleaning at $50 per hour if furniture has been moved and not replaced, dishes are not thoroughly cleaned, dry and replaced, soft furnishings have been damaged or stained and need replacement or steam cleaning or the accommodation is generally not in the state you found it in.
Smoking (and other odours)
Sarah’s Cottage is smoke free indoors. However, guests can smoke on the covered verandas outside where ashtrays are provided. An additional cleaning fee of $100 will be applied if the cottage smells of cigarette smoke, fur kids or strong foods such as curry or seafood.
