- Pets are welcome, so the whole family can come along.

- The pool, sauna and play area belong to the Ekantam 3BHK and are shared with its guests. Please be considerate of other guests.

- The cottage is surrounded by greenery, so moths and insects may come in after sunset if doors are left open. Please keep doors and windows closed in the evening.
- As the house is in a rural area, power cuts are common, especially in the monsoon. A diesel generator powers all appliances and needs a 30-minute cool-down after every 3 hours of running. An inverter powers everything except the AC, microwave and fridge.

- WiFi has a 2GB daily data limit and may slow down when many devices are connected.
- There are a few steps between the living room and the bedroom, so take care with young children and elderly guests.
