There is no booking fee for making a reservation at a Club Apartment. However, cleaning fees may apply if you have already used your annual cleaning entitlement. More information about fees is contained in the fee section, section 7, of the PDS.
There are booking fees for making a reservation with Interval, which are outlined at section 3.8 of the PDS.
Bookings of Club Apartments using Première Points can be made for a single night, multiple nights, a full week period or longer. You must have paid your Application Monies and Club Fees in full and not be in arrears of your finance payments in order for the Member Services team to confirm your reservation, and in order to stay. For more detail about Club Fees, refer to section 7 of the PDS.
The number of Première Points required to stay at a Club Apartment depends on the season, length of the holiday, and the size of the apartment required. Using a High, Mid and Value Season structure, points are allocated based on usage patterns and expected demand at each property.
To work out how many Première Points you will need for a holiday you are planning, first refer to the Seasonal Calendar and Property Details chart in Figures C and E of the PDS, and determine:
Next, refer to the Points chart in Figures D or F of the PDS and determine:
For example: You want to stay at Turtle Beach Resort, Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast for 1 week during Mid Season in a two bedroom apartment. You will need 3,300 points for that week.
From time to time we may update the dates on which a High, Mid or Value Season starts or ends at a particular Club Resort. If we do this we will ensure that the change is balanced by a change elsewhere so that the number of points attributable to any one Club Resort will remain constant.
Club Apartments are located at 24 different Club Resorts across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. Details about the Club Apartments are set out in the Figures C,D,E and F of the PDS and in your property handbook.
You can cancel a confirmed booking at any time up to the check-in date, but you will have to pay the cancellation fee which is specified in the regulations, and you may also forfeit some or all of your Première Points used to make the booking, depending on how early you cancel your stay. All cancellations (including changes) of Première Points reservations at Club Property are subject to these cancellation rules.
The cancellation fee is currently AU$55. Fees will also apply to any changes in bookings. In addition the Première Points which are forfeited when you cancel are as follows: Figure-I-Cancellation.
If cancellations occur as a result of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a Member, in some cases, the Responsible Entity may waive the cancellation fee or Première Points forfeiture. This is usually only applied by the Responsible Entity where an act of god, such as fire or flood, has made a Club Property inaccessible or forced it to close.
It is important to remember that the earlier you book, the more likely you are to get the dates that you prefer at Club Apartments. The higher your level of Membership, the earlier you are entitled to book. The booking window also differs between full week reservations (which can be booked earlier) and for periods shorter than one week.
Interval is an independently owned and operated service company. When enrolling with Interval, a Member will receive a copy of Interval’s terms and conditions of individual membership and exchange, which the Member should read carefully before determining whether Interval membership is right for them. Neither the Developer nor the Responsible Entity are agents for Interval and no representations or promises made by the Developer or Responsible Entity, or their agents, are binding on Interval. Interval’s responsibility for representations regarding Interval’s exchange program, as well as Interval’s current or future services, is limited to those made in written materials provided by Interval.

Members of the Club receive an annual allocation of Première Points, the Club’s currency, which they can use to stay at holiday locations throughout Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. The core package of Membership rights to which all Members are entitled is described as a ‘Première Membership’. Memberships are currently offered at Corporate, Traveller, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels.
Every year that a Club Membership remains current, the Member will receive an annual allocation of Première Points.

This annual allocation occurs once a year for the entire term of the Club on the first day of the month following the month in which the Member was entered in the Membership register.
