Payment for Bookings

Direct bookings with The Headwaters Eco Lodge (either via phone or on our website), prior to 48 hours from the arrival date, are provided with two payment options:

- Guests are able to make payment in full, using their credit card at the time of booking.

- Guests are able to secure their booking using a valid credit card, without making payment. A deposit of one night of the accommodation total may be charged to the credit card 48 hours prior to the arrival date. The balance will be due at time of departure.

Direct bookings (either via phone or on our website) made within 48 hours of arrival will require full payment via credit card at time of booking.

Cancellation & Refund Policy

Our accommodation cancellation policy is as follows:

- Cancellations outside of 48 hours of the arrival date may occur without payment. If a deposit was made, a full refund is available. Guests may choose to transfer any deposits to a new booking if applicable.

- Cancellations within 48 hours of the arrival date will incur a charge equivalent to one night of the accommodation total. Charges will be applied to the credit card supplied at the time of booking.

- ‘No-shows’ will incur a charge equivalent to the full cost of the accommodation.

- Please note we do not refund transaction fees.

The Dining room at The Headwater’s Eco lodge is situated in a remote location and any changes and cancellations affect us greatly. Whilst we try to accommodate these as much as possible, there are costs incurred with sourcing food, preparation, and staffing which we are unable to defer at late notice. 

Guests may change or cancel a dinner reservation up to 24 hours before the dining booking without any penalty.  Any cancellations made within 24 hours will incur a 100% cancellation charge.

Policy Exception to High Season Period

20th December to the 26th January is considered a High Season Period. All bookings cancelled or modified within 14 days of the arrival date during this period will incur a charge for all room nights booked.
