Check-out must be done Before 12am on the day of departure unless a special request has been made by the guest and approved by the manager of Whisky Point Resort. We will make every effort to be flexible and accommodate any special request. Please appreciate that rooms should be serviced in time for the next guest’s arrival.
The full name of the guest, contact phone number and address is needed to confirm a reservation and a minimum deposit of one night stay for one night or up to 50% of the total stay is required for stays of more than one night.
Once a booking is confirmed it means that a legally binding contract is established between us. If you leave before the expiry of the booking no allowance can be made. Terms accepted on booking cannot be changed during the stay. This may be reviewed in exceptional circumstances.
If the accommodation is not available to the guest on the dates booked due to events beyond our reasonable control, we will take steps to find alternative accommodation. If suitable accommodation is not available then all money paid by the guest will be refunded.
50% of the deposit will be refunded (less any credit charges incurred e.g. PayPal or Credit Card or Bank charges) only if you cancel your reservation up to 30 days prior to arrival.
If you don’t cancel your booking by email at least 30 days before check-in date, we will expect payment of the original contracted amount in full.
If you do not turn up or you wish to leave before your reservation is due to end, we will expect payment of the original contracted amount in full.
If you wish to modify your booking then this will be regarded as a cancellation and re-booking and whilst we will try to accommodate such requests this is at our discretion.
We recommend that you have a travel insurance to cover any charges that may become due should you have to cancel your booking.
