The Entire Homestead,
All Yours
One booking, one group, one entire one-hectare farmstead — four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a lap pool, and a free-range farm. No shared facilities. No other guests.
Everything the
Homestead Offers
The Red Hen Homestead is a private two-storey Filipino heritage home on one hectare of working farm in the foothills of Mt. Banoy. Your group has exclusive access to every corner of the property — inside and out, from sunrise to sunrise.
The Bedrooms
Master Bedroom
The finest room in the homestead — a queen-sized bed, an en-suite bathroom, and garden views that reward early risers.
Second Bedroom
A comfortable queen-bedded room with air-conditioning — quiet, well-ventilated, and ideal for couples or solo travellers who value their own space.
Third Bedroom
A versatile air-conditioned room with twin beds — easily configured for families with young children or a pair of friends who each want their own bed.
The Fan Room
The most provincial room in the homestead — nipa-and-wood construction, single beds, and a ceiling fan in place of aircon. The mountain air here genuinely does the work, especially during the cool ber months.
The Farm Experience
Is Part of the Stay
The farm is not a backdrop. It is an active, living part of the homestead, and guests are genuinely welcome to participate. The chickens, ducks, and geese that wander the property are free-range — they move where they please, and at feeding time, they are eager company.
The permaculture vegetable garden produces the herbs, greens, and seasonal vegetables that find their way to the breakfast table. This is biodynamic farming in practice: nothing is forced, nothing is wasted, and everything feeds something else.
- Feed the free-range chickens, ducks, and geese
- Collect fresh eggs from the coop in the morning
- Explore the permaculture vegetable and herb garden
- Farm-to-table meals prepared using the property's own produce
- Continental, Asian, or vegetarian breakfast options on request
- Learn about biodynamic farming and rainwater harvesting
Every Amenity,
Every Corner
The homestead is fully equipped for a group that wants to settle in, slow down, and feel completely at home on the farm.
25-Metre Lap Pool
Clean, well-maintained, and ready year-round. The on-site caretakers keep the water pristine every single day. Swim laps at dawn or float under the stars — the pool is as much a feature as anything else on the property.
Brick Pizza Oven & BBQ Grill
The outdoor brick pizza oven is fully functional and already well-seasoned. Add a charcoal BBQ grill and you have everything needed for a proper garden feast — using vegetables from the homestead's own permaculture garden.
Fully-Equipped Indoor Kitchen
A complete indoor kitchen for groups who prefer cooking their own meals. Pair it with fresh herbs from the garden and eggs from the morning coop collection for a breakfast made entirely on-property.
Massage & Spa Hut
An on-site massage hut offering full-body, head, back, neck, foot, and hand massages. Available on prior arrangement. Best enjoyed after an afternoon hike, an evening in the pool, or simply whenever the body asks for it.
Mt. Banoy Guided Hike
A 15-minute guided trail ascent to the summit of Mt. Banoy, where a 360° panorama opens over Batangas Bay, Mt. Maculot, Mt. Makiling, and the Lobo mountains. A separate sunset viewpoint is available for a more leisurely experience.
Open-Air Outdoor Bathroom
One of the homestead's quieter pleasures — a fully functional outdoor bathroom open to the sky and the garden air. Particularly magical on clear nights, or after a morning hike when the property is still damp with dew.
Solar Power & Rainwater Harvesting
The homestead runs entirely off the grid on solar energy with zero utility reliance. Rainwater is harvested and channelled to the garden. This is the infrastructure of a property that takes its ecological responsibilities seriously.
On-Site Caretaker Kuyas
Two dedicated on-site caretakers — locally known as kuyas — who have become a defining part of the homestead experience. Guest reviews repeatedly cite their warmth, their initiative, and their genuine investment in making each stay exceptional.
Farm-to-Table Meals & Breakfast
Continental, Asian, or vegetarian breakfast options available on request. Farm-to-table meals can be arranged using the homestead's own produce — eggs from the coop, greens from the garden, herbs from the permaculture beds.
