How Hideaways Rates Work

Currency: Zimbabwe and Botswana lodges are priced in US Dollars (USD). South African properties (Amava River Lodge, Cape Point Hideaway, Mariners Moon) are priced in South African Rand (ZAR).
Rate basis: Lodge rates are quoted per person, per night, sharing a room (two guests sharing). Villa rates (Cape Point Hideaway and Mariners Moon) are quoted per villa, per night.
Single supplement: A solo traveller occupying a room alone pays the per-person sharing rate plus the single supplement shown for that season. No single supplement applies in Green Season at lodges where the Green Season supplement is shown as none.
Seasons: Each property has its own season calendar with its own month ranges. Always check the exact month range in the property's rate table below — season dates are not the same across properties.
Exclusive use: Selected lodges can be booked on a sole-use basis at a fixed nightly rate for a base number of guests, plus an additional per-person rate up to the lodge maximum. Exclusive-use bookings include a private vehicle and guide.
Child rates: Discounted child rates apply at selected lodges by age band and season — see each property table and the dedicated Children's Rates & Child Policy section below.
A minimum stay of 2 nights is required for all villa bookings.
Stays over Easter Weekend require a minimum of 4 nights.
Stays during Peak Season require a minimum of 5 nights.
Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of 20% of the total booking value is payable within 7 days of confirming the reservation. For the South African villas (Cape Point Hideaway and Mariners Moon), if dates fall within high season, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required.
Full pre-payment is required 30 days prior to travel. Bookings made less than 30 days before arrival must be paid immediately upon presentation of the invoice. No guest may check in without full pre-payment received.
A 5% surcharge applies to all payments made by credit card.
Provisional reservations are held for 7 days only, after which unconfirmed bookings are released.
Cancellation fees: once a booking is confirmed, cancellation incurs 20% of the total booking value (50% for South African villas in high season); cancellation 60–31 days before travel incurs 50%; 30–15 days incurs 75%; 14 days or less incurs 100%. No refunds are made for no-shows or unused services.
Rates are quoted in USD per person for Zimbabwe and Botswana, and in ZAR for South African properties. Hideaways reserves the right to amend quoted tariffs if VAT, levies, taxes or fuel surcharges change. Air transfer prices are linked to fuel prices and may be adjusted without prior notice.
Comprehensive travel insurance is essential for all guests.
