Terms & Conditions from the Dune Crew!

Hey you, future beach-dwelling legend! 🏝️ Ready for ocean air, sandy feet, horses, surfboards, and the occasional power cut? Before you kick off your flip‑flops, let’s breeze through the fine print.

The “Oops, Nevermind” Policy (AKA Cancellation Policy)

Changed your travel plans? It happens! Cancel at least 24 hours before arrival and you won’t be charged. Cancel late or don’t show up, and we’ll charge the first night of your stay. If you booked a non‑refundable rate, well… that one lives up to its name.

The General Stuff

We love spontaneity, but beds are limited out here between the dunes. We reserve the right to refuse accommodation if we’re full.

Adults only please — 18+ guests. This is a backpacker beach hideaway, not summer camp.

Most of our accommodation is shared or rustic by design. If you’re allergic to sand, nature, or communal living, this may not be your spiritual home.

We’ll need to see valid government-issued ID at check‑in (passport or driver’s licence). No ID, no stay. Simple as that.

Booking Shenanigans

Changing your arrival or departure dates counts as an amendment and may affect pricing.

If you move your booking to a different date or season, rate differences apply.

Last-minute plan changes are still cancellations — even if the ocean is calling louder elsewhere.

Money Matters

We accept Visa and MasterCard. American Express and Diners cards are not accepted.

If your payment method fails, you’ll have 48 hours to sort it out before the booking is cancelled.

Calling It Off

All cancellations must be made in writing — email us directly or cancel via the platform you booked through. Carrier pigeons unfortunately not accepted.

Check‑In & Check‑Out

Check‑in is from 2:00 PM. Arrived early? Drop your bags and head to the beach. Check‑out is by 10:00 AM. Tide waits for no one.

To the Party Animals

This is a chilled, nature‑based hostel. Excessive partying, drugs, or disrespecting staff, animals, or the local community will get you shown the sandy exit.

The “You’re Choosing Adventure” Indemnity (With a Smile)

Welcome to Dune Beach Hostel — remote, wild, and wonderfully real. By staying with us, you acknowledge that adventure tourism comes with risks. Let’s be clear (and friendly) about those.

Here’s the Deal

1. Nature Is in Charge: This is rural coastal Mozambique. Expect sand, insects, heat, wind, waves, horses, and the occasional power or water interruption.
2. Ocean Smarts Required: Swimming and surfing are at your own risk. Ocean conditions can change quickly — listen to staff advice at all times.
3. Horse Sense: Horse interactions, riding, or swimming with horses involve inherent risks. Always follow instructions. No experience? Speak up.
4. Remote Reality: Medical facilities are limited and far away. You travel and stay here fully aware of this.
5. Follow Instructions: Any safety briefings, signage, or staff instructions are there for a reason. Ignoring them is on you.
6. Indemnity: Dune Beach Hostel, its owners, staff, volunteers, and partners accept no liability for injury, illness, loss, damage, theft, or death arising from your stay or participation in activities.
7. Malaria Awareness: This is a malaria area. Bring prophylaxis, repellent, and common sense.
8. Agreement by Presence: By staying, participating in activities, or even chilling in a hammock, you agree to all of the above.

Made it this far? Respect. We’re excited to have you.

See you in the sand,
