To maintain a high standard for our guests we require certain conditions to be complied with.

We appreciate most will respect our property but the occasional abuse requires that we state the following conditions.

The full balance of the tariff must be received 7 days prior to occupancy. If not the owner has the right to cancel the booking and attempt to re let the property.

Cancellations up to 7 days prior to arrival will incur a 50% loss of total rental.
Cancellations within 7 days prior to arrival will incur a total loss of rental unless the property can be relet.
All efforts are made to relet the property and return monies paid less an administration fee of $50.
