Description

Perched above the Davao Gulf, this roadside stop serves sweeping, selfie-ready views and adrenaline-pumping attractions like a bike zipline. Offerings range from instant coffee and snacks to notable native chicken dishes at modest prices, though food consistency varies. Basic amenities include separate restrooms, ample water and free street parking; mobile signal can be spotty. Parts of the site show neglect and may be unstable or unlisted on maps, so visit as a scenic stopover, enjoy the sunset vistas, and exercise caution.

The place has burned down and is now just a ruin with a few walls left standing. While the view is still nice, there's no coffee to be found!

He seemed neglected and in disrepair. (I wouldn't recommend entering the area, as it's likely to be demolished soon.) I didn't find it on Google Maps, so I didn't realize it had once been a restaurant—now it feels like a relic of the past. The view from here is lovely, though. If you decide to visit, please ensure your brakes and tires are in good condition. Safe travels! Parking is available for free.

A cool, nice place to stop over and take a quick respite from the zig zagging feeling either coming from Gensan or Davao City.Clean enough comfort rooms separate for men and women which is good, and has ample water supply.Food may need lots of improvements but for non choosy eaters, there will be fares available to knock your tummy worries away.Especially in the afternoon when the sun is at your back, the view of the Davao Gulf is mesmerizing. You can see the expanse of Davao Occidental also from the port of Malalag to Sta. Maria.Sipping coffee or cooling with soda and at the same time enjoying the green scenery would certainly make you want to stay a minute longer.Parking is not a hassle and not exactly treacherous as there is enough distance from the busy highway.You can always take snap shots and post as signal of either of the two telcos is available and hmmm sometimes 5 bars for both...

Try their delicious native chicken tinola (organic) or the native chicken adobo, paired with their locally sourced coffee—a nourishing meal that will give you the extra energy you need to drive safely. In addition to this, don't miss their breathtaking bike zipline adventure, where you can ride over a hundred feet above the cliff—what an exhilarating experience!
