A current drivers licence, passport or other form of photo identification (ID) will be asked for prior to check-in. We require all credit card usage to be accompanied by an official Government issued ID which includes a photo and is valid at the time of your arrival. This ID may be copied and stored as record that we have verified who you are and your authority to use your credit card, as a combat to increasing credit card crime. We believe that this policy best protects our guests and benefits all credit card holders, far beyond a simple signature comparison. As per our privacy policy, any personal information contained on the collected identification will not be on-sold, will be securely stored and carefully disposed of at the end of its usefulness. If you do not agree with this policy, then you must arrange an alternative payment process, ensuring that any EFT money transfer is completed seven (7) working days prior to your arrival and that you have adequate cash on arrival to cover the security bond / deposit.

SECURITY BOND / CREDIT CARD AUTHORISATION:A credit card authorisation (pre-auth) will be asked for at time of check in and will be used to cover incidental items such as (but not limited to):
We pre-authorise all credit cards upon arrival. Please note this process validates the presented credit card, and protects both the cardholder and merchant from increasing fraud incidents. We may pre-authorise a credit card for any charges we determine that the guest may be likely to consume during their stay. This may also include an amount to cover a security bond / deposit for damages. The pre-authorised amount is set aside by the credit card company for a period of up to 10-days. The pre-authorisation will affect your available funds and / or spending limit. For more information on this practice we suggest the cardholder contact their card issuer. Once a pre-authorisation has been made, we cannot release, remove or lower the authorised amount, until we process the final account on departure. This is a restriction placed on us by the bank, and cannot be negotiated. CASH BOND POLICY:Without the above mentioned credit card (pre-auth) bond, we can accept a cash security bond at time of check-in. This is at our Property Managers / Reception staff's discretion. We reserve the right to reject bookings, evict and / or remove guests who cannot provide enough bond to cover potential damage / charges.
