PAYMENT, CANCELLATION AND MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
As applicable to the client/tenant and specified by Accommodation Daddy

CHECK IN & CHECK OUT
Check-in is between 14h00 and 16h30 on the day of arrival.
Check-out time is before 10h00 on the day of departure.
Right of admission reserved.

We have an early or late check in fee of R250.00 for arrivals between 16h30 and 07h00.  This fee should be settled directly with the consultant on arrival. We try to accommodate earlier check ins and late check outs but these are dependent on operational circumstances (eg. someone is checking in on the same day that you are departing necessitating a punctual check out for servicing and cleaning). Exceptions to these times are made entirely at our discretion. It is safer to book a full extra day if an early check in or late check out is of critical importance to you.

PASSPORTS
South African immigration laws require all visitors’ passports to have at least two blank pages and to be valid at least six months from your planned date of departure from South Africa. The law is rigourously enforced so please check your passports without delay!

CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY Accommodation Daddy

In the exceptional circumstance where Accommodation Daddy can no longer provide you with the property booked or the same Rental Period (for reasons other than Force Majeure), you will have the following choices:
(i) Accept an alternative property that Accommodation Daddy is able to offer to you for the same rental period
(ii) Accept the change in the rental period proposed by Accommodation Daddy.
Accommodation Daddy will consider refunding the sums paid if it has not been able to provide you with one of the options above to your satisfaction.
Accommodation Daddy shall not be liable for any cancellation charges for travel arrangements or any further claims by you or anyone else in your party.

KEY & BREAKAGE DEPOSIT

Credit card details are required for the above prior to check in. If payment is made by transfer or cash deposit it is payable in advance and will be added onto your rental amount and refunded within seven days after check-out should everything be in order.
The amount for the key and breakage deposit is ZAR (see your documentation specific to your booking and property)

Any loss or damage to the property and/or its contents, accidental or otherwise, must be paid for.

Any lost keys or keys not returned as per our instructions will result in locks & keys being replaced and you being held accountable for such charges. This is in the interest of security.

Due attention is therefore advised. Should such damage or loss be more than the Key & Breakage deposit, you will forfeit your deposit and still be liable for the balance of such loss and/or damage.
