    How to book:

    A booking at Orchard View Cottage may be secured via one of the following ways:

    1. Settlement of a 20% non-refundable deposit (non-refundability also applies in the case of shortened stays). The deposit may be settled either via credit card or via EFT into the Belfry's bank account (kindly request the banking details from the bookings administrator). Additional payment options are available for international guests.

      Kindly note that campus cottages necessarily remain open for booking, also on online platforms, which are vulnerable to instant bookings, until such time as a record of transfer in respect to settlement has been received. During high-demand periods, such as December, securing may require increased deposits.
