Kookoo’s Nest
Description
Small eco-lodge on the coast, roughly an hour from Dumaguete — technically in Siaton by most references but Google Maps places it in Zamboanguita, so don’t be surprised by the discrepancy. No direct public transport; a scooter or car is effectively required. Open for both overnight stays and day-use visits (lunch, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking off a bamboo jetty, and a private beachfront with house reef). One real accessibility note: steep stairs are the only way between the car park and the property, so it’s not workable for wheelchairs or anyone with mobility difficulty on stairs. Nearby Tambobo Bay — a small marina where some of the region’s wealthier residents keep yachts — is worth combining with the trip, especially on a Friday when it runs a buffet.
