We require credit card details for all bookings, even where you are paying via internet banking. The credit card details you provide must be accurate and current. Failure to update your credit card details could result in cancellation of your booking with HS. If your credit card is due to expire any time up to 30 days after the end of your booking (“the end date”) you must ensure you provide us with updated details before you arrive at the property.
The credit card details you provide must be for a card you have the authority to use. We accept no liability to a third party for charges made to their card under your instruction.

Holiday Stays will email you further details once your booking is confirmed and this will include the link to Windcave to capture your credit card details.

Once we have received from you the necessary vetting details above and payment through Stripe, we will then confirm "final acceptance of your booking". We will provide you with directions & key location 7 days prior to arrival.

Acceptance of all bookings is entirely at our discretion at all times.

By submitting a booking you are authorising us to deduct deposits/balances and any other costs associated with your stay from the bond or credit card used to make the booking.

The balance of your booking is due within 30 days prior to your arrival (“the balance date”) and will be deducted from your credit card at this time. Where you have requested to pay via internet banking, you must ensure the balance is deposited into our account at such time that payment will have cleared by the balance date. If we have not received payment by the balance date we reserve the right to charge the outstanding balance to the credit card held against the booking. If you have booked through a third party network i.e Homeaway, Air BNB, Holiday Houses etc then their payment terms will apply.

A bond is required on all bookings and will be taken at our discretion. We may decide to increase this amount after we have received your confirmed booking and we will advise you if there is to be an increase. The bond is refundable unless there are any charges under our terms and conditions.
Providing we determine that the property is in an acceptable state following your stay and there are no outstanding fees or issues, we will release the bond to you.
If we have taken a Bond this will be released to the credit card or bank account used to pay for the booking less any associated costs where applicable. Where an overseas bank account has been used to pay for the booking the bond will be refunded to the credit card held against the booking.
If we identify that you have caused damage to the property or breached the terms during your stay, we reserve the right to withhold the bond, whether in part or in full. Please be aware that your liability for any damage or breach is total and not in any way limited to the bond amount. Where damage to the property or costs resulting from a breach of the terms is more than the bond amount we reserve the right to immediately deduct the costs from the credit card held against the booking or seek to recover costs by other means as we see fit.
Where costs are deducted in accordance with these terms, a letter of the damage or breach will be emailed to you accordingly after your stay. Once we have obtained all costs associated with the damage and or breach including administration fees, then we will email you an itemized account of the costs which will be payable by you immediately.
Where you are liable for damage which exceeds the bond amount, and we are unable to deduct the funds from your credit card, we will provide you with an invoice detailing the costs incurred. You must pay this within 24 hours. If you fail to make payment, we will immediately refer the matter to our debt collection agency.
