Kindly note that keys will not be handed over until full payment has been received.
A refundable breakage deposit of either 20% or R6000.00 (whichever is greater) is required to cover any charges that occurred while in residence. Breakage/key deposits are refunded subject to inspection by the service provider or homeowner. Once verification has been confirmed, the breakage/key deposits will be refunded via EFT within 10 working days of departure.
