Our Pet Friendly Policy Additional Fee: $10 per pet, per day We are proud to welcome well behaved and socialised dogs. While we do sometimes permit large dogs (one only), we do not permit dogs that are registered as a dangerous breed. If you wish to bring a dog for your visit, we need to know before you book whether you will be working during your visit and, if so, whether your intention is to leave your dog in the apartment or the apartment’s courtyard whilst you are away working. We generally will not agree to guests that leave dogs alone for long hours whilst they are at work, as we find the sounds of lonely and/or distressed dogs upsetting (as we live on the premises). If you do need to leave your dog alone in the apartment, please confirm that your dog will not be noisy if left alone. We ask that guests bringing their dogs please follow these simple rules: •Dogs MUST be house trained, quiet and well behaved •Must be taken off premises for pet waste. Owners responsible for pet waste. •Any repairs required due to pet damage will be at the owners expense. •Any evidence of dogs in these areas will incur an additional cleaning fee equal to one night’s accommodation. •When walking through the shared side-way of the property, your dog must be kept on a leash at all times. •Any disturbances such as barking, are to be kept to an absolute minimum to ensure that the owners are not inconvenienced and upset by the distressed sounds of your dog •Provide own dog bedding •Provide own dog or cat bowl •The owner reserves the right to cancel the booking if any of the above rules are breached.
