About Us
Guest Quarters and Amenities
Our home has a 30 square meter guest quarters with a king bed, single bed, sofa/bed, air conditioning, flat screen tv, desk, private fish pond with waterfall, and a private roof deck with views of the ocean, sunrise and sunset. We have a swimming pool and deck, with direct access to the rock beach and ocean. Since we live on the edge of the sea, you are welcome to walk out of your room and go snorkeling, visit caves along the beach, and observe foraging sea turtles. We also have a smaller "round house" room with a full size bed, fan and shared bathroom.
Environs
Our home is in a quiet area of the countryside so simply relaxing and soaking up the sun or stars and listening to the crickets and waves can be a regular past time. We can introduce you to our local filipino neighbors and a taste of rural filipino living. Within the compound we have a bevy of rabbits wandering the grounds, as well as a golden retriever, a couple of cats, and two young children.
Location
We are located in Tag-ibo Barangay, where within a few hundred meters walking distance there are local filipino stores and eateries. The municipality of San Juan, with its greater tourist offerings of restaurants, bars and clubs, is a couple of kilometers away. You reach our home by walking or riding a motorbike down a 150 kilometer path to our gated compound from the Siquijor circumference highway.
Callachuchi Explained
The Callachuchi flower provides the logo and name for the Callachuchi Homestay. Several Callachuchi plants thrive in the family compound. The first two rabbits that started our small rabbit colony were also named Calla and Chuchi. The plant is known in the islands for its natural beauty and hardiness, its medicinal properties, and its use at vigils.
Important Homestay Info
Our premises are totally solar powered. Therefore:
- We are unable to provide on demand water heating for your shower. The temperature of the water ranges from hot during the day to cool at night.
- Air Conditioning at night is set for a temperature of 27 degrees C. or above. We find this a comfortable temperature and it is within the parameters of our system. If you need lower temperatures than this in the evening, we suggest finding other quarters.
