Guest Experiences
"We hosted our Christmas party here with 30 guests and used 5 rooms for overnight. The space was perfect — the kids loved running around the house and the adults had plenty of room to celebrate."
"Booked 2 AC rooms for a weekend getaway with friends. The house has so much character — every corner has something interesting to look at. Very clean and well-maintained."
"We were looking for a venue where we could hold our event AND have rooms to sleep in after. Most places charge separately for both. Balay Dako gave us everything in one package."

Our Story
Balay Dako — "the big house" — has stood in this community for generations. Built in the tradition of Filipino ancestral homes, the Hechanova house carries the character of an era when homes were made to gather families together under one roof.
Today, we open its doors to guests who appreciate that kind of character — the warmth of aged wood, the quiet of thick walls, the feeling of stepping into a place that has seen a hundred celebrations.
When you book Balay Dako, you're not renting a venue. You're stepping into a family home — and for the duration of your stay, it becomes yours.
"We opened our doors because a house like this deserves to be filled with laughter, not just memories."— The Hechanova Family
