Restore yourself in a striking Quonset style house tucked away in Malarayat mountains. Appease your mind in a 6000sqm private forest less then 20min from Lipa City. Enjoy your own homemade pizza baking in our charcoal fired brick oven. Please your family with even the largest of meals cooking in our fully stocked kitchen. Be rewarded by a stunning view overlooking Lipa's valley after a short climb to Mt Malarayat summit. ✓ Bring fresh air into your life. ✓ Spend some family time in Ginhawa! ✓ And finally enjoy a moment of FREEDOM, far from your ENSLAVING routine. To describe the place better, Ginhawa is a coffee farm located at the foot of Mount Malarayat. It is a unique and very diverse tropical forest habitat. Truly a paradise for nature enthusiasts and the perfect retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Mount Malarayat is located in Lipa, Batangas, a mountain plateau, 86km south of Manila. Malarayat is where the first coffee beans were introduced and planted by the Spaniards in the 15th century. It is also home to the Philippine palm civet (Musang). You might see one in the property! ;)
I love being an host because it allows me to create unforgettable memories for my guests. Seeing families and friends come together and have an amazing time in my place. It's just a beautiful thing! My goal is to make my place a memorable spot that people will never forget. And when I read a great review, it makes all the hard work worth it. Being a host is more than just a job, it's a way to spread happiness.
