The overview
About William's Nature Park and Farm
William's Nature Park and Farm is a hillside garden attraction in Barangay La-aw, right along the national highway through Borbon. Opened in a soft launch in December 2022 and operated by the owners of the Golden Manok Native and Seafood Restaurant, the park sits on an open, tree-shaded slope with wide views of the surrounding countryside and sky. The grounds are laid out with garden paths and stairways decorated with colorful murals, including a koi fish and waterlily design, along with a rustic wooden pavilion built as a photo spot. Birdwatching and short nature walks are part of the appeal, and the park is positioned as a family-friendly stop for visitors passing through northern Cebu rather than a full-day destination. Golden Manok Native and Seafood Restaurant sits at the entrance to the compound, serving dishes made from the farm's own native chickens and seafood, so a garden visit can be paired with a meal on site. Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the park.
