  • YUMIYAMI FARM AND RESORT, Tagkawayan, Philippines

    Yumiyami Farm and Resort is a serene escape located on the border of Tagkawayan and Guinayangan in Quezon Province. Known for its refreshing mountain views and family-friendly atmosphere, this resort bridges the gap between a rustic farm stay and a modern staycation.

    Travel Guide and Tips

    • Best Time to Visit: The dry season from March to May is ideal for enjoying the outdoor pool and nearby waterfalls.

    • Connectivity: While the resort offers free Wi-Fi, signal strength can be intermittent due to the hilly terrain; download offline maps before heading out.

    • Packing Essentials: Bring insect repellent for the farm environment and sturdy aqua shoes if you plan to visit the nearby rocky falls.

    • Advance Booking: If you plan to dine at the resort, place food orders in advance as meals are freshly prepared and may take time.

    Nearby Attractions

    • Hinabaan Falls: Located just a 5-minute drive away, these falls offer a quick natural dip.

    • Guinayangan Mangrove Boardwalk: A peaceful 10-minute drive leads to this eco-tourism site, perfect for sunset walks.

    • Maulawin Spring Protected Landscape: A nearby hidden gem for nature lovers and bird watchers.

    • Gapas and Busay Falls: Slightly further out (12-15 minutes), these provide more adventurous trekking and swimming options.

    Transportation Tips

    • From Manila: Take a bus bound for Bicol (Legazpi/Daet) from terminals like PITX or Cubao. Ask to be dropped off at the Tagkawayan or Santa Elena junction.

    • Local Commute: From the town center, you can hire a tricycle to take you directly to Barangay Salakan.

    • Private Vehicle: Use navigation apps set to “Yumiyami Farm and Resort.” Be prepared for some winding roads as you approach the Guinayangan-Tagkawayan border.

    Best For

    First Person Review

    “We stayed here for a weekend and the first thing that hit us was the fresh air. The staff treated us like family, and the kids wouldn’t get out of the pool. The rooms are surprisingly modern for a farm setting—clean sheets, cold AC, and a balcony where I had my coffee while watching the mist over the mountains. It’s not a 5-star luxury hotel, but for the price and the peace of mind, it’s a solid 9/10.”
