The Arkaba Walk closes between November and February each year. However the Arkaba Homestead is open all year round.

Unforeseen circumstances may result in you having to change your plans or even cancel at the last moment. To protect non-refundable deposits and payments we STRONGLY recommend that all guests obtain comprehensive travel insurance that includes cancellation and emergency medical care cover.

Please be sure to consider such things as pre-existing medical conditions, valuable items and that the policy is right for you.

Check-out is by 11am following a morning safari experience.

Please note: As a small property with just five guestrooms we have no ‘check-in’ desk. As such, we are unable to accommodate earlier arrivals without prior arrangement. No lunch is provided on day of arrival.

As a small regional property, our business depends on maximising occupancy and cancellations often result in empty rooms due to long booking lead times.

90 days or more: Deposit will be refunded less a $50 admin fee and any credit card charges
61-89 days: Loss of deposit
60 days or less: 100% of total contracted package will be retained

• No shows or premature departures will incur 100% cancellation fee as will any unused services or unused nights due to flight / weather disruption.
• Final rooming list, arrival and departure details, meal and tour requirements are due 30 days prior to arrival

The minimum stay is two nights.

We recommend you stay at least three nights to allow time for two full days and a chance to relax.

Arkaba is not suitable for children under 12 years of age. This is partly acknowledging the small size of the lodge; additionally there are several safety considerations.

If the lodge is booked exclusively and suitable supervision is arranged then children of any age will be permitted.

Please note there are no child minding facilities available at Arkaba. All guests dine together.
