Bookings are subject to the following terms and conditions.

Guests must agree to read the full welcome guide on arrival and follow the instructions within as best they can. 

  • A contract between you and the owner will come into existence when payment is received and a booking confirmation is issued showing the confirmed dates. The contract binds you & all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms & conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the booking.
  • The balance must be paid no later than three weeks before the commencement of your retreat. If the balance is not received by the due date, then your retreat will be treated as a cancellation and the client will remain liable to pay the balance of the rent.
