CORONAVIRUS CANCELLATION POLICY
The current cancellation policy is adapted as follows due to the Coronavirus and may be withdrawn or altered at any point subject to further business risk and/or developments.
Holsboer Vacations support the Government’s five-level plan to ease the nationwide lockdown in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. The coronavirus alert level has been lowered from level 4 to advanced level 3 from the 1st July 2020. These regulations allow for intraprovincial travelling, meaning persons may travel within their own provinces for leisure activities. Holsboer Vacations properties will unfortunately remain closed until interprovincial travelling is allowed (meaning travelling between provinces). Any bookings during July 2020 will have to be postponed to a later date and our team will be in contact with you in order to assist you with any information or guidance on postponing your vacation.
We have also reviewed and amended our policies in order to allow guests to postpone their trips in order to accommodate everyone without penalties. We do urge our guests to rather postpone their vacation than cancelling as we’ve all been affected by this epidemic and we as the Holsboer Team are extremely grateful for your continued support to our business during this time.
Pensioners Bookings: According to the Public Health Agency, people over 60 have an increased risk of severe disease if they contract COVID-19. The Holsboer Vacations team is concerned about the safety of our Pensioners during this time. In light of this we have amended our cancellation/amendment policy and we will either amend / refund a Pensioner without any penalties from now until 30th September 2020 check in. This policy is subject to change / be reviewed should the Lockdown levels change in any way.
As a valued Holsboer Vacations client and guest, you have come to expect and enjoy an unforgettable experience when you visit our properties. This commitment to service excellence will not change, however as the world we live in has now changed, we need to adapt. We want to be sure that when we welcome you again, we have taken every necessary precaution to minimize the risk of infection and transmission of COVID-19 to employees, contractors and overnight guests. The directions provided for time-share facilities and resorts in the Government Gazette include their detailed requirement for all to comply with various health, safety and sanitizing protocols, which will be steadfastly observed by all Holsboer Vacations properties for the safety of everybody (staff included). We will endeavour to continue to offer experiences with the highest measures of health and safety standards in place.
Any bookings for occupation after the 1st August 2020, our existing cancellation policies currently applies. The Holsboer Vacations team will be available to assist you with any information or guidance on postponing your vacation.
We appeal to all South Africans to heed the President’s call and abide by the rules of the different Lockdown levels.
