Refunds

The deposit is non-refundable. We are making a commitment for the house based on the number of hikers. If the cancellation is made after 1 May 2006 and the final amount has been paid we will refund approximately 50% of the total amount paid. By renting a house we are saving about 30% on accommodation and having a nicer living situation. The tradeoff is that an individual cancellation does not change the accommodation cost.
