• What is included in the apartment?

  Just like a hotel we provide linen and towels as well as basic toiletries.  We also provide kitchen provisions to get you started including washing up liquid, washing machine tablets, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee, sugar and milk portions.  As all of our apartments have a full kitchen we encourage you to bring your own supplies or why not order groceries on-line and arrange for them to be delivered on your day of arrival.  We will ensure these are placed in your apartment for you.

• Rates

  All rates are per apartment and per night as is applicable and are subject to Government Value Added Tax (VAT) levied at the applicable rate.

  For a stay of more than 28 consecutive nights, VAT is only applied to 20% of the rate.

  Please note that when a stay is shortened, we reserve the right to revise the nightly rate to reflect the new length of stay and this rate will then apply to the whole stay.

• Securing your reservation

  A credit card number is required to secure all reservations, unless a Company account has been set up prior to the reservation. Should a Company account be set up, a Company purchase order number will be required to convert a provisional reservation into a confirmed reservation. Provisional reservations will only be held for 24 hours.
