Description from owner

Description

Private, quiet, Alamkita's 2 bungalows are 15 minutes to center of town, surrounded by trees and stunning rice field views with fresh-water swimming pool. Perfect for short or long-term stays.

If you are single or a couple; a consultant, here on business, a writer, or work for an NGO or university for short or longer-term stay in Yogya, you'll appreciate our relaxing, peaceful privacy, natural surroundings and close access to the city.

Alamkita is also perfect for tourists or your house guests who are looking for a quiet place to come back to after a day of sightseeing.

Situated on a bluff above the river, surrounded by bamboo groves and towering trees, looking out over lush green rice fields and small fish ponds below, you'll enjoy beautiful views from your private balcony - after taking a refreshing dip in the fresh water swimming pool.

Alamkita means "our natural world" and is a small private homestay designed and built by owner, with two separate bungalows located right on the river at the edge of a Javanese village.
