Founda Gardens FAQs

Booking & Check-In

Information about bookings, payments and check-in.

Q: What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in time is any time after 2pm and check-out is no later than 10am. If you require an extension on either of these times please enquire at reception.

Q: Do you require a security bond upon check-in?

All bookings require a $200 deposit to secure the booking. A pre-authorisation is also required which is simply a security deposit that temporarily reduces your credit card limit. It may be used to cover breakages, damage incurred during your stay or excessive cleaning charges in excess of normal cleaning. If you are utilising some of our pet friendly accommodation, a $500 pet security bond is required and is refunded within 7 days of check out, provided the apartment is left in a satisfactory condition.

Q: Is after hours check-in available?

Yes, an outdoor key safe is located on-site for all after hour check-ins. In order to utilise this service however, notice is required and a mobile number must be provided so that our staff can send you the access code on the day of your arrival. The balance of accommodation owing on your apartment will also be debited on acceptance of the keys so credit card details need to be provided at time of booking for this purpose. Accepting keys from the night safe is equivalent to signing the booking slip and agreeing to Founda Gardens terms and conditions.

Q: Can I have a late check-out?

Available on request should bookings permit.

Q: When do I have to pay a deposit?

Upon confirmation, a $200 deposit is required in order to secure the booking. This can be done over the phone or by direct transfer to the Founda Gardens account.
