Last weekend, we just had an amazing trip to Tanay, Rizal. It is a 2-hour drive from Manila. Days before the granular lockdown happened, we encountered one checkpoint along Rizal. They were checking if there were kids in the car and they were looking for a driver’s license.
After that checkpoint, it was a smooth ride until you get to Daraitan. Your trip to Tinipak Lodge and Restaurant will be going to be rough but we promise you that it will be worth it.
You will know if you’re near the area when you see a river and a bridge. Yes, you have to cross that bridge. Each car needs to pay 50 PHP upon crossing the river.
In this blog, we will share with you the reasons why you should visit this place when you’re planning to have a getaway after this pandemic.
FOOD ARE SUPERB.
After trying some of their food, we wish we’re near to them so we can visit their restaurant and try their food every day. Swear, you must try the food here! They have a restaurant along the highway (Kamalig Restaurant), if you’re around the area, please do visit and try their food.

GREAT PLACE TO UNWIND.
We didn’t imagine that we can found a relaxing place here in Tanay, Rizal. Since we all know that Tanay is one of the go-to places if you’re looking for an adventure. But if you’re not that kind of person, then just stay at their lodge. You’ll be relaxed, for sure.
Feel the cold breeze at night while enjoying the bonfire with your smores and sausages. We want to go back and experience the place at night since we have to sleep early.
What made our stay more memorable was because the owners are so accommodating. Thank you for accommodating us, Reyes family!
CLEAN AND COZY ROOM.
We’re surprised when we saw our room since we’re not expecting too much since it’s a lodge. But look, it’s clean and cozy.
We stayed in their Dumagat Room which is good for 4 pax. It has 2 king-sized beds. It has an aircon but we didn’t use it since we just want to enjoy the fresh air. It has TV and cable but we didn’t use it also since we just want to enjoy nature.
Our room has its own rattan swing and a veranda where we mostly spent our time with. It has a private bathroom also which has body soap, shampoo, tissue, and complimentary towels.
We also noticed that they are still under construction and currently adding more rooms to accommodate more people at their place.
NOTE: When you checked-in, you are entitled to have a complimentary breakfast.

I love the place! Will save this for future reference, grabe natatambakan na kami ng places to visit because of the pandemic. I really want to go on a trip with Nathan but at the same time I want him to be safe from the virus
The foods are mouth-watering and the place is so relaxing. I hope that this pandemic will end soon so we can all enjoy this place.
Hello Karla! Sakto naghahanap ako ng pwedeng akyatin pag okay na ang lahat. Ang mura din ng Airbnb accommodation nila. Love your pics btw. Rooms looked clean and cozy for a typical lodge.
And ang sasarap din ng foods!! Babalikan ko tong post mo pag natuloy na kami. ❤️
Hey this is a big discount ah so generous naman!! I so wanna get as far away from metro Manila after this pandemic lol. Have to check this out
Ang lapit niya lang samin. Pwedeng pwede sana puntahan to unwind and let our baby exprience something new. Sana maging ok na soon and makapagtavel na ulet 😭
I am from Rizal but I haven’t been here 😂 My friends want to go here but naabutan na nga ng pandemic. ☹️ May expiry ba ung link niyo for the code or wala naman?
No expiration sa code 😊 Go na once the pandemic is lifted!
I live in Tanay but have actually never heard of this place. Surely, I must visit here someday after the lockdown. I’m in need of a place to relax and unwind from all the stresses of everyday living. Thanks for sharing. I hope the code will still be available 😀
Aist, if only we have a car to drive there, punta na ako now na! It looks so refreshing and comforting. Love the big windows, too.
