A message to Guests, Residents and Staff
We consider our Guests, Residents and Staff to be part of our Ashmore Palms Holiday Village ‘Family’ and your health and safety remains our highest priority, particularly during this uncertain time.
We monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation regularly by assessing the information provided to us from the Australian Government, Department of Health, our workplace Health & Safety Auditors and other Industry Associations.
In the midst of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it’s important that we are providing you with clear, timely information about the procedures we have adopted, in order to maintain a sanitary environment, to ensure the highest level of safety for our Residents, Staff and Guests.
Ashmore Palms offers quality, self contained cabin accommodation and extensive facilities for the enjoyment of Residents and Guests. Our accommodation include holiday, short term and long term cabins.
We are very fortunate at Ashmore Palms to have separate, fully self-contained cabins – each with individual kitchens, bathrooms, and air conditioning systems – in addition to extensive grounds and open spaces within the Village. These features of the Village and cabins, in addition to our experienced Cleaning and Maintenance Teams, assist us to reduce risks.
Please ensure to read this update carefully and speak to our Reception Team if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns.
Kind regards
Ashmore Palms’ Management

Self-Isolation
If you are required by your doctor or other Government body to self-isolate, there are important measures you need to take.
Firstly, you must notify Reception in advance of returning to Ashmore Palms or checking-in to our accommodation.
You will be required (by law) to self-isolate for a 14-day period. Within this period our Staff will do everything they can to ensure your stay is comfortable, while keeping your safety and their safety a priority.
Visitors cannot enter your cabin and you must not use the facilities or come in contact with others.
Please let Reception know if you wish to purchase items from the Village Store. Credit card payment can be made over the phone and we can deliver items to your balcony, for your convenience.
For holiday and short-term cabins that have linen included, your cabin will not be serviced by our Housekeeping until the 14-day isolation period is complete.
Fresh linen and towels will be available upon request by phoning Reception on 5539 3222.
You will receive a linen bag upon arrival. Please place your dirty towels and linen in and leave out the front of your cabin door. Our Housekeeping Team will replace this bag with fresh linen and towels for you. For all cabins (excluding privately owned homes), our Maintenance Team will only conduct minor maintenance after the 14 day isolation period.
However, in instances where urgent maintenance is required, please contact Reception immediately.
