The Coffee Farmhouse

Located a few minutes away from Tagaytay City proper is a family owned coffee farm turned bed and breakfast. It is a perfect venue for company plannings, team buildings, seminars or just a weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of the Metro.

I was lucky enough to have visited the place for four times already because of work. My bosses were the ones who discovered it when they were scouting for a place for our annual company planning back in 2009. 

Where did it get its name? Well, for the obvious reason that it is a coffee farm.

I forgot most of the details on why and how this place was converted into a bed and breakfast so it's better to ask the owners. They are more than happy to share their story.

 Once you arrive, you will be welcomed at the parking lot by the owners and their staff. They will also bring your things to your room. At times, especially when we arrive late at night, Mr. Bert, the owner, does all these things. (they do not have stay-in staff)

They have a total of 8 fan-cooled rooms in varying sizes complete with T&B. I was able to stay in one of the rooms at the main house and in the dorm type room.

You can also use their bikes and twist cars (for kids and kids at heart).

The last time we were there (summer of 2012), they've added more bikes to their collection.

 There's also a table hockey and a table football.

The dining area is located at the main house where we were served delicious food cooked by Mr.  Bert's wife.

 

They can also arrange for an al fresco dining.

And a bonfire set up.

Free-flowing coffee is served throughout the duration of your stay.

Mr. Bert also offers a free 30-40 minute lecture about coffee.

The owners are very hands-on with their guests. They make you feel like staying in a relative's place.

 

Notes:

• If you're a group of 16 or up, you can have the whole place reserved.
• In need of a massage? You can either bring your own masseuse or you can inquire from the owners.
• They offer a wide selection of menu for your breakfast,  lunch, snack, and dinner. (you have to pre-select your food before the date of your arrival)
• Guests are advised to bring their own towels. 
• Photos were taken last Feb 2009, April 2009 and May 2012.
