About

Way Shack is a newly-opened design hostel with a restaurant and roofdeck in Oslob, Cebu - also the first and the only one in the area! Its distinctive features are its cogon-thatched roof and the colorful mural extrerior painted by a local artist.

We are conveniently located in the heart of Oslob along the main highway, just a stone’s throw away, right across to the entrance to beach where you can find the world-famous Whaleshark experience.

Stay with us and be one of the FIRST IN LINE to swim with the Whalesharks!

With a bar, restaurant and reception we're ready to serve your every need. We also have a rooftop garden terrace with an Ocean view, where you can have a cold beer, meet fellow travelers, or just chill out.

You may choose to stay in either the aircon or fan Dormitories, or in a private airconditioned room, each with its own toilet and shower.

The location is perfect as it's right across the street from Oslob Whale Sharking watching. The manager, Kent, and his wife are very kind and welcoming. He can simplify and save you time in the process to obtain your whale sharking swimming tickets, so definitely ask him about it. He can also help you arrange other tours and provide transportation. I recommend Tumalog Falls and a day trip to Sumilon Island. The hostel is clean, has cold AC, and hot showers.

Nice room, not a lot of person so it’s quiet and next to everything at the same time. The AV wasn’t working enough so sweating all night. And the beds are not so strong. Almost felt from it
