Frequently Asked Questions

Received a holiday voucher? This guide covers everything you need to know — from activation to check-in.

GETTING STARTED

What exactly have I received, and is it legitimate?

You’ve received a genuine hotel accommodation voucher gifted to you by a business you’ve supported. The business purchased this voucher through a promotional program that works directly with real hotels and resorts across Australia and internationally.

Your accommodation is completely free — the business has already covered that cost as a gift to you. The only fees you’ll pay are standard booking and service fees when you activate (similar to the fees charged by online booking platforms like Booking.com or Expedia). These fees vary depending on the destination you choose.

There are no hidden catches — no timeshare presentations, no sales pitches, and no obligations during your stay. You simply activate, book your dates, show up, and enjoy your holiday.

ℹ️  There are no timeshare presentations, no sales pitches, and no gimmicks involved. You simply book, show up, and enjoy your stay.

How quickly do I need to activate my voucher?

Once you receive your hliday voucher, you can hold onto it for 18 months before you proceed to activate your holiday voucher. Once you are ready to activate your holiday voucher, simply go to https://eholidayvouchers.com.au/redeem/ (this page) and fill in the form with your details and the barcode.

Our team will review your application, and send you an activation link for the desired destination you have chosen within 24-48 hours

If by chance you do not receive your activation link within this period, please check your SPAM folder. If it’s not there, please send us an email on [email protected] to inform our team. 

Each activation link have 7 days to activate it by paying the booking and service fees online. If you miss that window, don’t panic — simply contact [email protected] with your original voucher code and the team can issue you a new activation link.

After activation, you’ll have a generous 18 months to plan and take your trip, so there’s no need to rush into booking specific dates straight away.

ℹ️  Activate promptly to lock in your 18-month travel window, then take your time choosing the perfect dates.

What fees do I need to pay when I activate?

While your room accommodation is complimentary (valued at $100–$300 per night), there are standard booking and service fees payable at activation. These start from around US$37 per night and vary depending on the destination and resort. Some resorts provide you 2 rooms and can sleep up to two adults and 2 children. 

These fees are a normal part of the travel industry — similar to the booking fees you’d encounter on platforms like Expedia, Trivago, or Booking.com. They cover reservation processing, travel agency fees, and housekeeping costs.

The exact amount will be clearly displayed during the activation process when you select the desired destination and before you commit to anything.

BOOKING YOUR STAY

How do I actually book my accommodation?

 (l (The booking process is straightforward:

  1. Activate your voucher online by paying the booking and service fees.
  2. You’ll then receive access to an online hotel booking portal via email.
  3. Enter your preferred travel dates and destination to see available hotels and resorts.
  4. Choose the property that suits you and confirm your booking directly through the portal.

Availability is shown in real time, so the hotels listed will reflect what’s actually available when you search.

Alternatively, watch the video: How To Make A Booking Video – With easy step by step process (located on this web page).

 

How far in advance do I need to book?

You’ll need to book a minimum of 30 days in advance of your travel dates. This lead time allows participating resorts to manage their room inventory efficiently. Last-minute bookings are not available under this program, so plan ahead for the best selection.

What destinations are available?

There’s a wide range of Australian destinations to choose from, including:

  • Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Cairns, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Port Douglas, Byron Bay, Newcastle, Mackay, Rockhampton, Townsville, Great Ocean Road and others. 
  • New Zealand destinations are also available — Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Rotorua, Marlborough, and Bay of Plenty.
  • If you’d prefer to venture further afield, international destinations include Bali, Phuket, Koh Samui, Fiji, Hawaii, Vanuatu, Boracay (Philippines), and Greece, among others.

ℹ️  Destinations and available properties are subject to change. The full list of hotels and resorts is displayed after you activate your voucher and enter your travel dates.

What quality of hotels will I be staying in?

Participating properties are 3 to 4 star hotels and resorts with strong TripAdvisor ratings (4+ bubbles). Examples of properties that have been part of the program include:

  • Novotel Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast
  • Mantra Terrace Brisbane
  • Ramada Encore by Wyndham, Canberra
  • Brady Hotels Central Melbourne
  • Mercure Canberra
  • Pacific Hotel Cairns
  • Travelodge Hotel Perth

The specific properties available will vary over time as hotel partnerships change, so the full, up-to-date list is shown once you log into the booking portal.

ELIGIBILITY & CONDITIONS

Is there a distance requirement for where I can book?

Yes — you must live at least 100 miles (160 kilometres) away from the resort destination you wish to book. This condition exists because the program is designed to attract genuine holidaymakers rather than locals using it as a cheap nearby stay.

For example, if you live in Brisbane, you wouldn’t be eligible to book a Brisbane property — but you’d be perfectly eligible for the Cairns, Sydney or Melbourne or any other destination that meets the distance requirement.

Are there blackout dates or periods I should know about?

Peak periods such as school holidays and the Christmas–New Year period may have limited or no availability at participating hotels. Availability is ultimately determined by each individual hotel or resort at the time of booking.

For the widest choice of dates and properties, it’s best to plan your trip during off-peak times and book as early as possible within your 18-month window.

Can I bring my family or kids?

Most resorts accommodate 2 to 4 guests, depending on the property. However, not all participating hotels cater specifically to families or children, so it’s important to check that your chosen property suits your group when browsing the booking portal.

If you need more rooms, you can easily pay a little extra when making your booking. Group bookings across multiple rooms under this program are not permitted.

Is there an age or credit card requirement for check-in?

Yes — at least one member of the travelling party must be aged 21 or over and must present a valid credit or debit card at check-in. This is a standard hotel requirement to cover any incidental charges that may be incurred during the stay (such as room service, minibar items, or potential damage). The card is typically pre-authorised rather than charged immediately.

COSTS & WHAT’S INCLUDED

What does the voucher actually cover?

The voucher covers your accommodation only — this is the complimentary component, valued at between $100 and $300 per night depending on the property.

Everything else is your own responsibility, including:

  • Flights and airport transfers to and from the destination
  • Food and beverages (including restaurant meals, room service, and minibar)
  • Resort fees (where applicable — see below)
  • Gratuities and any incidental charges
  • Room upgrades or additional rooms if required
What are resort fees, and will I need to pay them?

Some properties may charge a resort fee — a daily charge that covers a bundle of amenities available to all guests. This is a common practice in the hotel industry, particularly at larger resorts. Resort fees typically cover things like:

  • Wi-Fi access
  • Gym and fitness centre access
  • Pool towels, chairs, and umbrellas
  • In-room safe and local phone calls
  • On-site parking

Not all properties charge resort fees. Where they do apply, they’ll be disclosed during the booking process so you know exactly what to expect before you confirm.

CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS

Can I cancel or get a refund after activating my voucher?

Unfortunately, all activations are final and non-refundable. Once you’ve paid the booking and service fees to activate your voucher, those fees cannot be refunded or trasnferred. Similarly, if you cancel after confirming your travel dates, or simply don’t show up, the activation fees are forfeited.

With this in mind, it’s worth taking a few minutes to confirm your preferred destination and approximate travel window before activating.

Can I change my destination after I've activated?

No — once you activate your voucher and select a destination, that destination cannot be changed. Each participating resort operates independently, and the booking rights are tied to the specific destination you choose at activation. Take your time to choose wisely before confirming.
