Cancellation Policy
*Deposit and Cancellation Policy: Blanket Bay is a small exclusive resort and cancellations affect them greatly. A current credit card number with expiry date is required to confirm a reservation. If the reservation is cancelled fewer than thirty days before your visit, a charge of one night’s tariff will be made. Due to the remote location a last-minute cancellation gives little chance of filling the space. Should we receive less than seven days notice of a cancellation we will charge for every room night booked. Naturally we will endeavour to re-book the space and if successful a refund will be made. A 60 days cancellation period applies over Christmas and New Years. In any event we strongly advise guests to take out travel insurance to protect themselves against unexpected changes to their travel plans. Blanket Bay is available for private family or corporate gatherings. Please inquire.
