The place has 3 rooms, each with different sizes to accommodate groups of different sizes. Each room has bamboo single and bunk beds cushioned with foam.
There are fishermen’s boats in front of the B&B which gives you easy access to local fishermen’s fresh catch but it’s still only 2 minutes away from a good swimming area.
Unlike most Airbnbs in Batangas, this B&B is pet-friendly so your fur baby won’t miss out on all the fun.
During the lockdowns, only guests aged 15 to 65 are allowed in the B&B. You’re also required to bring a medical certificate which you can acquire at your barangay health office.
