Booking Procedure:
Please note although you will receive an automated generic email confirming a booking this simply holds your property choice for 48 hours and confirms a provision booking.

You will be emailed a personalised booking form to complete, sign and returned. This allows you and us to double check details and gives you our policies and Terms & Conditions.

extra note:
Please be aware our automated system does not allow us to load different date period booking conditions and cancellation terms so only our standard policies will show. The booking form you receive will have the correct details as outlined below:

Booking Conditions COVID-19
During this crisis we have introduced flexible terms so you have one less worry. No one knows when restrictions will be lifted or enforced so we will be monitoring the situation and updating below terms when required. When specific South African travel restrictions are in place relating to intra-province, inter-province and/or international borders the payment terms below apply. When, and as specific restrictions are lifted for different regions, provinces and different countries (depending if High Risk status for SA) our standard terms apply. Should restrictions be enforced again for specific regions, provinces and countries, then of course our flexible terms apply giving you peace of mind.
