The acceptance of a booking request is solely at the discretion of the Property Manager. If your booking request is not accepted, The Property Manager will promptly refund any charges for accommodation, service fees, and add-ons. However, please note that it may take up to 5 working days for the refunded amount to be credited back to your account by your credit card provider or bank.

For long weekends, a booking is typically for a duration of three nights, unless stated otherwise. However, if your booking includes the Easter period, a minimum stay of four nights is required.

During all other times, there is a minimum stay requirement of two consecutive nights, unless a specific property listing specifies a longer minimum stay. We may consider bookings for a shorter duration within 2 weeks of the holiday periods.

* Booking for the Number of Persons and Maximum Capacity

Bookings must adhere to the maximum number of people allowed as specified in the property listing, regardless of the available beds in the property. In the event that a booking request is not accepted due to the number of individuals in the group exceeding the maximum limit for the property and/or the specified time period, any funds collected from the prospective guest will be refunded, with the exception of the non-refundable service fee.

The booking is valid for the number of individuals and group configuration indicated in the booking request. Any changes to the booking must be communicated in writing to the property manager and require their approval to ensure the booking remains valid.

In the event of a cancellation or a request to reduce the number of nights before the start of your stay, any accommodation costs and service fee paid will be forfeited, and no refund will be issued.

If you cancel the booking after the final payment due date, you will still be responsible for the remaining balance of funds due for the reserved stay period.

If the property manager successfully re-books the cancelled or reduced nights, the applicable amount paid for the re-booked nights will be refunded, minus a 15% administration fee. The guest must contact the property manager no later than 21 days after the original start date of the cancelled or reduced booking to determine eligibility for a refund on the re-booked nights.
