Savatan Homestay: Room PAYIN on Ground Floor

~ Stepping on a foreign land can be a daunting task for some. Not with a place that literally means "a place to arrive". While at Batanes, you'll soon discover why tourists flock to Savatan Homestay and extend a day or two. The scenic view of Mount Iraya isn't bad either. ~ Savatan Homestay is walking distance or a tricycle's ride away from the airport, church, plaza, beach, and Basco Lighthouse. You'll find it convenient that it's a couple of steps to Philippine National Bank (PNB) and ATM. ~ Located on the GROUND FLOOR, this is a perfect place for senior citizens or those with bad knees to settle in. Whether you're a solo traveler or with your favorite travel buddies/family members, you'll find Savatan Homestay a real gem considering that all of your needs will be met. ~ 3 beds include: (1) DOUBLE-sized and (2) SINGLE-sized beds await you and your family or friends. For the 5th pax, a single-sized pullout will be given. Each bedroom comes with its own private bathroom (located outside just outside the room. Still private, absolutely not shared with anyone else), complete with a hot and cold shower. After spending the entire day outside, you'll want to come home, refresh with a hot shower and snuggle into those inviting covers. Feel free to watch your favorite channel on cable tv. ~ Once booked, you will have the assigned room to yourselves so that means absolutely no SHARING with other guests. Please take note that the common areas like the balcony, living and dining areas will be shared with other guests. It's the perfect place to make friends with others. ~ Catch the stunning sunset out on the veranda where you'll find the best view of Mount Iraya. Catch up on the latest events while watching the tv on the lazy chair found in the living area. You can even take a brisk walk out in the spacious garden after a heavy meal. ~ Please be reminded that there is 1 COMPLIMENTARY breakfast. All succeeding ones will be charged. Payment shall be given directly to Ate Chit. ~ The kitchen is temporarily closed for guests so no cooking for now. We are setting a separate kitchen for the guests. Refill your glasses/bottles using the water dispenser. ~ Still not convinced? Check out their items found at the mini Honesty Store :) When buying desired item's, please leave the payment in the small container. ~ The awesome owners live on the property so make sure you say hello to them! Meet the friendly owners of Savatan Homestay, Tito Ben and Tita Agnes :) If they're not at home, friendly Ate Janese will be there to greet you! ~ The entire house is surrounded by a lush garden with enough space for you to do some walking. Every morning, you can count on waking up to a gorgeous view of Mount Iraya. ~ The neighborhood is so quiet that you really can count on getting the much-wanted sleep that you've been craving so much. ~ Since the kitchen is temporarily off-limits, you can check out these places on where to eat: - Batanes Octagon Bed & Dine Restaurant - Harbor Cafe - Shanedel's Inn & Cafe - Cafe Vituhen Batanes - Casa Napoli Pizza - Highly recommended place to do some 'pasalubong' (souvenir) shopping? I would recommend Tawsen Souvenir Shop. - If you need to get from point A to B, please get the BATODA hotline from us. It's Uber or Grab for tricycles. All you have to do is call them and they'll send a tricycle with a corresponding number. - You may rent bicycles or motorcycles on a daily rate. If you'd like this, please ask us so that we provide assistance. ~ If you're not in a hurry to get around, walking around the town proper is also a popular choice. Basco is a small town so you'll find your way around in no time :) PLEASE READ: ~ FREE airport transfers via tricycle/van (depending on the number of guests) ~ (1) COMPLIMENTARY breakfast upon departure. On the succeeding days, breakfast is AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST at PHP150/pax/meal. If you'd like to avail breakfast, please let Ate Chit know at least the day before so she can prepare your meals. ~ Rate shown is good for 2pax only. Additional PHP500/pax/night after the 2nd head. Maximum of 5pax. A single-sized pullout will be given. Please input the correct number of pax so that you'll be charged accordingly. ~ Room is subject to availability. If it's not available, we'll recommend you to other rooms that are available. ~ Tours are available upon request but are charged separately from the accommodation. Please inquire ahead of reservation dates so we can schedule a tour for you. ~ Please respect the check-in and check-out times of the homestay. The bedroom and restroom need to be cleaned for incoming guests as well. Just in case if the assigned room is still being cleaned, you can utilize the common areas of our homestay or you may leave your luggage first and explore the town on foot. ~ Cellphone signal is intermittent at times. Smart's LTE is up and working. However, it may be a tad difficult for Globe users though :( ~ For those dependent on internet usage, I would recommend bringing a Smart pocket Wi-Fi but please don't expect the connection to be stable compared to the mainland. ~ Savatan Homestay is perfect for big groups and events. Just ask for details :)
