Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
A mere 2 hours from Manila, rush into nature's recharging embrace in this newly renovated, cosy 1-bedroom SMALL HOME w/seaview loft. Stunningly situated atop a forested cliff overlooking Balayan & Batangas bays, it affords direct views of Maricaban & Sombrero islands. Wake up to birdsong, prepare your morning coffee in a spacious kitchen equipped with essential appliances, take the house's private stone steps down the ocean, and then swim in Anilao's famed seas frequented by turtles.

The space
Newly renovated SMALL HOME- surrounded by trees and birds atop a gentle cliff overlooking the ocean; air-conditioned 1- bedroom with en suite hot shower; seaview loft with hammock and native mat; spacious kitchen plus filtered drinking water balcony with lounge chairs and coffee table; private steps that wind down lush vegetation as your access to coral beach below.

Guest access
Host meets you upon check-in. From the main road, it's only a short walk down a gravel path to the SMALL HOME. You have the whole house to yourself, but various chatty birds frequent the place.

Other things to note
From the main road to the Small Home, it's a short distance on a gently sloping gravel path.

From the Small Home to the coral beach below, it's 242 stone steps down lush vegetation, and naturally, 242 stone steps back up- which we recommend one negotiates unhurriedly, enjoying the foliage.
