Oktoberfest 2024

Our traditional social highlight of the year, previously known as Los Baños Oktoberfest, will be happening for the first time at our new house in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. Contrary to the original in Munich, which starts end of September, we will organize it on October 26 at our new home in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ). There will be German beer, Wurst, Sauerkraut, Linsen und Spätzle and many more as well as genuine Blasmusik (no life band though). We will send more information soon.

Accommodation

We have limited overnight space in our new house and we will have a visitor from Germany  during that time so our apartment is unfortunately already full. We thought about putting up tents in the garden, but we have a monkey family as neighbors and don’t know what they would do with the tents, and inhabitants who forgot to close the tent zipper because of the consumption of too much delicious Paulaner. But there are lots of affordable RBNBs actually in walking distance, see below. There is also one hotel in Upper Cubi, also walking distance, And there are lots of overnight places in the other parts of the SBFZ.

There are many RBNBs in the neighborhood and also in other villages of the SBFZ. One example for 6 people for around US$ 70  is here.

Just go to RBNB and search in “Upper Cubi Subic”.

Hotel in walking distance:

Emerald Manor Hotel with large outdoor swimming pool: https://www.booking.com/hotel/ph/emerald-manor-subic.html

Price  for a double room around US$ 64

There is also the pirate place Vasco’s, around 10 min drive from us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm7K5n5Oecc

And many other hotels in the more downtown area and some resorts at the beaches of the SBFZ.

Beach Resorts in short driving distance

There are also some beach resorts in the Bay and a bit outside. The water close to Olongapo is not very clean, so if you like to spend some time in the ocean, we suggest to look for one of the resorts a bit more outside.

A good overview on 25 resorts is here:

One resort about 10-15 minutes drive from our place is the Camayan Beach Resort. We have been there for dinner recently, the menue is quite extensive covering western, eastern and Filipino food.

RSVP please

If you plan to come please let us know if possible so we can plan for food and drinks
