“The Netherlands” in Batangas? Yes, you heard that right! The Old Grove Farmstead located in Lipa City, Batangas lets visitors experience a glimpse of what The Netherlands looks like.
Not far from Manila, The Old Grove Farmstead is less than a hundred kilometers or less than 2 hours drive from Metro Manila. It can easily be accessed via South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR). All you have to do is to drive all the way to SLEX and then take Lipa Exit of STAR Toll. The Old Grove Farmstead is few kilometers away from Lipa Exit. You should take Jose P. Laurel Hi-way and then turn right to Dr. Gregorio Zara Avenue. The road is quite narrow but paved so those driving lowered vehicles need not to worry. Continue straight to M. Lina and then turn right to Lodlod Avenue. For about 1 kilometer, you will have to turn right again until you reach the gate of The Old Grove Farmstead.Â
Once you reach The Old Grove Farmstead, the friendly security guard will greet and direct you to the Windmill (Information) where you can inquire about the accommodations and the other facilities the place has to offer.
