Other Things to Note:
Prickly Pear Stays Ranclaud St, is a new property to our collection and is currently undergoing renovation works scheduled to end October 2025. Whilst we are excited about the improvements being made to enhance your future stays, we understand that this may cause some inconvenience during your upcoming visit. Works are from Monday to Friday from 7am till 4pm, with construction noise being kept to a minimum. Your apartment is newly renovated and fitted out, we trust that you will enjoy it and have a great stay with us.
Prior to your arrival, our online check-in process consists of two steps: first, you complete a check-in form; second, our system processes a $200 pre-authorisation on your credit card. This hold is solely to secure funds for any additional charges that may be incurred, such as damages or incidental expenses. If no extra charges occur, the hold will be released after your stay.
We also require photo identification prior to arrival that must match the reservation name. More details can be found in our terms and conditions.
Guests are provided with one complimentary set of linen and towels, along with some basic amenities upon check-in. Should you require any top-ups or replenishments during your stay, these are available for an additional cost.
Please note that routine cleaning is not included during your stay. However, if you would like to arrange a service clean, we’d be happy to assist—just reach out to schedule it for an additional fee.
