Most of our properties have a minimum 5 night stay requirement however a minimum 7 night stay may be required during peak season.
To secure a booking, payment of a 25% deposit and valid credit card details are required to confirm your booking.

To avoid forfeiting your deposit, a cancellation notice must be received in writing 30 days prior to the reserved date. Cancellations made within the 30 days period will result in forfeiture of monies paid should we be unable to re-let the property for the reserved time. Therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance.
Ulysses Getaways recommends that the guest takes out comprehensive holiday cancellation and protection insurance with a reputable insurance company to cater for any unforeseen circumstances which may arise including accident, ill health or any other matters beyond the guest's reasonable control, as once the booking is confirmed and receipted, the guest will be responsible for payment of the full rental.
