Room Allocation:

Due to the limited number of rooms, some combinations (eg king bed, extra bathroom, wheelchair access, etc) may not be available when you book. If this happens, we will do our best to rearrange the rooms with other clients but in some cases it may not be possible. In this circumstance, and at our discretion, we will refund you the difference in price for a lesser featured room or offer you an upgrade to a higher featured room.

Workshops:

Art at Heart will supply all materials and information required to participate in the art workshop activities. Art at Heart is not liable for any replacement, refund or repair or to pay for any damages or losses incurred to any equipment you are supplied with for the workshops to keep, unless otherwise required by the Australian Consumer Law (in which case our obligation will be limited to the remedies required of us under the applicable law).

Art at Heart is not liable for damage to luggage, possessions or persons. Please arrange your own travel insurance.
