Terms & Conditions

Covid-19 cancellations

We understand the extraordinary circumstances of the World Pandemic. Please be reassured that we will refund 100% of any reservations that need to be cancelled due to Government-imposed restrictions. For cancellations due to other causes, our standard policy applies.

Our Standard Cancellation Policy

Our standard cancellation policy: If you cancel within ten days of your reservation, money paid is not refundable. This is a strict condition. Outside ten days an administration fee of 30% will be imposed.

Receive credit: discretionary

With regard to cancellations made within ten days of reservation – we may use our discretion to allow a guest to move their booking to another date, without penalty. However, the conditions pertaining to the original reservation remain should you cancel the amended reservation.

Minimum Reservation

A minimum booking is two nights during the year and three nights over the Christmas holiday. Some of our package deals, such as the Romantic Getaway, may have a minimum stay of three nights.

Single night reservations

At our discretion we may free up a single calendar for a specific cottage, upon your request. However there will be a surcharge of $30 for a single-night booking.

EFT Payment: Confirmation

For guests paying by electronic funds transfer (EFT), reservation will only be confirmed upon receipt of funds by Tin Dragon Cottages. If a valid bank receipt is not received by email within four hours of a reservation, the reservation may be cancelled. After three days, if funds are not received, the reservation will be cancelled.
