If your visitor intends to use the waterslide park, pool, playground, mini golf etc a DAY USE FEE applies, (overnight visitors attract the usual tariffs). Unfortunately visitors are not permitted during school holiday and peak periods as we have discovered that this inundates the resort and its facilities and has a negative impact on our paying guest’s enjoyment. All visitors must be registered at Reception. We thank you for your co-operation.
