We advise all guests to arrange taxis the night before travel where possible as it can become very difficult to get a taxi at short notice during peak travel times.
Peak travel times are Monday - Friday 7.00 a.m. – 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. – 7.00 p.m.
Please make sure that you advise the taxi company which apartment and block you are currently staying in. Please also let them know if you wish to be picked up from the main car park or the smaller car park.
