A card charge from “MARGARET RIVER RET Card” is likely related to a booking or on‑site spend at Margaret River Retreat, such as payment for accommodation (studios or glamping tents), event packages, retreats, weddings, or associated food and beverage purchases. Guests may pay deposits in advance, settle their balance at check‑in or check‑out, or be charged for event fees or extras like catering, additional cleaning, or damages as outlined in the property’s terms and conditions.

If you have questions about a charge, the best approach is to first match it against any confirmation emails or invoices from margaretriverretreat.com.au, and check the dates you or family members stayed or attended an event there. You can also contact the retreat directly using the phone number or contact form on their official website for billing clarification, refunds, or corrections. Providing your booking name, stay dates, and the last four digits of the card will help them locate the transaction. If you suspect fraud and cannot link the charge to any stay, retreat, or event, contact your card issuer to dispute the transaction and monitor for any additional unauthorized activity.
