HOMESTAYS: Indraloka and Puri Anggraini Homestay provide a unique opportunity for school groups to stay with an Indonesian family in a large guest home. This is not a one-to-one situation, as with some homestay arrangements. However, students and teachers can enjoy eating with the family and possibly helping with food preparation. These two large guest homes hold a maximum of 18-20 guests each. Rooms are twin or triple share with private facilities. Theses arrangements have proven to be excellent for groups wishing to experience family life in Yogyakarta.Hotel accommodation in Yogyakarta is available on request. For a group size of 20 plus, 2 Homestays need to be used.
