We had booked three nights at Jonah's Boutique Hotel, as part of our 26 days during May itinerary in Australia, through an Australian travel agent. Then, abruptly the hotel notified us on 26 Jan. that they had a private function make a booking in the hotel for one night of our scheduled stay. They cited their fine print terms "Please note that Jonah’s reserves the right to book a function or event that may alter the offerings available at the property or cancel your reservation. We will provide at least three months’ notice of any changes." While they offered to rebook us at a later date, our itinerary had been locked in well in advance of their notice, so this was an offer without any possibility of success for international travelers. We received a full refund and had to begin a search for a location and hotel available for those three specific nights. Neither our travel agent nor us had ever experienced such an action by any hotel in the world. To say the least, we will never book a stay at Jonah's and recommend that you do not do so either. The inclusion of a cancellation provision in their Terms & Conditions doesn't make it the right and honorable thing to do!
