We are a small hostel and community project located in an urban village in the center of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Our project focuses on urban farming, sustainability, and cultural exchange. We are trying to create small green spaces in the city and bring together travelers, volunteers, and local neighbors through simple activities.
One of our main goals is to develop urban farming initiatives, where we grow plants and experiment with small sustainable gardening ideas in an urban environment.
Volunteers also help support informal English practice with local kids and assist in organizing small community activities. These activities change depending on the season and the current projects, so volunteers often have the opportunity to bring their own ideas.
Because our hostel is located inside a local urban village, volunteers experience authentic daily life in Indonesia and interact with the local community.
At the same time, the work schedule is flexible, which leaves plenty of free time to explore Yogyakarta, visit temples like Borobudur or Prambanan, discover local cafés, or travel around the region.

🏡 Accommodation & Fee
Volunteers stay comfortably in our hostel dorm together with other travelers and volunteers.
Because hosting volunteers creates additional expenses for the hostel, there is a small fee of 5€ per day that covers the basic costs of staying here.
We provide:
☕ Breakfast with coffee every morning
💧 Free drinking water in the hostel
🍲 Sometimes shared meals together
If the fee is a problem please contact us and we will find a solution
🕒 Tasks & Hours
To keep a good balance between volunteering and free time, we usually ask volunteers to help around 3–4 hours per day, 4–5 days per week.
