Due to rising crime levels in Broome, several crime prevention measures have been introduced, including the installation of a CCTV camera at the front entrance portico. Our purpose is to ensure CCTV use complies with privacy and legal requirements.

Guidelines:

• CCTV cameras are installed in open public areas (not in units).
• Signage at the resort entrance informs guests of CCTV operations.
• Recordings focus on public safety, security, and crime prevention.
• Access to recordings is limited to authorized staff and provided to police for reported crimes.

For detailed guidelines, please refer to the full CCTV Policy Document.

Installation of Cameras

• Signage at the resort entrance.
• Transparency about public area recording only.
• Secure storage of recordings.

Recordings

Used for security, crime prevention, and operational purposes.

Overwritten every 30 days unless required for investigations.

Access

Managed exclusively by the Manager, with strict controls on sharing.

This policy was approved by Habitat Beach Resort Strata Company Council of Owners on 09 January 2024.

To confirm a booking at Habitat Resort Broome, a valid credit card is required, with a deposit equivalent to one night's stay payable at the time of booking. Guests can cancel free of charge up to 14 days before arrival, and deposits will be fully refunded. However, cancellations made within 14 days of the arrival date will result in the deposit being non-refundable. Non-Refundable bookings are charged in full at the time of reservation, and no refunds will be provided for no-shows or changes of mind. In the event of COVID-related travel restrictions preventing travel, a full refund of all monies paid will be issued.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances.

The resort will hold any items left behind by guests for a period of up to 30 days. If unclaimed within this time, the items may be donated or disposed of responsibly. Guests are encouraged to contact the resort to arrange for the retrieval or shipping of their lost belongings, with any shipping costs to be covered by the guest.

To maintain a peaceful and restful environment for all guests, quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM. Excessive noise or disruptive behavior during this time may result in eviction without a refund. Guests are encouraged to respect the tranquil atmosphere of the resort throughout their stay and respect other guests.

Guests are expected to take responsibility for the conduct of their group during their stay. Any damage to resort property caused by guests will be charged to their account. Smoking is strictly prohibited inside accommodation units, and guests are encouraged to use the designated smoking areas provided.  A cleaning charge of $200 will be levied if guests smoke inside the units
