Before you book

Cancellation policies

Each listing picks one of three policies. It is shown on the listing page and again before you pay — never only in the small print.

Flexible

  • Full refund if you cancel 7 or more days before check-in
  • 50% refund from 7 days up to 2 days before
  • No refund inside 2 days

Standard

The most common choice.

  • Full refund if you cancel 30 or more days before check-in
  • 50% refund from 30 days up to 14 days before
  • No refund inside 14 days

Strict

Usually used for peak-season stays, where a late cancellation cannot realistically be re-let.

  • Full refund if you cancel 60 or more days before check-in
  • No refund after that

A few things worth knowing

Refunds are calculated on the accommodation and the cleaning fee. Where a policy retains part of the amount, that retained portion goes to the owner — they held the dates for you and turned other guests away.

If something has genuinely gone wrong — the place is not as described, or it is not available when you arrive — the policy is not the end of the conversation. Email bookings@savg.co.za and a person will deal with it.
