Perched on a hilltop, the tiny house overlooks the forested slopes of D’Aguilar National Park. Wander the gardens, orchards, rainforest, or spot turtles at our dams. Our holiday homes offer a peaceful retreat, surrounded by nature.  
  
A cozy 139-square-foot tiny house with fresh linen and pillows, easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.
