What happens if I make an online booking?
What if I change my mind about my booking?

What if must cancel my booking?
Can I get my deposit back if I cancel before making the balance payment?
If you book online you'll be asked to make a 10% deposit payment, up to a maximum of $250 USD, to secure your booking. Once this is received your booking will be made with relevant owner/property management company and you'll receive a receipt for your deposit which constitutes confirmation of your booking
We allow 48hrs grace for you to cancel your booking with us. Your card payment for the deposit will be authorised for these 48hrs and only captured from your card once the 48hrs cooling off period has elapsed. And cancellation must be submitted by email to info@highlandsreservevillas.com
If you need to change the dates of your booking, for whatever reason, before the balance is due for payment 30 days prior to your arrival date, we will always try and accommodate you. However this of course would be subject to availability.
Please see our cancellation policy on our T&C’s page, but if you’re cancelling well before your arrival date and wish to rebook for alternative dates, in some instances we may be able to move your deposit payment to the new booking, but there’s no guarantee that this will be possible.
As outlined in our T&C's any cancellation, prior to payment of the balance owed for your booking, will result in the loss of your deposit.

Alternatively, if you decide after you’ve made your booking having paid your deposit without pool heat, we will be happy to add this to your booking, and the cost will be added to the final balanced owed and payable 30 days prior to your arrival.
This is entirely dependent on other bookings at the villa as all homes need to be thoroughly cleaned between rentals, but if there’s enough time between arrivals and departures this can be arranged, but is at the discretion of individual Property Managers, and if it is possible there will be a charge for this, and the cost for this differs between different management companies.
Most villa do not have gas BBQ grills, but these can be rented, and prices are determined by length of rental. However, if you're renting for an extended period, it may be best to get in touch with us and ask us to negotiate a price for you.
Some of the homes we offer do have a gas BBQ that comes with the rental, but you may need to replace the gas bottle, and must clean the BBQ before you leave. If this isn’t done, you will have to pay a $75 cleaning fee which will be deducted from your security deposit.
Yes, these are available for rental for a one-off fee, approximately $50 to $70. Please contact us if you would like to rent these, or a Pack and Play for the period of your rental.

Note that is you choose to pay this invoice by credit/debit card your payment will be subject to a card processing surcharge of between 1% & 2.9% depending on which currency you'll be paying in.

We email you your Golf Vouchers.pdf for all your tee times two weeks prior to your first booked date.

Upon arrival at each course present your Golf Voucher to the relevant representative and you’ll be ready to tee off.
