TRAVEL INSURANCE

At Pumula Beach hotel, we are not keen on billing people for not staying with us. We will therefore rarely charge 100% cancellation fees. This will be on a case to case basis.

Unfortunately, cancellation costs to the hotel are as much a reality as taking out travel insurance will be for you, our guest. We strongly advise that guests booking hotel accommodation, especially over peak periods, consider travel insurance to be covered for any unforeseen circumstances or emergencies that may affect your stay with us.

DINING VISITORS

Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be booked for patrons coming in for a meal that are not staying at the hotel, but a booking must be made directly with the hotel prior to arrival. Please note that dining visitors are welcome at the hotel's discretion and is occupancy dependent.
