Guest access
Our Hillside Nest is your PRIVATE HOME FOR the duration of your stay. This 3-bedroom apartment has all the amenities that cater to family and friends and more. It also comes with its own dedicated CARPORT where you may park your vehicle.

The BEDROOMS have ultra-comfy beddings with ample pillows. Top-quality towels are provided for each guest.

Wake up to the delight of a complimentary SELF-SERVE BREAKFAST. Indulge in home-made SOURDOUGH bread, fresh FRUIT, fresh EGGS, calamansi JUICE, locally-sourced ARABICA & ROBUSTA coffee, and a comforting bowl of chocolate porridge or CHAMPORADO. The water is POTABLE, and most residents drink from the tap.

The BATHROOMS have excellent water pressure and a centralized hot and cold water system.

DISCOUNTS
Our guests often regret not booking longer, so we've added in discounts for stays of 2 nights or more. The longer you stay, the bigger the discount. Treat yourself to that extra day!

DAYTIME GUESTS
We charge a daytime guest fee of P500 per guest. Please let us know if you will be entertaining guests in our Nest.

DOGS
Tedd and Pepper, our energetic labradoodles sometimes live upstairs in our Tuki Nest, which we also rent on AirBNB.

CATS
When the dogs are not around, there are some stray cats that hang around the property.

NOISE
The Tuki Nest floors are made of wood, with only a small space separating them from your ceiling, so you will most likely hear the guests or the dogs walking around up there sometimes.

Our neighbors may get loud at night. No noise is allowed past 10pm. If that happens, please let us know, so we can alert the village security guards.

REBOOKING
In line with our firm cancellation policy, we do not allow rebooking less than 2 weeks before your stay.

CLEANING AND SHEET CHANGES
In our effort to reduce unnecessary use resources, cleaning and sheet changes are conducted every 3 days for longer stays. Should you want your sheets to be changed daily, this can be arranged for an extra cleaning fee.

ACTIVITIES
Subic has great activities for all types of groups and individuals. Booked guests have access to our guide book for things to see and do around town!

Neighborhood highlights

Binictican is one of the residential hills in Subic Bay. The housing area was built for the American Navymen who were stationed here in the 70s, and you can see from the houses that it still very much looks like it did back then.

There are a couple of convenience stores nearby where you can get simple meals and basic necessities. For other needs, there are a few groceries and markets in Subic Bay CBD (Central Business District), about 15 minutes drive from the Hillside Nest.

Binictican is a great place to watch for birds, monkeys, and other wildlife.

Our Nest is a 5 minute walk to the El Kabayo trailhead, which will take you to El Kabayo waterfalls. It's quite a pleasant walk on the horse trail. You can explore Binictican on our bamboo bicycles for a rental fee of P250/bike/day. We have several bikes available.

There are several beaches nearby. Our favourite beach just a short drive from Hillside Nest, Camayan (20 minutes drive) is a nice beach with a restaurant.

For scuba diving, Subic Bay has some nice wrecks. Summer is the best time to go when the water is clearer. Camayan has a dive shop that caters to both beginners and advanced divers.

We highly recommend a speedboat day trip to the nearby coves. The dock is just 10 minutes from the house and it's the quickest way to go see the nearby beaches. More info in our guide book :)

For snorkelling and Island hopping, we recommend Zambales. Just an hour drive away, a good day trip is island hopping to Capones Island Lighthouse with a stop over at Camara Island for some snorkelling and lunch on the beach. The jump off point is Pundakit in San Antonio, Zambales. Let us know, and we'll connect you with our friends who have a boat there. Pundakit is also a great place to find surf from June-February.
