We believe that we provide great value for money, even with at new price.

About your booking
Can I bring more people with me that weren't on my original booking?
Absolutely - the more the merrier!
Additional people can simply pay when they arrive, so there's no need to modify or update the booking.
Do I need to arrive earlier than my booking time?
You should aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment, so you
have enough time to complete your sign-in, induction and get changed into your
safety clothing.
If you don’t arrive on time, you risk not completing your sign-in and induction
on time, which will result in reducing the amount of time you have in The Smash
Room.
If you arrive after your session time has started you may be asked to wait
until the next free time slot, but keep in mind that we book out in advance, so
there may not be any further available Smash Rooms on that day.
We know that things happen out of your control from time to time but late
arrivals can usually be avoided with good travel planning in advance.

Cancellations and reschedules
Can I reschedule or cancel my appointment?
If you need to reschedule your appointment, there will be no late fee if you inform us anytime prior to your booking.
If you need to cancel your appointment, you must contact us by email or phone at least 48 hours before your booking time.
If a booking is cancelled within 48 hours, there will be a $20 service fee charged.
If you do not notify us of a cancellation in advance of your booking time, then your booking will be considered a no-show which is non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled.
Refunds processed take between 5 - 10 business days to clear to the original payment method.
What happens if I don't arrive for my booking?
No-shows are not be eligible for refunds or reschedules because the room you book has been specifically reserved for you at a timeslot, which means that no one else would have had the chance to book that room.
Because a certain number of staff are rostered to work to cater for the number of people booked in each day, and preparation goes in to each booking before people arrive, it is unreasonable to offer refunds for no-shows.
We understand that life throws unexpected things our way, and we try to be as accommodating as possible, but if we don't hear from you in advance and your booking is a no-show, then your booking will be non-refundable, as per our terms and conditions you accept when making the original booking.
What happens if some people in my group can't make it?
If you notify us at least 48 hours in advance of your booking (email or phone), then we can reschedule or refund anyone that cannot attend.
If we do not hear about anyone who can't attend until you arrive, then anyone missing will be considered a no-show and their booking will be forfeited and non-refundable or non-reschedulable.
Your host may offer you the ability to utilise the booking value as extra credit on the day to spend on upgrades or more crates, but this is solely the decision of the host and is not an expectation.
Should I reschedule if it's too hot or too cold?
Too cold?
We provide protective clothing that is sure to keep you nice and warm on those cold Melbourne winter days, plus all that swinging of bats and throwing bottles against the wall is sure to warm you up.
Too hot?
Each Smash Room is fully equipped with commercial-grade refrigerated air conditioning and gym fans, so even on hot Melbourne days, you can keep cool and comfortable.
