Booking cancellations - just so we're clear

To keep things easy, fair, and consistent for everyone, Guesthouse Exchange operates on a standard, all-around cancellation policy across the platform. Any booking cancelled within 5 days of the arrival date will not be eligible for a refund or token return. We know plans can change, but this approach helps protect both hosts and guests and keeps the exchange running smoothly. Before confirming your stay, please make sure you’ve read our full Terms and Conditions, where everything is explained in a little more detail – no surprises, promise. 

House rules and important info

Right of admission is reserved.

Out of consideration for all our guests and to promote exclusivity, we do not permit day visitors over and above the number of paid for and booked sleep over guests as per the booking confirmation. Day visitors or unbooked guests above the number of guests booked into the particular cottage will not be granted access to the lodge.

On check in the main guest will be required to provide the names of all guests in the group and guests. Unidentified guests will not be granted access to the lodge.

If you are more than 16 guests/8 bedrooms we can arrange a top up package for the Blue Sky Private Lodge only. The base booking maximum in the Blue Sky Private Lodge is for up to 16 guests or 8 bedrooms, therefore for regular bookings made we open 8 bedrooms and close any additional rooms in the big lodge. If you are a large group and are going to need more than 8 bedrooms in the Blue Sky Private Lodge, then as a special arrangement we can open up additional rooms at a cost of R 1,000 per additional room per night. You would need to arrange this directly with the lodge prior to booking, as the website booking facility and any other online travel agent booking platforms are only up to a maximum of 16 guests over 8 bedrooms in the Blue Sky Private Lodge. Additional guests over the number booked will not be granted access, therefore please advise exactly how many guests you will be and how many rooms you will need so we can work out the total cost if you are more than 16 guests / 8 bedrooms in the Blue Sky Private Lodge. This does not apply to Red Sky Private Lodge (maximum 14 guests) and Sunset Private Lodge (maximum 8 guests).

No loud noise or music that can be heard by other guests please. We would rather have multiple happy guests that enjoy the peace and quiet of the bush instead of one guest that disturbs everybody. If you are planning a noisy gathering or party then we are NOT the right place for you. As a general guideline noise from a specific lodge should not exceed 50 decibels at source so that it cannot be heard by neighbouring lodges, and quiet time from 22h00. If a guest has block booked all 3 private lodges and has exclusive use of the entire Sky Lodge premises, then noise should not exceed 80 decibels at source and quiet time from 22h00 onwards. Should noise continue we reserve the right to switch off the power to the cottage and in extreme cases we reserve the right to cancel the booking and evict the disturbing guest without refund of deposits. If it becomes necessary for the lodge to call out the security duty manager to deal with unruly guests then the guest agrees that a fee of R 1,000 will be charged to the guest’s credit card.

Bachelor parties are not permitted.

Sorry pets are not allowed.

Bookings require one responsible adult parent guest over the age of 21.

The units are serviced daily (except Sundays and Public Holidays) when the guest has vacated the unit for the day.

Please respect our lodges and treat them as if they were your own house. Excessively dirty lodges will incur a minimum cleaning fee of R 750.

The cottages are self catering and cutlery, crockery, linen and bath towels are provided. Please bring your own swimming towels.

We take no responsibility for inconveniences caused by load shedding, power failures, rain and storms.

There is WIFI in the lounge area of the private lodges. We do not guarantee the quality of the WIFI service provider’s bandwidth and cannot be held responsible for any WIFI related performance issues.

Sky Lodge, its shareholders, directors, management and staff shall not be liable for any failure of or delay in the performance of it’s duty to provide accommodation or other related services for the period that such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to, acts of God, war, strikes or labour disputes and problems or transportation problems, embargoes, epidemics, pandemics, national disasters, emergencies, government orders or any other force majeure event.

Please no damages or theft of lodge items (including towels and cutlery). The guest agrees that damages and missing items will be charged for at double the market price due to us being far from shops to replace missing items.

The lodge is situated on a mountain, therefore there is a 3km dirt farm road from the main road to the lodge gate. The road is fine for a regular sedan or smaller car and a 4×4 is not required. We don’t recommend that you use a sports car or car with very low suspension or tyres as it is a dirt road.

Firewood and ice can be bought from our friendly reception staff.

No smoking inside thatch cottages please. If guests smoke inside the cottages then the guest agrees that a fee of R 500 will be charged to the guest’s credit card. Ashtrays are provided on the patios.

We do not do check ins and outs on Christmas or New Year’s Day as we give our staff off on those holidays. Bookings made with arrivals/departures on those days will be cancelled or rescheduled.

Check in is between 15h00 and 19h00 and check out is up to 10h00. Late check outs will be billed an additional day.

The lodges have Smart TVs with Netflix.

Lodges are only serviced daily, except Sundays and Public Holidays. Guest’s may also request that housekeeping does not service a requested unit. Our staff is still on hand to assist where necessary.
