There will be no refund where the booking is cancelled less than 30 days prior to the date of arrival.  A credit for future use may be given, at the manager’s discretion.

No refunds will be given if you choose to depart earlier than the booked date of departure, or if you do not arrive when booked to do so (either late or at all).
