The cancellation policy varies according to the rate that is booked. Please refer to the individual full rate descriptions given at booking.

Individual policy if it becomes necessary to cancel a confirmed booking then 48 hours’ notice must be given. If however, you cancel your room less than 48 hours prior to your arrival; the Hotel reserves the right to charge for the full amount of your accommodation.

For rates marked “Advance Purchase/Non Refundable” – We require full prepayment for the entire stay at the time of the Booking and this is non-refundable and the Booking non-changeable.

We will, however, use reasonable attempts to try and re-locate any confirmed Booking cancelled by us to an alternative location similar in standard to the Hotel.

We may need to allocate an alternative room to you for operational or safety reasons. If we need to move you to a different room during your booking for which a lower rate is available than the rate you booked at, we will refund you the difference in the rates.
