How do i set up varied minimum rates with extra guests

I bill per person, so I know now how to set up the rate per person per night(R370) and to charge for extra guests from 2 pax onwards -done that on smart pricing. The trick is over Peak periods where the per person rate changes(R430) and i have a minimum charge for the house per night(R3000). So from 7 pax and upwards the house is billed per person. How do i get that right? Managed to block the dates on the calendar and change the price to the minimum per night taking it off smart pricing, but it then still calculates the extra person from 2 onwards.  

Please help

@Bronwyn42 While you can change the nightly rate directly on the calendar, fees (cleaning or extra guests) calculated through the automatic system are not changeable according to the season or dates.  However, you could add a description of a fee that is seasonal, for example, you can charge a 15% surcharge for high demand dates that you collect through the request/refund option once there is a reservation.  Because guests often do not read the description thoroughly, it would be best for you to confirm the guest understands the extra charge and agrees to pay it.  Hope this helps 😄
