Our story is one of aspiration and dedication. It all began with a teenage dream to explore and improve her hometown of Hungduan, Ifugao. Norma's journey took her to Australia, where she pursued nursing studies, worked, and raised six children, all while keeping a promise to one day give back to her roots. Five decades later, that promise has blossomed into reality, with the creation of our exceptional hotel and restaurant. Designed to accommodate weary travellers, we offer a place to rest and recharge as they explore the remote beauty of Hungduan and beyond.
Our new building, completed in February 2024 and opening in April 2024, reflects our commitment to merging modern comforts with the rich heritage of Ifugao Province. We have designed our space to offer a blend of contemporary amenities and a deep appreciation for the cultural and natural beauty of the region. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered providing our guests with a unique and enriching experience.
Our success is the result of a dedicated team of six staff members who work alongside us to bring our vision to life. Together, we strive to create a welcoming environment where every guest can enjoy exceptional comfort and immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings of Ifugao. Each team member plays a vital role in ensuring that your experience with us is both memorable and fulfilling.
We are more than just a place to stay; we offer an opportunity to connect with the heritage and natural wonders of Ifugao Province. Our commitment extends beyond providing excellent service; we aim to share a piece of our story and invite you to experience the harmony between history and modernity. Join us in celebrating our journey and creating lasting memories in a setting that honors the past while embracing the present.
