Villa Mérion

Planning your stay

A few details before you settle in

Choosing your stay

Will we have the whole house to ourselves?

Yes. Villa Mérion is exclusively yours. Your hosts live next door at Jacaranda House.

How many guests can stay?

Up to four guests in two queen bedrooms. An alternative sofa-bed arrangement requires prior agreement and does not increase the four-guest limit.

What is the minimum stay?

Two nights. Longer minimums may apply over Christmas, Easter and special periods; these are shown for your dates.

Is the property suitable for my access needs?

There are steps and gravel paths, and the bathroom was not designed for wheelchair or walker access. Please contact us before booking so we can discuss your needs and help you assess suitability.

Can I bring a pet?

Pets are not permitted. Assistance animals are welcome in accordance with applicable law.

Can we invite visitors or hold a celebration?

Villa Mérion is a private retreat for registered guests. Parties and events are not permitted. If you would like a visitor or service provider to join you, please arrange written approval with us beforehand.

Booking and payment

When is my booking confirmed and payment due?

Direct bookings require our approval and full payment on confirmation. Your stay is secured once we accept your request and receive payment. The total, including cleaning and mandatory charges, is shown before you submit a request or pay.

Is there a cleaning fee?

Yes. Direct bookings include a $120 cleaning fee in the total quoted for your dates. The booking screen shows accommodation and cleaning separately before you enter contact or payment details.

What happens if I need to cancel?

For direct bookings, cancellations at least 30 days before arrival receive a full refund. From seven to fewer than 30 days before arrival, the refund is 50%. Less than seven days before arrival, no refund applies under the cancellation policy. The cleaning fee follows the same percentages. Full details are in our Terms and Conditions. For Airbnb bookings, please refer to the policy shown with your reservation.

Is there a security bond?

Direct bookings have a $500 temporary card hold one day before arrival. We aim to release unused funds within two days of checkout following inspection; your bank may take longer. There is no separate Villa bond for Airbnb bookings.

Arrival and parking

What are the arrival and departure times?

Check-in is 3–5 pm; checkout is before 10 am. Different arrival times, early access and bag drop require our written agreement in advance and depend on availability.

Is parking available?

Yes. On-site uncovered driveway parking is available for two cars. The garage is private and is not included in your stay.

Can we charge an electric vehicle?

Yes. Villa Mérion has an EV charger available by prior arrangement. Please request charging at the time of booking so we can confirm arrangements for your stay.

Where can I find the terms and arrival information?

Read the direct-booking terms for full conditions and Your stay for practical guidance. Your address is sent on confirmation, with private entry details on arrival day.
