How to request a record

Use the prescribed Form 2.

The Information Regulator publishes the official form and a guide explaining PAIA, fees and available remedies.

View the official PAIA guide and forms
  1. Describe the request

    Complete Form 2, identify the record, name the right to be exercised or protected and explain why the record is required for that right.

  2. Attach proof

    Include proof of identity and, if you act for someone else, proof that you are authorised to do so.

  3. Submit the form

    Send the signed form to Marelize van Wyk by email, post or delivery using the details above.

Timing and fees: a decision is ordinarily made within 30 days, subject to PAIA extensions and third-party procedures. Prescribed request, search, reproduction or access fees may apply, and the outcome notice should explain any amount due.

Records and access

Public pages need no formal request.

The accommodation, rates, privacy and PAIA pages are public and do not require a Form 2 request. No separate section 52 notice is currently relied on.

The categories below describe records that may be held. Whether a record can be disclosed depends on PAIA and the circumstances of the request.

Public website records

Published accommodation, rate, contact, privacy and PAIA information.

Enquiries and bookings

WhatsApp messages, requested dates, guest details, quotes and confirmed booking records.

Finance and payments

Invoices, receipts and payment records created for confirmed bookings.

Property operations

Any maintenance records and supplier correspondence kept for the accommodation.

Communications

Business correspondence by WhatsApp or email.

PAIA and POPIA

Policies, requests, decisions, complaints and privacy-related correspondence.

Personal information

Privacy information forms part of the manual.

The privacy page explains how information is handled when someone visits the website or sends an enquiry by WhatsApp.

Netlify processes website request information, Google processes the embedded map on the home page, and WhatsApp or Meta processes messages sent through WhatsApp. The current public website has no online booking or payment service.

Decisions and remedies

How PAIA requests are decided.

Access is not automatic. A request may or must be refused where PAIA protects another person's privacy, confidential commercial information, safety, legally privileged material or another protected category.

A private-body request has no internal appeal. If a request is refused or not answered within the applicable period, the requester may use the Information Regulator's Form 5 complaint process or seek relief from a competent court, subject to PAIA's requirements and time limits.
