In case of disruption due to fluctuation, we have a genset which burns out beyond 6 hours of usage. So, it will be turned off after every 2 hours for 30 minutes in order for it to be used throughout the day. Considering the unique location of the villa, Internet connectivity can get affected due to falling of trees, heavy rains or other causes. Outside food is allowed. Guests are not allowed to access the kitchen except for infants with prior permission. Guests cannot invite other guests and day visitors during their stay.
