We do have a limited number of ‘pet friendly homes’ - special exceptions apply to these bookings, extra clean up fee will be charged together with a daily rate for pet occupancy. This will be determined and confirmed at the time of booking. You must make us aware that you are bringing a pet with you either before or at the time of reservation.

If the air temperate falls below 55 degrees or less, the water temperature may not reach a comfortable temperature. We regret that in these circumstances a refund of part or all of the monies paid is not possible and your understanding of this important matter is an essential part of the reservation. Please also note that if pool heat is ordered on day of arrival it may take some time for the pool to reach a comfortable temperature. Again, no refund will be given for the time the pool is warming up.
