Q: What is meant by self-catering apartment?

A: A self-catering apartment is not serviced daily, as in a hotel. Additionally, cooking, cleaning and washing are done by the guest. However, for stays of more than one week, the apartment will be serviced once weekly, and fresh towels supplied every fourth day. If additional cleaning is required, this can be arranged at an extra cost.

Q: Will I receive fresh towels and linen daily?

A: No, towels and linen are provided at the start of your stay, and are changed every seventh day for stays of 7 days or more. Extra towel and linen changes can be arranged for a fee (please request at check-in).

Q: What time is check-in/check-out?

A: Check-in is at 14:30, and check out is at 11:00 am. Depending on the availability of the apartment, you may be able to check-in to your apartment earlier than this, though this cannot be guaranteed.

As we need to have access to the apartment to service it prior to the arrival of the next guest(s), we request that guests leave the apartment by 11:00 am on the day of departure.

Subject to availability, an afternoon/evening check-out may be arranged at an extra cost.

Q: Can a booking be extended?

A: Subject to availability, a booking may be extended. However, we cannot guarantee the same nightly rate. Generally, extra nights will be charged at the rates applicable at the time.

Q: Is parking available?

A: We do not supply parking facilities. However, there are several car parks located near to the apartments. Additionally, street parking is available in many areas close to the apartments.

Q: How many sets of keys can we have?

A: Currently, we can offer 2 sets of keys for each apartment.

Q: When is payment of the balance required?

A: Two weeks prior to your arrival date, a reminder email will be sent to which gives you the opportunity to complete payment of your balance. Payment can be completed online.
