HOLIDAY HOMES

Care Deposit
Your $50 care deposit may only be applied to one booking at any one time -if you book two houses you need to pay two care deposits, - if you make a second booking before your previous care deposit is due for refund you need to pay a separate care deposit for the second booking.

Reciprocal Arrangements
Our arrangements with the Police and the Army have been working very well both for our members and theirs. (Police and Army personnel cannot go into our ballots but once our ballots have been completed then the homes are available on a first come first served basis.)
NB When you ring to make a booking in a Police home they will tell you that confirmation of membership is required - just ring us at the office and we will fax them the confirmation.
We are currently in discussions with the Navy and the Air force to come to a reciprocal arrangement for our members to be able to use their holiday homes. Any agreement may be some time off though, as the Defence forces are reviewing their homes procedures.
