Normally bookings open 11 months in advance. When the school holidays extend over two months, a feasible date will be indicated on our website when bookings will open for this period.

Guests are allowed to move their reservation from one park to another without any penalty fee costs as long as the booking is not paid. However once the booking is partially or fully paid they have to be cautious when moving their booking to another park as Terms & Conditions will apply.

Guest will only have one option of moving the entire booking, reservations may not be split.
