Attractions
With 11 hectares of beautiful grounds and a magnificent 2.2-hectare lagoon, there's always something incredible to see, explore and enjoy at Graceland. From our herd of native Philippine brown deer to our historical collection of U.S. military Jeeps, you'll spend your days exploring the beauty of nature, the wonder of history and the splendor of our local Quezon province.
Here are a few of our favorite things. We think you'll love them, too.
Graceland Fountain
There's no better maligayang pagdating than our three-tiered fountain – a kind hello upon arrival and a warm farewell before you leave. Crafted from multicolored stone and budding with local greenery, Graceland's fountain is a wonderful choice for a visual souvenir of your time at the resort.
Native Deer Herd
There are few things more majestic than a herd of deer, gracefully prancing or quietly lounging in the shade. Graceland is home to a large herd of native Philippine brown deer – a photogenic bunch that has grown from 4 to over 20 and lives in a large, enclosed area across from Memphis Garden.
Historic Jeep Collection
For history buffs, our private collection of U.S. military Jeeps is a must-see item. Located next to the Pool Side Cafe, just across from the tennis and basketball courts, you'll enjoy a unique and rare display of beautifully preserved vehicles – a MacArthur, Willys M-38, Eisenhower, and Kennedy. If only our Jeeps could talk, what stories they could tell!
Graceland Lagoon
Graceland's 2.2-hectare, manmade lagoon is the tranquil centerpiece of our resort. Palm-fringed shores frame a small island populated by cabanas – the perfect spot for a peaceful day by the water (or the setting for your once-in-a-lifetime event!). The triple-crown cone of Mount Banahaw watches over Graceland's peaceful waterhole, which is fed by natural streams flowing down from the volcano's lush slopes.
And the lagoon isn't just a pretty face: head on over to the boat wharf and hop in a paddle boat. And if you care to catch your lunch or dinner, grab a rod and spend the afternoon fishing.
Fruit-bearing and Mahogany Trees
Graceland's 11 lush hectares are carefully and lovingly landscaped to follow the natural contours of the land and preserve its innate beauty. Over the years, we've made a conscientious effort to plant even more trees – including the bamboo, golden bamboo, mahogany and other specimens you'll find sprinkled throughout the grounds.
And for our urbanite visitors, we offer an incredible variety of native fruit trees – over 20 species, in fact! At Graceland, juicy pomelos, silky avocados, rich Indian mangoes and smooth star apples – not to mention lychee, mangosteen, coconuts and other tempting bounty – are always an arm's reach away.
Souvenir and Gift Shop
If you're looking for something memorable to commemorate your travels to Graceland, look no further than our Souvenir and Gift Shop. You'll find a varied selection of Graceland goodies, like t-shirts and wallets, as well as local handicrafts, items perfect to take home as a souvenir for yourself or pasalubong for your friends and loved ones.
Our staff is always on hand to help select that special something: Lambanog, Quezon's signature coconut wine, unique to our area; coco sugar; coco vinegar; EZ Maps of Quezon; postcards and more – if it's local and you desire it, we likely have it!
