  • We are two adults with a baby under 1years old, I will bring a cot. When I enter a kid under 1 you Charge R800 more. Can I book a room for two adults?

    Good day our policy is that children under 4 years old stay free. If you book the family chalet which sleeps 4 the price is higher than our double chalets which sleep 2 people each. You are welcome to bring the baby cot and no charge for the baby.
