The following Guidelines help ensure the Guesthouse maintains its standards, ensuring your group stay is enjoyable time and time again!

Group Booking Guidelines
A GROUP BOOKING is considered a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of thirty (30) people, staying a minimum of two (2) nights. Group bookings for more than 30 will be considered in exceptional circumstances only. All GROUP BOOKINGS must be advised and confirmed in writing, and reservations will only be taken subject to availability. A final rooming list is due 14 days prior to arrival.

A GROUP BOOKING will only be considered if the character of the group fits the profile of our normal guest; and on the understanding that the group will not be permitted to dominate the experience of the other guests in the Guesthouse.

Normal published rates per room apply. Group booking incentives may apply subject to negotiation and availability. Group check-in is required by 8.00pm on the day of arrival; and check-out is by 10.00am on day of departure, unless otherwise arranged with the Painted Turtle Guesthouse under special circumstance. Day storage is available if required.
