SILEO Balamban in Cebu City

ABBEY: Honestly, I forgot the name of the place where this beautiful house is located. But I do know that it is an hour travel from Cebu city proper and you will go up, yes up not north as it is on top of a hill. 

It's a 3-storey house; guest rooms with toilet and bath at level one. Next storey is dining, kitchen and living room. And on the top is a library and the master's bedroom. Since it is on a hill, the second floor acts as the main one. 

A veranda will give you a good view of adjacent hills. In early mornings, fog engulfs this space. There is a nearby restaurant which offers not only food but have "anger and fear management" activities. You can throw a plate on the wall if you're angry or conquer your fear by riding the zipline. The place is very good for relaxing and vacation.









WILL: Hey Cebuanos are you envious of people in Luzon because they have Baguio City? Look no further. You also have Balamban that Manila boys and girls are eyeing for their next vacation trip.

When we get there at Cebu, John’s mom is our host, Mommy Coy. She lent us car and their rest house up above Mount Manunggal for a night. We went there late that we never got a chance to have a glimpse of the whole area. When we arrived at their home, we were shocked to see the food waiting for us. It’s a feast!

The famous lechon Cebu was there, wine, rice and a lot more that our tummies cannot afford to take more. After our dinner we stayed outside for some wine. We talked, laughed and reminisced. It is November and the weather is so freezing cold. The breeze is cold as Baguio City but fresher.

After finishing our drinks we went to our rooms and awed with joy. Shocks! In my head, I am thinking is this a hotel or  just a house? We are so lucky to experienced this stay here! I told to myself by tomorrow I will ask Mommy Coy how much she invested in this magnificent home.

Sun rose and we were all up. Showered and went to Adventure Cafe. After our zip line escapade we went back to the Sileo and saw Mommy Coy. The ever warm and all-smile Mommy Coy. We talked about the house and more plans for the home. We told her that the rest house is awesome and why not help the others to experience also the wonderful time we had while staying in her home. Abbey and I confess that we want also a home that exactly like that. A peaceful home surrounded by green scenery.

Now readers, we are so excited to announce that this resthouse is open for public. Bed and Breakfast Style. We personally recommend for you to stay and know for yourself the amazing and serene time we had in this place.

Adventure Cafe - Balamban Cebu

ABBEY: My feet got cold and hands sweating when I knew that we will be zipping the line. With all her powers, Wilma convinced me "again" to go for this thrill-ride. The place was called The Adventure Cafe. 

Putting the harness makes me more nervous. When we were called at the platform, I muster all the bravery left and went for the ride. Maybe it was my weight that made zipping not too fast; made me to enjoy seeing the greens and ravine below. The experience was exhilarating. One round-trip costs 150php.










WILL: First of all we want to thank John,s mom for letting us stay for a night in their rest house at Balamban. We felt how the rich people live their lives in a day. A simple thank you is not enough, Mommy Coy. 
     So we are at Balamban; Cebu's Baguio. This is the highest pick here in Cebu and we are glad to know that we can stay a night for free with free dinner and free breakfast. This is the life. We are already there so why not try Balamban's zip line.
     Walking distance from the house is the Adventure Cafe, wherein you can find a restaurant that caters a magnificent views of trees   and can feel the fresh cold air against your skin. Grrrrrrr, so cold. 
Abbey finally gave in to try the zip line. Wohoooo! A good experience,  a tension buster, an "I am free from stress" thing. 
     This costs P150 for two way zip. Well for us it is free, courtesy of Mommy Coy, again. She is part owner of this cafe. You can reach the Adventure Cafe +639996812339 or like their facebook page
