KAHILOM NEST

Kahilom, a Visayan word meaning silence, peace, or serenity, embodies this tranquil retreat. Located on the 2nd floor, this 80 sqm apartment is perfect for those seeking peace and a place to create precious memories with loved ones. Upon entering, you'll find an inviting living room leading to the dining area and kitchen. A sliding door opens to the back porch, offering fresh air and a connection with nature.

Explore the short hallway on your left to discover three cozy bedrooms:

  • A double room with two double beds.
  • The Master Bedroom with an En Suite Bathroom and forest view.
  • A small room with a three-fourths bed and forest view, perfect for two.

The Hallway Bathroom is small but functional.The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with a four-burner stove, pots and pans, a toaster, rice cooker, kettle, and French press.

Saya, meaning fun and happiness in Tagalog, perfectly captures the spirit of Saya Nest! This cheerful 40 sqm apartment on the first floor is your ideal retreat. Step into a lively living room, separated from the kitchen by a playful bar. A sliding door leads to the side yard with an outdoor bathtub and dining area, plus ample parking for motorcycles.

The cozy bedroom features an air-conditioner and plenty of shelves. Our favorite spot? The charming bathroom with its arched divider.

Jiva, from the Sanskrit 'jīv' meaning 'to breathe' or 'to live,' embodies tranquility. Tucked at the back of the house on the first floor, Jiva Nest offers a serene retreat.

Step into a cozy kitchen flowing into the bedroom through a narrow hallway. The end of the hallway features a folding door, revealing a staircase to the second-floor apartment, where you might hear your group enjoying the Kahilom porch. The bedroom includes an air-conditioner and a desk for remote work. The bathroom, though small, has a spacious shower.
