Important Information

Please take note that we do not accept credit card payments at Birdsong Cottages. A 50% deposit is required upfront to secure your booking. Should you be paying the balance on arrival, please advise as payment by card is not accepted at the property.

BREAKAGE DEPOSIT
A cash deposit of R300 applies and is collected on check in. This will be returned upon departure once your inventory list has been gone through with the relevant duty manager. Any breakages will be charged for accordingly and deducted from the breakage deposit. Damages exceeding the deposit will still be liable for. Guests are therefore expected to complete their copy of the inventory upon check-in. This applies to both listed items and structural items such as furniture and fittings.
