╎╎ ✦ Samoa's Pre-Paid Cash Power System ✦ ╎╎
────────────────────────────────
※ Prepaid Electricity Meter: Homes in Samoa use a prepaid electricity meter, similar to a prepaid phone. You need to top up with voucher credits to use electricity.
※ Meter Location: The cash power meter is located outside your rental house. The display shows your available credit.
✦ Included Essentials & Additional Aircon Costs ✦
※ Complimentary Credits: Upon arrival, your meter will have complimentary credits preloaded for essential electrical utilities (lighting, TV, fans, cooking, hot water), excluding air-conditioning.
※ Air-Conditioning Costs: For your stay, each air-conditioned room, including bedrooms and the living room, will have extra charges for heavy use. Running an air conditioner non-stop in a single room may cost up to $20 Tala per day. In a 3-bedroom house with an air-conditioned living room, leaving all 4 air conditioners on continuously could add up to about $80 Tala daily. This is the maximum cost, and can be avoided by remembering to turn off the air conditioners when they're not needed.
Note: Rest assured, a simple step-by-step Cash Power top up guide as well as tips for minimizing your electricity costs during your stay will be provided in our comprehensive Guest Guide app, accessible after your booking is confirmed and our pre-check-in form is completed.
✦ Purchasing Additional Power Credits ✦
※ Where to Buy: Vouchers can be bought at local supermarkets (8am-6pm) or at Apia Central (24-hour service) after 6pm.

╎╎ ✦ Potential Noise ✦ ╎╎
─────────────────
✓ Our home is perfectly positioned near central Apia township and amenities. However, close to the main road that can be busy during morning rush and some peak times, but evenings are generally calmer.
✓ Occasionally, you might hear distant dogs barking at night, especially during their brief mating seasons, roosters crowing in the early morning, or birds chirping in the afternoon. This is a common local occurrence, but might be unfamiliar to international visitors.
✓ Our homes in Samoa typically have louver pane windows due to the warm climate, which may allow in more ambient noise compared to thicker, double-glazed windows.
✓ We value transparency and believe our location's charm and convenience will ensure a memorable stay.
