  1. Please let us have your approximate time of arrival to ensure that one of the maids is there to meet you. If for any reason you are delayed, please phone us.
  2. There is a DSTV decoder in the unit and the card will be activated for you.
  3. The admin fee of R500.00 is not refundable.
  4. The breakage deposit of R500 is refundable please ensure that we receive your breakage deposit form back so that your monies can be deposited back into your bank account.
  5. An optional fee of R100 per cleaning service (per day) and must be prebooked and prepaid with Zest before arrival.
  6. The following is supplied for you:

All linen and bedding.

Bath towels are supplied but if you require clean towels daily perhaps bring a few of your own or some OMO to use in the washing machine as your apartment has only 1 towel per person unless you have booked our daily towel service @ R20 per towel – has to be pre-booked with the office.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN BEACH TOWELS.

  1. If the unit has a dishwasher and you intend using this, please make sure that you either bring dishwasher tablets or detergent.
  2. Due to frequent electrical outages often experienced in the Margate area, we ask that all our guests come prepared with torches, candles & matches.
  3. On your arrival, you will find a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and small hand soap. A small amount of dishwashing liquid is also supplied. These items are NOT supplied right throughout your stay but on arrival only. The intention is to help guests who have just arrived with a few basic necessities that they may have forgotten. We supply black bags for kitchen bins throughout your holiday. A welcome tray is also provided on your arrival with some tea, coffee, sugar and milk.
  4. Please remember that you have signed an indemnity form stating that you will NOT play loud music, hold parties or cause a disturbance of any sort in the complex. Disregard of this will lead to eviction from the property.
  5. Please note that we ask that the unit is left in the condition it was in on your arrival. Dishes are to be washed and packed away before your departure as its extremely time-consuming for your servicing maid to do this. If the unit is left in a shocking state, there is a chance that you will have to forfeit your breakages deposit.
  6. Daily servicing of the unit is not included in your rate – this includes the washing of dishes because of time constraints. However, should you wish to have your dishes washed, we can organize one of our maids to come in once daily for you after breakfast at an extra charge of R100 per day. Please discuss this with the office NOT with your servicing maid as duties would already have been allocated to her.
  7. Time of occupation is 2.00pm onwards. If you’d like to arrive earlier, please discuss with me and if no-one is leaving the apartment on that day it shouldn’t be a problem – we’re pretty flexible! Time of departure is 10 am unless you’ve made an alternative arrangement with me!
  8. Late departures cannot occur during peak season. If guests depart late without prior organization a R100 fee will be levied per hour or part thereof.
  9. Emergency Tel. No. 079 086 0888.
  10. On your departure please ensure all sliding doors, windows and trellidors are locked.
