This Nest is cooler than most indoor spaces as the roof cools the house even on hot days. There are nooks to lie back and relax - read a book, write a blog, or work from home. We're on the B SIDE (the left side) of an old stilt house along the main road in Lower Cubi. There are three PARKING slots (marked Kahilom, Saya, and Jiva) in the front of the house. From the garage, the entrances are marked, and Jiva is around THE BACK. The famous FRUIT BATS of Subic Bay now live in the tree directly above our house, so you will see, hear, and smell them when you arrive. These three Nests are perfect for FAMILIES and FRIENDS, giving each their own space, while being under one roof. >>KAHILOM NEST is an approx 80 sqm apartment on the 2nd floor.

DISCOUNTS Our guests often regret not booking longer, so we've added in discounts for stays of 2 nights or more. The longer you stay, the bigger the discount. Treat yourself to that extra day! What's more, if you book within 6 days prior to your booking date, you are automatically granted a 20% discount. DAYTIME GUESTS We charge a daytime guest fee of P500 per guest. Please let us know if you will be entertaining guests in our Nest. CONDENSATION Due to the green roof we have installed on the house, and the high humidity in the area, when the air conditioners are on during the rainy season, condensation collects on the walls and ceiling of the bedrooms. To avoid this happening, we suggest guests limit the use of air conditioners, open the windows, and enjoy the cool rainforest air. SHOWER There is only one bathroom, and large groups tend to splash a lot! The shower design is not the best for messy bathers, so some water sometimes ends up on the wrong side of the bathroom. WORKSHOP We have a small workshop in the corner of the house, near the road. You may hear some minor work going on there in the weekdays, but it’s mostly used for storage. THE HOUSE Our home is an old Navy stilt house. The entire house is split into 6 AirBNB units. The house may be old, but it was built by the US Navy to withstand air raids. It's extremely sound, and newly renovated. REBOOKING In line with our firm cancellation policy, we do not allow rebooking less than 2 weeks before your stay. CLEANING AND SHEET CHANGES In our effort to reduce unnecessary use resources, cleaning and sheet changes are conducted every 3 days for longer stays. Should you want your sheets to be changed daily, this can be arranged for an extra cleaning fee. PETS Please CLEAN UP after your pets. For guests booked in Opal Building and Rainforest Nest, the Crown Peak Management is imposing a P5,000 waste fine in common use areas such as, and not limited to, hallways, parks and sidewalks within the Crown Peak area.
