A grill has been recently added below the main gate to ensure strays do not interrupt your stay with us. The caretaker will be staying 24x7 throughout your stay in separate quarters on the same property for safety and security reasons. Given the weather conditions, you might spot a few insects/reptiles that can be mistaken for snakes but aren't harmful or poisonous at all. While we strive to offer you the best experience, we cannot do much in such cases. Should there be any inconvenience, please feel free to inform the caretaker. Considering the unique location of the villa, Internet connectivity can get affected due to falling of trees, heavy rains or other causes. In case of a power outage or fluctuations, generators can be switched on. However, power outages or fluctuations due to weather, regional restrictions, etc. are beyond our control. Hence, diesel charges for genset operation will need to be paid by the guests after 8 hrs of usage, the prices for further usage will be INR 800 per hour. The genset needs to be switched off for 30 mins, after every two hours of usage, to avoid a breakdown. As the monsoon season approaches and the coastal winds blow, we wanted to take a moment to inform you about a possibility that comes with this beautiful weather: power outages. At SaffronStays, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. In anticipation of potential power interruptions, our diligent villa staff will be on standby to ensure your stay remains uninterrupted. Our reliable power backup system will kick in swiftly. To maintain the stability of the backup system and protect all our guests, we kindly request your cooperation in refraining from using certain high-power-consuming appliances such as air conditioners and geysers during these periods. We only sell this home with all the 6 rooms, if you wish to book fewer rooms.
