Travel Insurance:

​

You are required to have your own travel insurance to attend the workshop.

Travel insurance is inexpensive and can protect you by refunding monies paid if you need to cancel your trip due to an emergency or interruption or cover travel costs if the workshop is cancelled. You may also ask for cancellation insurance in case you need to cancel. We advise that you purchase travel insurance at the time you book your reservations as you may need to cancel before you book your flights. Each insurance company has its own policies, so you should consult with your agent to see what they cover. Workshops in SA (Pty) LTD will not be held responsible for fees or chargeback if the workshop is cancelled due to unforeseen interruptions.

Travel Arrangements:

​

Airfare is not included. You must provide your own airfare to our Workshop Retreats. We will collect you from Cape Town airport and take you directly to the estate where you will spend the most amazing 10 days of your life.

We will arrange a time for your pick-up and return drop-off when you have informed us of your travel itinerary. Our general pickup times are between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Depending on our pickup schedule, you may have to wait an hour or more from when you arrive. But we are always willing to accommodate within reasonable times.

If you plan to arrive on any day prior to or after your retreat start date or your flight is significantly delayed, you will need to make your own way to the estate. It is about 30 min away from the airport by Uber taxi. An Uber taxi may cost $ 20.   Keep our phone number handy to update us. Texting is a good option, but sometimes text has a delay when sending. If you do not get a quick reply – please call.
