To request an Owner Booking, please complete the form below with your preferred dates and service options. Your submission will be sent directly to hello@otwayretreats.com.au. Our team will check availability and confirm the booking (subject to our standard terms). Once confirmed, you will receive a Hostaway notification of your booking.

Important: All owner bookings are subject to availability and the full Owner Booking Terms & Conditions listed further down. We recommend submitting requests well in advance (at least 9 months where possible).

Owner Booking Terms and Conditions

• Owner bookings are subject to availability and must be requested in advance.

• Any additional cleaning or reset requirements beyond the selected option may incur extra fees.

• If you select a No Linen Service, you are expected to use your own linen. If any professional linen provided in the property is used during your stay, linen fees will apply. Our cleaning team will note usage in their post-stay report, and you will be charged accordingly.

• Weekend Cleaning Fees: Weekend rates apply if a back-to-back clean is required on a weekend. Otway Retreats schedules all cleans on weekdays to avoid penalty rates unless a back-to-back booking makes this unavoidable.

• Advance Booking Requirement: To prevent guest reservations from conflicting with owner stays, owner bookings should be entered into our system at least nine months in advance. Late entry may lead to cancellation penalties and impact your ranking on platforms such as Airbnb.

• High Peak Season: All high-peak season bookings must be entered into our system by February 20th for the following high-peak period before guest reservations open.

• For further inquiries or special requests, please contact hello@otwayretreats.com.au.
