Please also read the detailed Guest Manual which forms part of the contract:
• Guest is responsible for any damage and repairs/replacement costs
• Please report any damage or breakages prior to departure
• There is no washing machine at the island
• Stays on the property are at your own risk and you indemnify Picnic Island Pty Ltd Newton-Brown Super Trust and its directors and agents for any claims made against them not covered by insurance including while using any equipment provided for guest use

Picnic Island does not operate boat transport services to get to the island and accepts no liability for any loss incurred in the course of you travelling to and from the island, including while embarking and disembarking onto the jetty or shore.
• Guests must engage a water taxi for transportation.
• Guests are not permitted to use their own boats to access the island. The jetty is unsuitable for mooring boats and damage can easily occur if boats are moored on it.
• Guests may only traverse the island either on the rocky shore or on the pathways provided to protect the seabird burrows and to avoid dangerous cliffs. Children should be supervised at all times. There are many dangers for small children.
• Closed toe shoes should be worn when walking around the island to prevent injuries.
