A 25% deposit is required to secure and confirm your booking. 

A 2% merchant fee is charged for VISA and MASTERCARD credit card transactions.  A 3% merchant fee is charged for AMEX.

A valid credit card number is required to hold as security.

The balance of payment is due 30 days prior to the arrival date and is non-refundable as our unique holiday retreats are limited.

All monies are held in a fully audited Trust Account.

The number of guests staying in each individual retreat is not to exceed the number booked.

CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations 90 days prior to the commencement of the booking will be refunded in full less a 150.00 administration fee. 

For cancellations made less than 90 days prior to the commencement of the booking, no refund will be available.  Changing to another retreat cannot be made within this period.  We highly recommend travel insurance to cover this possibility.

To be entitled to a refund, cancellations must be made in writing.

Refunds cannot be made to credit cards.  A cheque may be sent or funds can be direct deposited in to an account.  A charge will occur to overseas accounts.

We reserve the right to cancel your booking if the balance is not received by the due date.  Your deposit will be forfeited in this case.


CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT

The retreat is available from 2:00pm on the day of arrival and is to be vacated by 10:00am on the day of departure.  Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate early overseas arrivals and late departures, the only way to absolutely ensure early check-in or late check-out is to book an extra day.
