FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a cabin?
The weekly rental rate is $115 (includes GST). We also require two weeks' rent in advance.
Is there a security deposit/bond?
Yes, there is a refundable bond/deposit of $300 payment required before receiving your cabin. Once the cabin is returned in good condition, you'll get this back.
If you cancel your booking within 48 hours of the planned delivery date - we will withhold 25% of this security deposit/bond and refund the rest.
Delivery – how does it work?
There's a delivery and collection fee of $250 + GST each. For large 18m² cabins, delivery requires a hiab truck at $250 + GST per hour. If tricky access requires a hiab for smaller cabins, the same rate applies. It's your responsibility to provide a level surface/platform for the cabin.
Any hidden fees for cabin collection?
Nope! We like to keep things transparent.
