1.2 On receipt of the deposit, you will receive an email confirming both the payment and your booking details.

1.3 The remaining balance will be due one month in advance of your arrival date. An email reminder will be sent to you 31 days prior to your arrival date, where an outstanding balance remains. The reminder email gives you the option to pay the remaining balance by A2A (Internet Banking) or credit card. If your internet banking payment has not been received within 24 - 48 hours, the remaining balance will automatically be charged to the credit card used at the time of booking.
