No unregistered guests without prior permission. Only guests on the reservation are allowed on the property. ✓ Quiet hours: 10 PM–7 AM ✓ No parties or large events without prior written approval ✓ Hot Water Tips in a Large Home Safari Hideaway is a large home with an extended plumbing layout, which means it may take a bit longer for hot water to reach some of the showers—especially those upstairs (the hot water will come- just be patient). This is completely normal and has been confirmed by our builder due to the long distance from the water heater.
The home is equipped with an **extra-large water heater—the largest model available for residential construction at the time of build—**so capacity is not the issue. For large groups, we simply recommend spacing out showers slightly to allow the hot water to recharge. Thanks for your understanding—just one of the small trade-offs that come with enjoying the comfort and space of a home this size and a large group!
✓ Optional Pool Heating (May & September) We typically open the pool around Memorial Day and keep it open through September, weather permitting. During the cooler parts of the season (generally May and September), optional pool heating is available for $75 per night (3-night minimum). Please request pool heating before your arrival so we have time to warm the pool.
Please note: Pool heating is intended to provide a more comfortable swimming temperature. Actual water temperature will vary depending on weather conditions, including overnight temperatures, wind, and sunshine, and cannot be guaranteed.
