Summer is in full swing and most of us are looking to spend a day or two somewhere with nippy weather after quarantine eases up. You’re in luck because a Camper and Cabin is offering a couple of plush mountainside glass cabins in Batangas, each with its own private pool!
Camper and Cabin is the same Airbnb superhost that offers the Philippines’ first Airstream accommodation, which is located in the premises too.
Location
The two cabins were built on a mountainside spot in Calaca, Batangas, which sits halfway between Cavite and Batangas. Thus, guests of either cabins can enjoy the cool breeze that Tagaytay is known for and breathtaking views of the city’s lush highlands and Mt. Pico De Loro, as well as Batangas’ Mt. Talamitam and Balayan Bay. Grab a chair at the deck for sunset viewing – it truly is mesmerizing!
The cabins are located in the same premises as The Sanctuary Batulao, a pet-friendly Airbnb that’s also worth checking out!
