Child restraints
Child restraints for buggies are provided at a cost of $6 per seat for the duration of hire to all Hamilton Island Hotels and Hamilton Island Holiday Homes guests. Guests staying in a privately owned accommodation may hire child restraints at a cost of $15 per day and will be charged to a maximum of 4 days and subject to availability. We do not take any bookings for this so please ask our buggy hire staff at our front desk when you arrive on island and we can have this installed to your buggy. For example, if you hire the seat for 7 days, the most you will have to pay is $60 (4-day hire)

Please Note: We do not offer any discounts on long term rentals or refunds for early returns.

Damage Waiver
There is also an optional $12.00 per day damage waiver that protects against any accidental damage while the buggy is in your possession. This can be added to your booking at time of pick-up
