My family and I stayed there for 2D1N for our little Mother’s Day weekend getaway and I must say that it is one of the most relaxing experience that I ever had.

My husband and I went boating for a little while over there during our first day.

But boating requires too much energy so we decided that the floating gazebo is much more relaxing.

After that we climbed up the treehouse for some birdwatching before we began exploring the place further.

We helped ourselves to the fleshy and satisfying fruit, before tagging along with the owner to find some honey and pollen to be eaten directly from the beehive.

Bee pollen. Unlike honey, these bee pollen tasted fruity and sourish and leaves quite a long aftertaste on the tongue.

And here’s the chalet part of the Valley Agro Park. The accomodation is pretty much back to nature style. While there are higher ends room with water heater and air cond, we opt for the most basic room to stay for the night. Our host has graciously offered us the biggest room with full amnesties like air cond and water heater, but we politely declined and asks for the basic room instead as we wanted to experience Vallay Agro Park the way it’s intended to be; back to nature style.

The room comes with a window and a fantastic view.

Breathtaking view from our window at night. I may have trouble sleeping every other night but I slept like a baby here in Valley Agro Park and actually overslept and missed breakfast.

Our 2D1N getaway in Valley Agro Park is nothing but amazing. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and this is definitely one of the best eco tourism trip that we ever partake in.
