Ephrathah Farms — Attraction in Iloilo

The overall experience is meh, not really recommended. I expected good experience and memories for that day because of the video on fb and reviews here on Google map. For easy interpretation and reading, I will list the things I dislike about the place (with explanation):

The place is not maintained well. The only place that is still functioning well is the church and the area for overnight or rooms. The area around the church is littered with rotting starapple and leaves (which resulted to foul odor), the butterfly sanctuary is filled with mosquitoes (that can be a health hazard) instead of what we saw on fb, and most of all the koi fishes looks like it hasn't been fed for a long time.

The lack of privacy. While we were swimming, there was a guy who kept coming to our cottage multiple times making us uncomfortable. I didn't mind it at first, yet it became irritable.

For reference, we went there on the first week of April 2025. I didn't take any pictures because it...

Rating a 4 cause we didn't stay there overnight. We went there for a quick visit only.

Pros: Glass Chapel is Immaculate Quiet/Cosy Place Ambience is great

Cons: There were parts of the farm that weren't really maintained. Not that this is a big issue, but it would've been nice if it were taken care of. Elderly folks might have a tough time going up and down to parts of the farm since the paths tend to get a bit steep - but I guess this wouldn't be an issue for younger folks. Don't wear high heeled shoes? Lol. You might a private car/van for ease of commute.

Overall, great place. Would...

Peaceful place. The surrounding is quiet. Road to the farm is unpaved, caution during storms or bad weather. Personnel are polite and helpful. Entrance fee as of time of review is 50 per head. See photos for more details on prices of commodities. The restaurant is, uhmmm, well, pricey for the amount of food you get. On paper is looks affordable, but serving size is small. Like fries the size of two regular McDo french fries is P190. See photos for menu. You can but vegetables and fruits here. Prices are cheap compared to city. They have a nice chapel made of glass walls, something unique...
