Why Booking Direct Is the Best Choice

✅ Personal Support Every Step of the Way

Booking directly with us means you have a direct line to your hosts, Alison and Andre. From your first enquiry to the day of your stay, we’re here to answer any questions and assist you personally.

✅ Flexible Payment Options

Take advantage of exclusive payment options only available when you book direct.
A 25% non-refundable deposit on booking, with the remaining balance due 30 days before arrival.
This tailored payment plan is not offered through OTAs (Online Travel Agents) such as Booking.com

✅ More Flexible Cancellation Policies

Life doesn’t always go as planned, and we understand that. Our Book Direct cancellation policy is more flexible than what you’ll find on OTAs.
Cancel more than 30 days before arrival — your deposit will be retained but no further charges apply. For cancellations within 30 days, the full balance will be retained.
We strongly recommend taking out holiday insurance so you can reclaim your deposit if needed.
