We will review current bookings for those days and reserve the right to cancel bookings, with a full refund or return booking provided. We will contact guests via email and provide as much notice as possible, according to weather forecasts. The safety of our guests is a priority. If guests are staying at Riverlin, and an emergency bushfire situation arises, we will do our best to contact you directly to alert you of this. However, it is our guests' responsibility to keep themselves informed of local conditions and emergencies and act accordingly. We ask that every guest read our ‘Bushfire Emergency booklet’ located in the house and download the ‘Vic Emergency’ app when staying during our warmer months (Oct-March). This will alert you if any emergencies are affecting Warburton and give advice on when and how to act
