How to book / quotes and reservations
Lorosa Coast acts as an agent on behalf of hotels, resorts, property owners and property
managers who provide accommodation services. We do not own or manage properties. The
majority of properties in our portfolio are privately managed and check in is not through hotel
reception but through the offsite property manager which may require you to visit their office
for registration and key collection. Please keep this in mind if you are arriving by airport
coach transfer as you may need additional transport to the accommodation.
Quotes and reservations are subject to availability and actual pricing at the time of booking.
Quotes are valid for 48 hours however some prices are dynamic and change daily. Any verbal
or written quote given is an estimate only of the price, which will be subject to written advice
on confirmation of the reservation from your travel consultant.
We only accept reservation requests in writing and bookings will be confirmed via email,
hello@lorosacoast.com.au, or through an employee of the business with a personal company
email account.
Deposit
A minimum deposit of $200 per room (unless otherwise advised) must be received within 24
hours of making the booking. Payment of this deposit will indicate acceptance of these
booking conditions. This deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. For travel dates less
than 30 days ahead, bookings must be paid in full at the time of requesting a reservation.
Deposit amounts vary from property manager to property manager.

Confirmation and invoices are subject to re-issue if incorrect through error or omission and
the passenger accepts the liability to then pay the correct cost or to decline to retain the
reservation.
If a customer fails to pay monies when owed, Lorosa Coast and/or the property manager
reserves the right to deem this as a cancellation and cancel the booking without further
communication. Should this happen, the customer will forfeit his/her deposit to Lorosa Coast.
If an unpaid booking is cancelled within 30 days of the arrival date of the booking, or within
the specified non refundable period, Lorosa Coast reserves the right to pursue payment of
outstanding monies.
Payment options
Payments accepted include direct bank transfer and credit/debit card through a merchant
facility. A Credit card surcharge may be payable and this will be reflected at the time of
payment. Prices quoted are in AUD and all payments must be made in AUD. Some properties
or brands where the balance is due on arrival may also have a credit card surcharge for
balance payments.
Cancellations
If you choose to cancel or terminate your holiday earlier than expected and for whatever
reason, the following fees shall apply. Please note cancellation charges vary from property
manager to property manager and it is your responsibility to review both these terms and
conditions and any additional terms and conditions we send you at the time a reservation is
made.

termination will not be considered an amendment. Within 30 days prior to check-in –
amendments may not be accepted depending on the property or brand being booked and will
be based on the situation at the time and availability.
If a refund is due to the client after a cancellation, any money will be refunded to the client
after it has been received back from the supplier. This can sometimes take two weeks or
more.
Rates & changes
All rates featured are subject to change. Prices and conditions are correct at time of printing
but are subject to change without notice. Prices listed are in Australian Dollars and are
inclusive of GST where applicable.
All reservations do not include transport from your home port to holiday destination and
return, items of a personal nature, meals (unless specified), transfers and existing or proposed
taxes and government charges, unless otherwise indicated.
Any verbal quote given is an estimate only of price, which will be subject to a written advice
on confirmation of the reservation. The price of your holiday cannot be guaranteed until
confirmation payment is received. All prices and other payments and conditions should be
confirmed with your travel consultant at the time of booking.
Guests may be required to provide a credit card imprint on arrival to cover any miscellaneous
charges. Where a credit card is not available a cash deposit will be required. In addition, an
acceptable form of photographic identification will need to be produced at the resort prior to
check-in. This rule may also apply to privately managed apartments.
Accommodation
Whilst care is taken to ensure that the description of facilities and services of the
Resorts/Complexes are accurate, these are continually being changed, upgraded, and on
occasion taken out of service.
Lorosa Coast can not be held liable if an Apartment or Holiday House is taken out of service
for any reason including but not limited to being sold, changing property managers or
undergoing emergency or planned maintenance. If this should occur, our consultants will do
everything possible to assist with other options at the earliest possible opportunity. A
property manager reserves the right to move a booking from one apartment to another of
similar quality and facilities should the need arise due to any of the above reasons. Lorosa
Coast may not be advised of apartment number changes and cannot be held liable if a
property manager moves a booking to another apartment.
If any feature/facility is essential for the guest in choosing a particular property, it is
advisable that the guest checks this with their travel consultant at the time of booking. Lorosa
Coast cannot be held liable for omissions or errors, whether temporary or permanent of a
property’s facilities and services. Property room photos may not be specific to the actual
room allocated. Photos are indicative only. Accommodation facilities listed may not apply to
all room types.
If a customer arrives at the property and does not like the accommodation that he/she has
chosen, he/she will be liable for the full balance owed, unless it can be proven without a
reasonable doubt that he/she did not get what was promised on the Confirmation Form or
what was depicted on the website, with consideration to the following:-
The majority of properties are strata titled. This means that each apartment within the various
complexes is owned by a different person. Because of this, the furnishings in each apartment
can vary. On our website we have displayed photos of typical apartments. These are neither
the best apartments, nor the worst. The photos are used as a guide only, and neither Lorosa
Coast or the property manager can be held responsible if a particular apartment does not look
exactly like the photos on our websites. As strata titled apartments, they are subject to sale
and property management changes without notice. Although Lorosa Coast will endeavour to
move an existing booking should this occur, there may be times when this is not possible.
Should the property manager advise that the booking cannot be honoured and Lorosa Coast
can not provide an alternative apartment of the same standard or provide an alternative
property that is acceptable to the guests, we will provide a full refund for any money paid.
Lorosa Coast will not be liable for the inconvenience or loss of any money for flights, car hire
or incidentals should accommodation need to be cancelled. A confirmed booking does not
preclude circumstances where an apartment/house becomes unavailable or a property
manager withdraws a reservation confirmation. The customer agrees that the accommodation
is booked only for the number of people actually stated on the Confirmation. Any additional
people will be charged for at the applicable property nightly rate.
Children and Infants
In most cases, children’s prices for accommodation featured on this site refer to children
occupying the same room/unit with at least one adult and using existing bedding. Additional
charges will apply if extra beds or linen (including rollaways, sofa beds or cots) are required.
Prices for any other combination of children and adults should be obtained from your travel
consultant. The definition of a ‘child’ or ‘ínfant’ is determined by the property/owner and ages
may vary. It is important that you disclose the accurate number of people who will stay in the
property to avoid additional charges from the property manager.
Weather
Please review the local weather average for your trip dates. Far North Queensland is known
for its wet season, cyclone season and stinger season. These events are rare and the area is
still magnificent to visit throughout the year, however Lorosa Coast will not be responsible
for financial loss due to cancelled or delayed travel caused by weather events and
accommodation, tour and transfer balances will remain your responsibility. Please consider a
domestic travel insurance policy that includes these events.
Special requests
Whilst we attempt to satisfy all special requests, we are unable to provide a guarantee.
Please review special events around your dates of travel to ensure your stay is not interrupted
or disturbed. Note; The Cairns Ironman is held in early June. Australian school holiday dates
are available online in advance.
