Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I reserve a non-smoking room?
A: The Hougoumont is proud to be a smoke-free venue and all rooms are non-smoking. We have a set smoking area on the ground floor near the lift, past the laneway.
Q: Can I request a room on the upper floors?

Q: What are your conditions for accommodating children?
A: Our Superior cabin and Deluxe rooms are a p[erfect fit for up to 2 Guests. The room rate is free for children if they share a bed with parents. We do not allow more than one child to share with two adults in a State Room. Should you have more than one child, you will need to get an extra room or pay for a rollout bed (we recommend to book the New Haus Suites, in case).
Extra rollout beds are charged at the adult rate of $45.00. You may only hire one per room, in a State room (due to fire hazard restrictions). Please note: If you wish to use baby cots, or if you require an additional folder bed, pre-booking is essential, please contact us in advance (charges apply for set up).
