It was a very nice place for the whole family.... Highly recommended...

Such a peaceful location. The views and tranquility are one of a kind. The bed could have been softer, but that's my only complaint! Must love dogs! Benni wants to play all the time. There isn't much to do in the area if you don't have a car, but we managed to enjoy the slower pace of life. Highly recommend!

We stayed at Jergen's place for 6 days and she was wonderfull with us, very, very helpfull ! It have been a pleasure to take a rest in this modern house. The communication between us was perfect. We enjoyed the room with fan and air conditionning, the private bathroom, the big garden with a lot of fruit's tree, the swimming pool area, and even some rice teracces ! And even if we did'nt have a car, it's wasn't a problem ! we took a bus to Balangua, and after an jeepney to Bagac. Form the market place, a very nice caretaker Regie took us to the house. It's was very nice. See you next time in Philipina !

Perfect place for some peace and quiet. Just had the relaxing weekend we really wanted to have!

The hosts and their caretakers really ensured that our needs are well tended. It is the perfect place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the metro. If you're looking for a place that's serene and one with nature, this is well recommended! Will definitely go back here (especially for their 2 friendly dogs)!

We stayed 3 nights in the house of Jergen at the beginning of our 6-week holiday in the Philippines, and I am already convinced that this will remain the best accommodation of our trip. Liza and Thomas, the parents of Jergen, did their best to make us comfortable and showed us around. The surroundings are beautiful and quiet, which is not common in the Philippines. I would highly recommend this place to all people arriving from a weary journey by plane and a passage through congested Manila.

We had the best vacation in this home. The room is modern, spacious and clean. The view from the house is spectacular. You can spend the whole day staying there, swimming or just relaxing in the many scenic parts of the property. There is a complete kitchen you can use to cook. Benny (the dog) is very friendly and playful, we will miss playing catch with him. The caretakers were helpful too. We wanted to stay longer but since we can't, we will surely be back. :)

The property was beautiful and relaxing. We were able to unwind after our trip from Manila. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but close to the beach and about 30 minutes from the largest local city. Rejie was very helpful for our entire trip there. My girlfriend and I did not have a vehicle, but for a nominal fee, Rejie was able to arrange transportation to/from the bus terminal as well as for our one full day in Bagac. He also arranged for a breakfast on our last morning there before we ran to get our bus back to Manila. The dogs definately added to our trip as well. I enthusiastically recommend this property and host for anyone considering a trip to Bataan.

This place is a sanctuary. We never thought we would have a place of choice in Bataan. At first, we booked this place only because it is the nicest place near Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar only to find out that it is a place worth to stay at and enjoy a rest from a busy life in Metro. People Kuya Reggie and his Ate Rita were so professional in accommodating us and making us comfortable in approaching him every time we need any assistance. Tito Thomas was obviously a very intelligent man yet humble as we never felt intimidated rather was comfortable having a meaningful conversation with him. Tita Liza, wife of Tito Thomas was like a mother, she approached us almost every meal time to check if we are okay and had our meals already, obviously, she didn’t want us to be hungry inside their home. Place The is a big place. So far from the city which is a place of choice for anyone likes to be in a front of nature and enjoy the time of being far from traffic, noise/ air pollution, stresses brought by office work and anything that hinders us from being healthy. The room we booked, guest room, is facing the Mt. Natib and the forest which along with the birds will greet you good morning and good night. As we stayed inside the place, we never heard any of road noises but a peaceful sound of nature any time of the day. The TOWER, it is a good place to stay especially during sunset as the sun kisses the West Philippine Sea good bye and during night if you are a fan of a star gazing. By the way, anywhere inside their property, you can see a clear starry night sky. The POOL, it is such a good place to bond and enjoy the company maybe over a bottle of beer? The PODIUM, the place where we had a good talk over a cup of coffee and enjoyed the fresh air coming from the forest area. The DOGS, they have dogs inside, Benny and Heidy. So, if you are a dog lover, you would prefer to stay here longer. Benny was so friendly and he will make you feel safe during your stay. He accompanied us anywhere we went inside the property and he waited until we went inside our room and slept and he will took his rest too. So loving dog. Food Warning, there is no place nearby where you can buy food any time you wish to. However, Kuya Reggie and Ate Rita are undoubtedly willing to serve you food of choice from their menu. If you are a fan of cooking for yourself, they allow to access their kitchen and their barbeque and they are more than willing to help you in anything. By the way, when we were there, Tita Liza were there and she was like a mother to us and checked with us...

Best place for r&r weekend! Feels like I'm already in Bali Nice place and very accommodating owner.

We'll give this airbnb a thumbs up, specially its host, Sir Edmond. We've encountered an unexpected circumstance but he remained very accommodating and understanding as soon as we informed him if we could make some adjustments regarding our booking reservation. If we're given another chance to visit Bataan, we'll definitely stay at this place again. We strongly recommend this place if you're like us who is looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Again, thank you Sir Edmond. God bless!

I would like to say Thank you for everything Edmond. He arrange everything for us. The food which is "organic lechon" (Yes! They breed organic pigs!) Very accommodating!! He even gave us a tour and areas to go to & make sure that our stay will be memorable. Everythingggg is jussst sooooo AMAZING! From the house itself, to the view (Which is i think pictures can't even give justice to how beautiful the place is..) Everything is just sooo beautiful!! Waking up with the sunrise through the window, And the smell of the beautiful gardens first thing in the morning, Having a morning walk to the pool, Undeniably beautiful.. We felt like we were in Paradise! Something that will give you an inner peace. Our experience was so enjoyable that i know we will go back again. I'm glad there are places like this where you can relax and be at peace.

I can't begin to explain how awesome out stay was. Heartland is more than the photos or reviews posted. The entire place is so peaceful and the fireflies were magical. It is 6/5 for me. Thank you Sir Edmond and to your staff for being so hospitable :)

We had an awesome experience in Heartland Bataan. The place was very secluded and relaxing. Mr. Edmond as well as all his staffs were very accomodating during our entire stay. We recommend this airbnb to everyone who wants to be one with nature for a while. We had a great time and will definitely come back if there's a chance. Thumbs up to everyone!

The owners are very nice and accommodating. We did not experience major issues during our stay in Balanga. Thanks for the warm reception!

Bobbie is a very accommodating host, easy to deal with and very quick to respond with all my requests. The home is exactly what was described. We specially loved the veranda and the landscaping around the house. The neighborhood is secured and quiet perfect for families.

The house was a great place to live in. Very Homey. i just hoped it had cable TV and hot water in the showers.

The place was really designed for family trip or barkada trip. We love the place not only because of the spacious house but also because of the safety of the subdivision. Our family did enjoy our stay in Bobbie's place. You can reach their place even if you don't have your own car, just ask the tricycle driver to drop you at EARTHFIELD subdivision, fare is P10 per person. ;-) I will definitely recommend this place to my friends. I saved almost 50% from Hotels rates. :-D

The house is clean and the location is secured. The home owners are very pleasant and accommodating. Glad I have discovered this place. Thank you!

Our stay far exceeded our expectations. Its a lovely house and a home away from home. Breakfast on the balcony, kitchen with all the utensils you need, living room with cable, real air conditioning, good sized rooms and bathrooms upstairs, grass, garage, kitchen and living room downstairs. The kids loved it. You need a car but with a car it is in a central yet private location. The Mall and La Vista resort are within 5 km which was a one day trip for us. We also did a trip to Camaya Coast which is hours away and expensive but well worth it. We really enjoyed ourselves. Its nice to go back to a home. I strongly recommend Bobbie's house and the hosts were genuinely helpful and cared. We will be back!

We had a pleasant stay in Balanga. The veranda of the house is a big plus. Unfortunately there was no wifi available.

Very easy to deal with. We might go back one of these days. My kids definitely enjoyed our stay. "Refreshing" daw according to my eldest.

Maria's place is very "homey". We loved that we're able to chill and cook in the house as well as watch the beautiful sunset by the beach. I would recommend Maria's place may it be a family trip or barkada trip. :)

The place is in a great remote location very close to the water. House is very clean and the person in charge is very helpful with directions and any questions we had. There's no commercial shops or fast food chains anywhere near so make sure you bring enough food just in case but the markets are close by and there are "tindahans" around. Love the outdoor showers and hammock!!! None of the TVs were working (figured there was no antenna connected) so would recommend bringing in a laptop and HDMI cable if you would like to watch movies etc when there's time to kill.. otherwise enjoyed our time playing outdoors and lots of swimming! The whole family had a lovely time, thank you!

This place is great! Especially for groups. The actual place is better I think than the photos. :) We had everything we need. We even requested to have a cook(for a fee) since we just want to bum out all day. They were even the one to shop for the supplies. As for the beach itself, the sand was ordinary but it was CLEAN. Great for swimming since the waves were small and it was shallow. As seen on the other reviews, signal is spotty in the house itself. If you want good cellular reception, go to the 2nd floor front balcony. Or to the beach, it has LTE. :) It was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone. :)

Enjoyed the beach very much. House is small for 12 pax. There is no place for everyone to eat together. People in the adjacent hut were playing karaoke loudly. Ruined the serenity of the place.

This was a perfect place for our family and friends. A large house with lots of space. The beach is ideal! Clean, calm water that is shallow and perfect for lounging. It is a quiet, residential area, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We bought fish in town to cook on the grill...delicious! We enjoyed it so much, we're heading back this weekend.

Every year, I look for a beach getaway place that is both senior-friendly and pet-friendly. Lourdes' place is both that and more. First, the instructions for getting there are quite clear. Since the place is quite hidden, we were picked up nearby and was offered to be directed to a market if we need to buy supplies. Second, the place was very beautiful. We were on the second floor, which offered a great view of the beach. It was also very clean, considering that there is sand everywhere and it's very windy. Third, we love that facilities are just like at home. The kitchen is equipped with cooking equipment and utensils, they provide a grill, and they even provided a coffee maker when asked if there is one prior to arriving (very much appreciated). Many thanks to Shanice, who made sure we had a great and comfortable weekend. Cheers!

This location brings me back to my childhood when our whole family would pack for a beach weekend trip. This is not your "private resort" or "membership club" type of beach setting where you have a complimentary towel and bottled water but your laid back, undeveloped and old style beach front bonding with family. We grilled freshly caught fish at 7pm from the nearby fishing village. We had our cooler full of ice and beer while enjoying music from our portable speaker. Do not expect a luxurious stay but think of a simple yet cozy accommodation 3-4hrs away from Manila. Overall it was a weekend well spent with the family.

The place looks better in person. Shanice made us feel welcome, she was very accommodating and attentive to our needs. House was very tidy, well kept and fully furnished. Perfect place to relax, and not worry about cooking your food, they can do it for you. There's a videoke you could rent just P500 for 24 hours. Highly recommended and we will surely be back soon.

Pleasant stay! Great communication. Co-host Miss Malou was helpful to us, sent us what we needed in time. Only problem we encountered was no working swimming pool like suggested. But all in all it was memorable stay in Balanga . :-)

The place is definitely worth the visit! We stayed at Bataan Heartland for 3d2n. Initially, we planned to visit different tourist spots in Bataan and just spend the nights at Heartland. However, the place itself is a hidden tourist spot -we decided to just spend half of our vacation time experiencing nature and taking a good rest through this gem. More than the place, Sir Edmond and his staff are also welcoming and helpful. They will make sure you'll get that R&R you need :)

awesome family friendly place to stay. what an experience to spend a night in the ifugao hut. i'd love to try the treetop house when we go back

Beautiful, quiet, green place! A lot to see, experience, and enjoy.

I would like to say Thank you for everything Edmond. He arrange everything for us. The food which is "organic lechon" (Yes! They breed organic pigs!) Very accommodating!!

Prior to our arrival, Jergen was very quick to answer all our queries and quite helpful in providing all the necessary info we needed. Upon arriving, we were welcomed by 2 caretakers who were consistently attentive to all our needs. The property is beautiful and huge but at the same time quiet enough to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Our family, especially the kids really enjoyed and we will definitely come back soon.

A wonderful place, very clean and well maintained, like a nature park. Decent hosts and friendIy but sometimes hungry dogs. Wish we stayed longer!

We had such a great time at jerjens vacation home. The property is very big and you will feel the zen of staying close to nature. It beats staying in any hotels and resorts for the privacy alone. The place is very close the market and to the bataan boating station if you want to go island hoping. Their dog benny deserves a special mention for he stayed with us the whole time and made us feel welcome. We would come back at jerjen's property given the chance :)

We had an awesome time in Jergen's place. We met his father, Thomas, who is so kind. Kuya Regie waited for us at the highway before we turn right at the communal road. It isn't really in waze so good thing he's waiting for us. We met their cutie dogs! Not to mention Bennie was our favorite. Everytime we swim he's there watching us and playing with us. He's so playful! Hahaha 3G connection is okay but better at the pool area. All I can say is that their place is so big!! Will comeback again :)

Great for r&r. Place is quiet and peaceful with many small areas to sit and chill out. I would stay here again, nice getaway from the city. Jergens parents provided a nice welcome, and their dogs kept us constant company. Caretaker regie was readily available for any questions or needs.

The place was perfect for a getaway for a long weekend: it is quiet, very close to nature, but yet accessible. The native house is set on top of a hill overlooking the sea. The pool was perfect with special mention about the ledge for reading a book or just chilling to the brush of breeze blowing in your face. You also will get a bonus: two lovely and friendly Belgian Malinois named Bennie and Heidi. The open kitchen allowed us to cook and eat food next to a lovely view of vegetation. If you are lucky, you may enjoy and pick mangoes and guava as you walk around the nicely built stone paths. There are also strategic spots where you can enjoy a book. The rooms are cozy. Utensils, towels, charcoal are available. Just be sure to always conserve water. We ran out twice during the day. All in all, it was a perfect place for rest and recreation. It was also near Mt Samat, a historical place where one can see a large cross on top of the mountain. The caretakers were also very helpful and quick to act on our requests. If you want to stay here, make sure you have enough clothes for swimming. I will come back here soon.

Great house in a beautiful place! We spent a vacation at Jergens house. It was very easy to communicate with her and she and her Dad gave us a lot of helpful information. Our kids loved to play at the pool and and to run around on the huge property. We live in Manila and for us it was great to spend some days in this quiet and beautiful place in the middle of nature.

if you want to have a shelter for a few days on a family minded place putting focus on each other.. this is the one.. If you want to have a romantic place for the two of you.. this is the one.. the best money can get you.

Communication to the host is easy as he lives 2 units away.

Clean place and great alternative to getting a hotel. Very accommodating host.

Kuya Joel is very accommodating and gives response on time. The place really exceeded my expectation and my friends really loved it. In case I will be going back to Balanga, Bataan, I will choose to stay again in his place. Thank you again! :)
