Description of the Property

This is a big property comprising several hectares in beautiful Bataan province, north west of Manila.

It can easily be reached by car, bus or ferry. For details see Location.

The residence is located in the middle of nature with wonderful views of the west Philippine sea and Mt. Natib, a National Park ideal for hiking excursions. The property is located on a hill (97 steps to be climbed) about 4 km from the sea.

We are a Filipino-German Family, and this is our Home, Farm and Garden. We chose this place because of the tropical vegetation, panoramic vistas, space and the feeling of freedom. A Caretaker Family also lives on-site and takes care of everything, also in our absence. 

Guests are invited to book available space not currently being used by us, relatives and friends.

Some of our Guests are happy to spend their entire vacation on the grounds, relaxing, chilling out, cooking, swimming and reading. Other Guests also use the property as a base for excursions or events, such as day trips to the beach, hiking in the mountains, or attending weddings in nearby resorts (see Activities for more details). It  is easy for a week to fly by and regret not having more time.

Layout

There is a main house with 2 bedrooms, one occupied by the owners, and the other is available for rent. There is also a Native House, called "Mango House" (see separate posting), a Service Block with an open kitchen, plus a lovely pool located under mango and cashew trees. In addition, there are 2 wooden structures called "The Levels", a look-out tower called "The Tower" (see Activities), and a grill/open fireplace.
Furthermore, the property includes "a jungle", a meadow, a vegetable garden, some rice fields and several beautiful fruit trees.
With all these facilities on offer, everyone can select and retreat to their own corner for their own particular activity.

This is a different world, far removed from the frenetic frenzy of the city in the serenity of nature. It is great for deep relaxation, for reading a good book, or better still, for writing one.
