Payments and Deposits
All bookings require a 50% non-refundable deposit payment upon confirmation of booking.

Balance payments are due 4 weeks prior to the date of the booking. “If booking date is less than the four weeks payment in full will be required”.
Payments are currently accepted by bank transfer and cash.
The booking is made up of two payments, added together they total the full quote accepted by the client. If the client chooses they may pay both payments together at the booking stage if they prefer to pay the whole amount in total.
The booking is not confirmed until receipt of the completed booking form and deposit payment is cleared.
Confirmation will be sent to the client on receipt of the deposit and completed booking form, this will include all instructions received to date including payments made and due
