If the booking for accommodation and/or Experience is made through a third party, the terms and conditions of that third party also apply.

Pumphouse Point will endeavour to provide the accommodation but reserves the right to refuse requests for bookings or actual bookings.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your journey to Pumphouse Point, including domestic travel insurance with pandemic cover, to protect against any unforeseeable circumstances in the lead-up to your stay that might prevent you from getting to Pumphouse Point.

NATIONAL PARKS PASSES

The Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service requires that visitors obtain a Parks Pass when visiting Tasmania’s National Parks. As Pumphouse Point is located inside the National Park, all guests must obtain a Parks Pass before their visit to Pumphouse Point.

If you are planning on staying in Tasmania for a while, we would recommend purchasing the Tasmanian Holiday Pass. This is valid for two months for one vehicle with up to 8 passengers, and covers entry to all Tasmanian national parks, including Lake St Clair. This type of parks pass can be purchased at Pumphouse Point upon your arrival, or you can visit Tasmania Parks and Wildlife to purchase the correct pass for your travels.

EXPERIENCES

‘Experience’ includes any tours, transport services and activities made available through Pumphouse Point, whether by Pumphouse Point or by a third-party operator.

All Experiences are subject to availability, minimum participation requirements & prevailing weather conditions at the time of operation.

Pumphouse Point will endeavour to provide the Experience, or facilitate the third-party operator in providing the Experience, but reserves the right to refuse requests for bookings or actual bookings.

An Experience may be cancelled up to the time of departure if it is the opinion of the relevant third-party operator that the weather or any other conditions are such that it would be unsafe to conduct the Experience. A full refund of the value of the cancelled component of the Experience will be applicable in this event.

BOOKINGS

All accommodation and Experience bookings must be paid in full at the time of reservation by provision of credit card details.

A booking confirmation email must be obtained. If a booking confirmation email is not obtained, the booking is not confirmed.

It is the responsibility of guests to review the booking confirmation email and promptly advise Pumphouse Point if there are any errors or misunderstandings

By providing credit card details, guests warrant they have the authority to use the credit card and they authorise Pumphouse Point to charge the cost of their booking(s) to that credit card.

Where guests make bookings for Experiences during their stay, the Experience price will be charged to their room for full payment through the guaranteed credit card.

In the event Pumphouse Point or a third-party operator cancel an Experience booked by guests, all monies paid for that Experience booking will be refunded in full within 14 days of the date of cancellation.

The liability of Pumphouse Point arising from any cancellations of accommodation or Experiences by Pumphouse Point or a third-party operator is limited to the amount paid for the cancelled booking.

GROUP BOOKINGS

Where five or more rooms are booked, the booking will be treated as an Exclusive Use Booking and the organiser will be required to book all 19 rooms for a minimum of 2 or 3 nights (depending on check-in day) and be bound by the Exclusive Use Terms & Conditions.

All Exclusive Use requests must be made in writing directly to Pumphouse Point. Pumphouse Point reserves the right and full discretion to refuse Group Bookings  & Exclusive Use requests altogether. Exclusive Use Terms & Conditions will be supplied individually.

Following a stocktake of the in-room beverages after guests checkout, Pumphouse Point reserves the right to charge any items not paid for by the guest at the time of checkout to the guaranteed credit card for that room.

GIFT VOUCHERS

Gift Vouchers are non-refundable and subject to availability. All gift vouchers expire 36 months from the date of issue. Gift Vouchers are not transferable or redeemable for cash.

SNOW & BUSHFIRE POLICY

The location of Pumphouse Point is occasionally subject to heavy snow and surrounding areas can be prone to bushfires. On such occasions, these events can prevent guests from reaching or leaving Pumphouse Point because it would be unsafe to do so. Due to this, we recommend that all guests purchase appropriate travel insurance when visiting Pumphouse Point. By making a booking at Pumphouse Point you agree to the terms and conditions set out in the Pumphouse Point Snow & Bushfire Policy.

PUMPHOUSE POINT SNOW & BUSHFIRE POLICY.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety of all guests at Pumphouse Point.

1. If access to Pumphouse Point is officially cut off (as determined by Tasmania Police) and is still cut off at 12pm on the day you are due to arrive; your booking will be cancelled and you will receive a gift voucher for the full value of your cancelled booking.

1. If there is a snow or bushfire event, but access is not officially cut off by Tasmania Police at 12pm on the day of your arrival, you may proceed at your own risk and your booking will not be cancelled. No refund will be given if you choose to cancel your booking.

1. Where a road is officially cut off (as determined by Tasmania Police) but a reasonable alternative route is available; you may proceed at your own risk and your booking will not be cancelled. No refund will be given if you choose to cancel your booking.

1. If access is cut off (as determined by Tasmania Police) and you are prevented from leaving Pumphouse Point, you must pay for any additional accommodation at Pumphouse Point resulting from your prevented departure.

Your safety is very important to us. Any changes to bookings or access routes resulting from a snow event will be communicated to all guests with sufficient notice by the Pumphouse Point team via phone as a preference or any means practical after that.
