Kelana Nest Camper is located in the garden of our Rainforest Nest, which is a large house with 6 AirBNB units in it.

The famous FRUIT BATS of Subic Bay now live in the tree directly above our house, so you will see, hear, and smell them when you arrive.

Upon entering the garden, you will see the camper, where we have a Queen-sized bed. The space is equipped with an AIR-CONDITIONER and a desk for remote work.

Beside the camper, our Shed has NOOKS to lie back and relax - read a book, write a blog, or work from home. There is a desk and benches for working or eating.

The KITCHENETTE is small but functional. There's an electric stove for cooking, and a couple of pots and pans. There is a toaster and a rice cooker. There's a kettle and a FRENCH PRESS for your morning coffee.

Subic Water is POTABLE. The sink drains out to a greywater system which feeds the side yard. Our soaps are all eco friendly. :)

The BATHROOM is on the other side of the driveway, between the bamboo fence and the aqua wall. This bathroom is exclusively for Kelana.

Kelana Nest Camper, with a kitchenette, shed, and bathroom is your PRIVATE HOME for the duration of your stay.

The camper has a QUEEN BED and ample pillows and sheets. Towels are provided for each guest.

The BATHROOM is across the driveway. The WATER PRESSURE is strong, and there is hot and cold water, and a bidet!

Our LIVING ROOF keeps the space cool, with cozy nooks for reading, blogging, or enjoying the treetops and fruit bats. Wake up to nature's sounds, fresh air, and the rainforest's gentle symphony.

The KITCHEN includes SELF-SERVICE BREAKFAST. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast of homemade sourdough bread, peanut butter with cacao, eggs, bananas, and our exclusive Mindanao coffee blend. The WATER is potable, and most residents drink from the tap.

This house is equipped with two FIBER INTERNET providers and STARLINK backup for continuous online access. Because we live in such a woody area, sometimes our internet connections are disconnected by monkeys or falling trees.

The ROOF is a nice spot to chill in the daytime, and features a couple of swings, and we place hammocks out there when it’s not raining.

Kelana guests can access a nearby POOL for a fee, and a LAUNDROMAT is available just a few blocks away. There are a couple of CONVENIENCE STORES and a small EATERY just up the hill from our Nest.

We live 20 minutes from our Rainforest Nest, and our office is just 2 minutes away, but our HOUSEKEEPING staff will also be around during work hours. Feel free to approach them for any assistance you might need.

Our village is home to mostly FOREIGN RESIDENTS who enjoy the peace and quiet of Subic Bay. They are quite friendly and may approach you for a chat. Please be nice to them! We like to maintain a good relationship with our neighbours.

Rainforest Nest is not just a retreat for humans—our nosy neighbors, THE MONKEYS, love it here too! These mischievous critters are always up for some monkey business.

A FRIENDLY TIP for our nature-loving guests: keep your food indoors and out of reach when the MONKEYS are around. They're quite the opportunists and love a good snack! Remember, it's best NOT TO PROVOKE or challenge these cheeky creatures if they get close. And most importantly, please AVOID FEEDING them any food—let's keep our wild friends wild!

>Ideal for guests with vehicles, taxis can be pricey

>Forest wildlife such as monkeys, bats, insects, birds and reptiles

>Power and Internet interruptions during bad weather

>Noise Restrictions, no loud parties, no karaoke

>Alcohol restrictions, no hard liquor

>Bambikes for rent

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!

What's more, if you book within 6 days prior to your booking date, you are automatically granted a 20% discount.

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.

FACADE

Our home is an old Navy stilt house. The entire house is split into 6 AirBNB units. The house may be old, but it was built by the US Navy to withstand air raids. It's extremely sound, and newly renovated.

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.

PETS

Please CLEAN UP after your pets. For guests booked in Opal Building and Rainforest Nest, the Crown Peak Management is imposing a P5,000 waste fine in common use areas such as, and not limited to, hallways, parks and sidewalks within the Crown Peak area.

Don’t mind the barking dogs- they are just doing their jobs. They won’t harm you.

If you are arriving at night, please be warned the forest is pretty dark! Don’t be alarmed, we’ve got 3 different security agencies patrolling the area, and there’s nothing too dangerous out there. :)
