People who visit Banaue often look for villages to visit for two reasons: one is to interact with the natives, while the other is to experience living in a house that the natives used to live in. One of the best places to experience this within Banaue is the Hiwang Native House Inn & Viewdeck.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>

Hiwang Native House Inn has been around for at least 50 years. Since May 2019, they now have a total of 10 authentic Bare\u00a0<\/em>or native houses that they rent out to guests plus two (2) Ifugao native house museums. Each Bare\u00a0<\/em>can hold up to four (4)\u00a0guests for only Php 1,800 per night.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These Bare<\/em>\u00a0may look new, but they are as authentic as you can possibly get. These houses have stood for a minimum of 200 years, and have only been kept in pristine condition thanks to the efforts of its keepers and helpers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each Bare\u00a0<\/em>is a virtual view deck on its own: it is placed higher than any of the lodgings you can find in Poblacion, Banaue, giving Hiwang the best views of the Banaue and Hapao Rice Terraces. There\u2019s no need to worry about electricity in your room, as each Bare<\/em>\u00a0has its own socket.<\/span><\/p>\n

As with the old days, there are no private bathrooms inside each Bare<\/em>, but you can use the bathrooms that are located just outside each one. These are equipped with hot and cold showers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiwang Native House Inn also has an antique collection that you will have a hard time finding elsewhere. The collection includes several things that the native Ifugao used, including wood carvings, an anvil for metalwork, and skulls either found or killed by the Ifugao during World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Skulls, as well as wood-carved idols and tools used at home, can be found in their antique collection.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hiwang Native House Inn is a bit of a way\u2019s away from the main town of Banaue, but\u00a0it is\u00a0definitely worth the trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:\u00a0Hungry for a meal at your Bare? Hiwang\u2019s native houses have their own dining table set-up right below each house, much like how the natives did in the old days. There\u2019s also a place for you to have a bonfire and cook your food, though you will need to buy your food at the market. The bonfire can be set up for only Php 120. An on-site food menu is also available.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
