Keady Cottage - 30 metres from the beach and ocean

 

 

 

 

Located on the west coast of Siquijor Island Keady Cottage is 30m from the ocean and sits in a lush tropical garden. The cottage is constructed of beautiful local wood-(Acacia) with an outdoor shower and deck overlooking the overgrown and lush garden. Keady is ideal to relax and regenerate. The ocean 30m away is a garden of live corals; at low tide a rocky platform is exposed where locals search for shellfish in the traditional way. There are no hawkers or children trying to sell you trinkets!

Keady is a native design and constructed out of local wood and Nipa products throughout. It is positioned facing west to afford the best opportunity for shade by reducing direct sunlight. However the bedroom area is very light as the sliding door from the western facing deck lets in ample light and also allows the breeze from the ocean to flow into the room. The hot/cold shower area is straight out of a designer handbook (well Pinterest actually!) complete with a living banana tree or two for shade! Due to the shower being outside it may give the appearance of not being cleaned but it is! leaves from the passion fruit bushes and banana plants shed leaves all the time! If you want it 'freshened' up please ask!

A colourful bamboo archway path leads directly to the ocean from the accommodation

Bed linen, towels and soaps are provided. Sheets are changed every 3 days. The cottage is tidied everyday but not cleaned every day, only every 3rd day. If you require a towel change before 3 days there will be a 50 pesos charge per towel. Pls place the towel on the floor in the shower and inform us on agoda of your request.
If something is not to your liking please inform the manager at Baha Bar. We can arrange for washing of clothes and babysitting if required.

For both of these services there is a cost of 100 pesos per kilo for clothes washing and 100 pesos per hour for babysitting.

Babysitting must be arranged ahead of time pls!

Warning - At low tide the foreshore is rocky and you may feel it is not ideal for young children, however you may also consider it fascinating for them! A fully sandy beach is just 100m away along the shoreline

Transport - we have our own minibus and can provide transport to and from the ferries provided you give us at 12 hours notice (we can accept requests in a shorter time frame but cannot guarantee we will pick up the message!).
Cost - 700 pesos each way from Siquijor and 1000 pesos from Larena port.

Please check in at the Baha Bar restaurant, the keys are left with the cashier upstairs from 8.30am to 11 pm. Access to Keady is from Baha Bar restaurant (#1 on the island according to Trip Advisor), walk underneath the nipa sakayan (local fishing kyak) through the gardens in the back of the restaurant towards the ocean and the cottage is on your right 25m from the restaurant. The footpath corridor (underneath flourishing and fruit bearing passion fruit ) also leads to the seafront 30m from Keady cottage.

The owners, Steve and Gen live next door and can be contacted at any time if there is a concern or emergency but any of the staff at Baha Ba’r are on hand until 11pm to assist you.

Although Keady is not on the ocean, the cottage is very close (150m) to what locals refer to as 'ghost island’. The locals believe that once you die your soul is transported to this island before you go to the next life! The water is crystal clear and although the beach area is narrow it is generally very clean and free of garbage.

The main features outside the lush gardens are the clarity of the water on your doorstep and the unimpeded views at sunset to Apo Island and amazing stars almost every night. The corals are 20m offshore and are all healthy and living, unfortunately the local fisherman over fish them but nevertheless you will still see many small fish and other macro fauna. It is within relatively easy
