Guesthouse holiday rentals in Asia

What's one thing you look for when you are searching for say a cottage or a cabin or a homestay? Quietness, serenity with a pinch of belonging. Property at birdwood cottages provide you just that, situated away from the hustle bustle of the city and also the crowded Mall road of Dalhousie, this place submits you to just relax. Great location, beautiful interiors, great caretakers who make great home made food of your choice. touristy spots are not too far away, ample car parking place, good wifi. The best part of the stay has to be the 2-3 km flat trail circuit in the woods to rejuvenate your mornings. i think late September to early December is the best time to enjoy the flora & fauna of this place before the snow engulfs the area.

The place looks exactly as it is described and in the photos. It is easy to find because it has its own tag in Google Maps and Waze. It is also easy to communicate with the host as she is very responsive

We had an amazing experince at this place. The surroundings were peaceful and privtae surrounded by greenery. Cristova and the caretaker Rina were very sweet and helpful and made us feel at home. I would definitely come back to this place and hapily recommend it to friends and family.

So neat and tidy, you feel like talking a shower as soon as you check in. Vinesh and his lovely caretaker Appaji make sure comfort is not something you need to worry about at his humble abode. The house is well located, giving you the option to stay put in Panchgani or drive further to Mahableshwar. The medical is just down the street for any emergencies and the service of delivery apps allow you to sit back and order in while you soak in the wind and views. I sure am, will be revisiting every season of the year!

Very nice property and an amazing host. Felt like home away from home.

I felt like the place was well-maintained. It was a pity that it rained and I couldn't use the lawn in front of me, but the nearby natural scenery was beautiful, and I left relaxing memories with my family for the first time in a long time. The cat, not the cat near the house, was so cute. I had a good rest. ^ ~ ^

Great place, nice modern unit that is well provided for travelers…. Good large fridge and an abundance of towels. Pool to use and eayt access to road to Valencia and Dumaguete. Have been to Dumaguete previously and can happily recommend Bigler. Also , great bird song in the mornings if you listen.

Thank you for the warm welcome and for making our stay so wonderful! We truly enjoyed our time at your place—especially my kids, who had such a great time. The beach was absolutely beautiful, clean, and safe, which made it perfect for family fun and relaxation. Your team’s responsiveness and proactive approach really stood out. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything was smooth and thoughtfully handled. It was clear that you truly care about your guests' experience. And I have to say, your staff made all the difference. Everyone we interacted with was so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. They created such a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Looking forward to coming back someday!

We had an amazing stay at Sarah's place! Host and caretaker were very friendly and accommodating and the place was really nice! Very home-y vibes, clean room, TV with YouTube & Netflix, clean bathroom, mini ref, small kitchen and lots of utensils! Beaches was also super close, close to the bayan area (lots of places to eat, ATMs and groceries). One of the downsides were the power outage that was scheduled 4 hours before our checkout but other than that we loved it! We will definitely rebook here once we plan another beach trip to Batangas. 🫶

My only regret? Not booking for longer. This place was an absolute gem. Saif sent a Google maps link prior to our arrival which was really helpful as I don’t think we could have done it without that link. The chalet overlooks the motorway and out to the sea. Don’t be put off by that road, it’s so very quiet, 3-4 cars a minute in the evening, and the view from the terrace upstairs grabs all the attention anyway! The place is exactly as it looks on the pictures, spotless and well maintained but the real gem, the real star of the show is Sarath. Sarath is the most friendly, kind and helpful man I have met in a long time, nothing was too much trouble. He seems to appear just when you think you might have a question, otherwise, you don’t see him. I wasn’t sure about how I felt having someone so close by -he lives on site- but it’s really not intrusive at all. He also provided a super breakfast before we left.

This is our second time visiting the place and it never disappoints. We'll definitely coming back. If you're looking for a quiet and private getaway, this is the best place for you.

Shiella Mae was really helpful and really fast at replying messages. The house was really clean and modern and it had all the amenities.

Had a fantastic stay at this condo! The place was clean, well-maintained, and had the amenities needed for a comfortable visit. The location was great, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy and convenient stay!

I had an amazing experience staying at this property! The cleanliness was absolutely pristine—every corner was spotless, and it felt fresh and well-maintained. It’s clear that great attention to detail goes into keeping the place in top condition. A special mention to Ate Jhoan, the caretaker, who was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. She made sure we had everything we needed and was always just a message away if we had any questions. Her warm hospitality truly made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-kept, and hassle-free stay. Will definitely be coming back!

My family and our dogs—especially our dogs—had an amazing time at the farm. The place is incredibly beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of animals to meet and activities to enjoy. From karaoke to exploring waterfalls, breathtaking sightseeing, and ATV rides, there’s something for everyone. Mr. Navyvan, the host, was very responsive to all my inquiries, and Ate Angie, the helper, was exceptionally kind. She even offered to pick up items from the market and accompanied us to the waterfalls. It was truly a wonderful experience for us all, and I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy nature with their family and fur babies. Thank you, Mr. Navyvan! We hope to return soon.

Our stay at Villa Vistazo was truly unforgettable. Beautiful location, mountain view, and wonderful amenities. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the host's exceptional helpfulness. Thank you so much sir Francis for your exceptional service, Unexpected happened but sir Francis was there helping us and assisted us.We really appreciate your help. Highly recommended place and we'll be back. Thank you.

Good Place to stay. I'd say very peaceful. Host is super responsive and friendly. Interiors are very good, Cleanliness is on point. Overall i liked it and totally recommend it :) made my 29th birthday memorable 😁

This is a great place to stay very near the beach. The house is spacious, clean and bright. The bedrooms are big and the beds comfortable. The 2 shower rooms are clean and user friendly. Plenty of towels are provided. The host is very friendly (despite no common language) and responded to our requests promptly.

A beautiful and peaceful place to experience the authentic Philippines, far away from the typical tourist crowds. The lovely garden is located right by the sea, and the accommodation is very clean and well-maintained. The place has also been recently renovated. The hosts, Megan and Abe, are extremely kind and helpful. Abe is a very calm and balanced person, while Megan radiates positivity and has a heartfelt smile that lights up over her whole face.

Great host. Not only did they provide a great stay, they also introduced the surrounding food and attractions, it felt like home, highly recommended! My family and I are very grateful to the host.

Ours host’s space was clean and very welcoming. The area was peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. My only note would be the check in process was a little confusing but I think that is just my unfamiliarity with pensions and where building staff reside as a foreigner. However once we connected with the host we were taking care of immediately with no problems. I would recommend checking in with host when you arrive if you are a foreigner staying in this space so they can connect you with the building staff. Would absolutely stay again when in the Seogwipo area in the future.

Overall the stay was simply superb. Also the location is very near to most of the important places I wanted to visit. Owner is very much responsive and we felt it's the safe to stay. Enjoyed the stay of 4 days. Thank you Telukunti sir.

I had a comfortable stay. It's a small neighborhood, but there are good cafes and restaurants, so it would be nice to live for a month. He introduced me well how to get in, but I was a little lost when I found the entrance. As soon as I turned on the boiler, it warmed up quickly, and there was also an electric pad, so I slept warmly.

A calm and peaceful ambiance with a homely affection.
