Our story

A quiet hill, now a place to celebrate.

People have long come up this hill to be quiet and to pray. That is why it is known as a prayer mountain.

The calm is still here. Today the hill is also a venue. You can hold a wedding, a church retreat, a company event, or a small party, with the whole valley below you.

What is here

Everything on one hilltop.

You do not need to move your guests around the city. The pool, the rooms, the hall, and the view are all in one place.

  • Swimming pools

    One pool for adults and one shallow pool for children. Open to guests and to day pass visitors.

  • Air-conditioned rooms

    Cool, quiet rooms for guests who want to stay the night. Room types and count: [ROOM_TYPES]

  • Coffee bar

    A small coffee bar on site. It is for our guests only, so it stays calm and never feels crowded.

  • Parking area

    Space to park on site. Your guests can drive up and leave the car near the venue.

  • The view

    Green hills, a mountain peak across the valley, and the bay behind it. At night the city lights come on below you.

  • Event space

    Room for a ceremony, a dinner, or a meeting. Both. There is a covered pavilion and open lawn space.

  • Fire pit lounge

    An open seating area around a fire pit, looking out over the valley. Good for evenings after a long day.

  • Camping grounds

    Open ground to camp on, for groups who want to stay under the sky instead of in a room.

Events, weddings and retreats

Say yes with the valley below you.

We host weddings, church retreats, company events, and small private parties. The view does most of the work. We help with the rest.

  • Weddings and celebrations

    Ceremony and reception in one place, with the sunset as your backdrop.

  • Retreats and church events

    Quiet days for church groups, plus seminars and training. Rooms and camping are on the same grounds.

  • Corporate events

    Meetings, team days, planning sessions, and year-end parties, away from the noise of the city.

  • Private functions

    Birthdays, reunions, and family gatherings, big or small.

Stay, camping and day pass

Stay the night, or just the day.

You do not need an event to come up. Book a room, pitch a tent on the grounds, or buy a day pass and use the pool.

  • Overnight rooms

    Air-conditioned rooms for a quiet night. Wake up to the hills and the bay in the distance.

  • Camping

    Camp on the open grounds and sit by the fire pit at night. Good for church groups and families.

  • Day pass

    Come for the day and swim. There is an adult pool and a kids pool.

  • Coffee for guests

    Take your coffee outside and sit with the view. The coffee bar is for guests only.

The view

The whole valley, below you.

In the day you see green hills, a mountain peak across the valley, the city, and the bay behind it. At night the lights come on and the whole valley glows. Your guests will stop talking for a moment. That is the point.

Some people come up only for this. If you want to see General Santos from above, you are welcome for the day.
