Once successfully booked you will be given a booking confirmation and reference, which you can use to check in and to track your reservation.

 

If you do not receive your booking confirmation within twenty-four hours from the time of booking, please contact us as we may have accidentally taken an incorrect email address and be trying to trace you.
