The biophilic architecture concept; to have active positive impact on the people inside and the surrounding nature (Ecopuncture): mutualism to the environment (like the orchids growing on branches, corals with fish and alga or the human with good bacteria). We promote local bamboo, stone and plastic bottle bricks filled of ocean trash "Eco-bricks" & empowered local people as part as fair share program. The electricity in Indonesia is made from burning coal, which is harmful for people & environment, but at our place we generate it from solar panels & wind mill.

Here you will stay in a small blue zone area & get treated by the not yet famous traditional local version of Javanese diet, "Khas Gunungkidul" by local women villagers. In our concept food is best medicine for body but also mind & soul and can be a major contributor to solve climate change & pollutions issues. 30% of CO2 emissions come from modern agriculture & processed agroindustrial food consumption. Water & soil get polluted. Rainforest cut. So what you eat every day not only impact your health but other people & the planet. Most Indonesia farmlands are no exception to that. We put very qualitative, gustative, organic & traditional food product front as highlight without much transformation & cooking to get the best of it. We are surrounded with still traditional farmers growing food that could get into star rated chefs restaurant & fishermen with their traditional catch of the day. It is a simple "blessing from nature to table", like eating at grand ma home with a bit of Jiwa Laut creative twist. It is available for breakfast and/or lunch, snacks and dinner. We only use natural products, no additive, preservative, MSG, industrial products, no palm oil & all gluten free. All cooked on the spot, so you have to be patient every meal take time to get ready, nothing instant in it & please order it a day in advance.

For any other food order, we would appreciate your order at least a day in advance to book the cook and also get the time needed to get and harvest the food.

We just ask people to put an up to your heart donation into our donation box to support our projects and make possible our activities to continue as we have high maintenance cost & low income to run such a place. We are part of the community Refillmybottle. We offer safe drinking water for refill your own bottle, just ask for a small donation to finance our recycle plastic project. We have an affordable car and local drivers available for bringing you around. The villagers rent scooter/motor to explore around. Other things to note You will stay in a still natural ecosystem where humans live harmonised with nature. Be aware the house is surrounded by forest, bushes and farm land. There are insects and animals living around like mosquitos, bugs, flies, ants, lizards, frogs, mouses, kind of opossum, squirrels, martels, luwak, birds, bees, bats etc.... none is harmful. If you can get out of your comfort zone & fears of being which are more afraid of you that you are of them, you will discover a new dimension of living, a joy like people as David Attenborough from BBC Earth or any indigenous people does. However we do our best keeping them away from you, but we cannot guaranty that you won't get one inside your place. They were living here before us and we are living in their place not the other way around. To avoid it please help us by not keep food inside the house, even with packaging. If you really need to keep some, keep it airtight in the provided wooden box. Careful also about leather stuff & cables. Every house has geckos hiding inside as their habitat are human houses, they will eat the bugs & some mosquitoes. It is seen as a symbol of luck. We try to offer best standard of cleanliness and hygiene but don't expect the place be as clean and sterile like city hotels as we are located in rural Indonesia. You may even get some little poo from the geckos. Our houses are not hermetically closed to get natural breeze air circulation and you may get little bit dust or leaves and salty moist from the ocean wind. The bathrooms have also open roof to feel the nature. We don't use chemicals to clean but natural soap, white vinegar and soda powder like our grand-parents did. Most days, our front beach is calm and uncrowded, with rare foreign visitors and the sea’s gentle rhythm as your soundtrack. On weekends or school holidays, it comes alive with local families and the occasional music from young campers. With around 100 beaches along this coast — from virgin s spots to nearby one with full tourist facilities — you can always choose your perfect mood. Head inland, and you’ll find quiet farming villages and the deep stillness of rural javanaise life. About the local people still live around us their traditional farmer and fishermen Javanese life. We ask you to respect them and their customs as we are their "guests". The local people and us we don't practice "tourists" or "foreigners" prices, same price for anybody. All the prices unlike tourists area do not include 15-20% services and taxes. We ask you to not use this opportunity to exploite them as they already have been for centuries. One of our philosophy is share, enrich not exploite. Their income and margin are very little that's why the prices are low. We encourage our visitors to round up and tip generously the people and the service you use and get if you are happy with it. They have the same right to get fair salary and have access to the same standard of living as anybody has. Not tipping may be seen by some people as you may not be happy with their meals, driving, massage or whatever they offer you. 10 to 20% is fair, but bear in mind that nowadays you can't buy much in a shop with 1000 or 2000 rupiah, so never leave just coins. You can also offer presents is you are invited or want to extra reward people. Tipping is not only good for your karma also you will get more respect and reward from the people. More you give is more you get in all the sense of the word. Please take note that our crew and people working for tourist at and around our area are not hospitality tourism professionals. People were farmers, fishermen, construction workers, public servant etc... So cannot expect to get the full 5* touristic area standard service & amenities. Our second philosophy is to limit our impact to the minimum on a fragile ecosystem area, with scarce natural resources to be shared with all the people living and visiting around the beaches. We don't provide AC but we provide a portable fan. An extra air-cooler or fans are available on demand. There is natural sea breeze and the architect built it in a way to create air circulation. However it is not hot like in cities as there is no cement & bungalows are surrounded by trees, forest for shade. No hot water showers (not a must in tropical hot country) but fresh water (we can if you really need it cook hot water) and we and the earth will be very happy if you save water as we have limited water tanks and spring capacity particularly during the dry season. Please save electricity as we still depend on government coal power station (turn off lights, limit charging batteries). We like to recommend to unplug here. No TV but we have internet we turn it on demand. The speed is variable. Don't abuse, detox & retreat is a must here. Limited 3/4G phone signal, Telkomsel is the best. Please come with your reusable water bottle which you can refill with safe drinking filtered water (we are part of refillmybottle community). we just ask small donations to be put into our donation box, which we use to finance our waste community project and the refill zero waste water station. Please be aware that in this area there aren't any trash management organised, people burn or dump trash in the nature, so please do not bring with you non compostable single use disposable plastic products as our place can't handle it or if needed bring it back with you to the city after your stay as many guests like to do. The closest ATM is 10 minutes away by foot and well furnish minimarket 30 minutes by scooter or car driving from our places. Only local warungs, shops with the essentials but you don't need to bring food & drinks from city as we can provide it & the warung too. Support local economy. Credit and debit cards are not accepted in the region. So please take enough cash and what you may need extra.
