I really love the stay at Hardy's. He and His family are extremely welcoming and his wife is an amazing cook. For sure you have lower your luxury standards but I think that just adds to the realness of the local experience! Cause that was what it was. Through Hardy I met so many interesting people and got to see so many beautiful places. The people are so friendly but most of the time it's their English which limits them. Hence by visiting and engaging with them this project really contributes to their skills. And in the other way I also got to learn a bit of Javanese! Thanks so much Hardy!

Never in my life have I felt so welcomed away from home as I have with Hardy but also in all of Temanggung. Hardy was always committed to making sure I had a great time and he took me to places I will never forget. Breathtaking waterfalls and stunning mountaintop sunrises were complemented with a unique cultural experience. I was able to meet so many kind and warm hearted locals - encounters that touched me deeply. Every day ended with one last highlight, which was Diah's amazing dinner. Come with an open mind and you will get a memory that lasts for a lifetime!

Hardi and his family were super welcoming, and all the family worked hard to make us feel included and safe. The surrounding area is fantastic and you get an opportunity to try a variety of things whilst meeting lots of different areas of the community. Dea, Hardi's wife is a fantastic cook and baker. Overall the experience was positive and very enriching. We stayed for two weeks. Communication slowed down on the latter part of the second week, leaving us a little unsure with what was happening. But overall great thanks Hardi 🤘🏻

Hardy welcomed me in his own home, I was able to live like a true javanese even during the shower. He showed me traditional dances and some of the activities the locals make as a business. It was a truly rich experience. Every single person from his community made me feel welcome, and I truly appreciated it. The food from Diah his wife was truly amazing!

Being a woman and travelling alone can be so scary at times. Hardi always made me feel safe, respected and made sure I was having fun! He is easy going and loves joking around, but also knows when to be responsable and serious. I could not recommend this experience enough. Getting out of your comfort zone isn't so terrifying when you have Hardi by your side :) The activities were varied and so interesting. We were always in touch with the local community and also nature. It was the best of both worlds. I learned so much during my stay! This little family will always be in my heart.

I had an amazing 10 days with Hardi! His communication from the start was really good and clear, which made the commute to the town very easy. The 10 days were a perfect balance of chilled and exploring and meeting the community. I learned so much about Temanggung during my stay and got to see some amazing places and meet lovely people. It can't go unsaid about his wife Dia's amazing home cooked food every evening which was a real highlight!! If you want to live like a local and immerse yourself in the local culture I can't recommend enough

I spent 10 days with Hardy and his family and it was, without doubt, one of the most valuable experiences I've ever had. 12/10, would recommend to everyone. I've eaten the best food ever (his wife is an incredible cook!!), seen the most amazing, untouched nature and had great, deep talks with Hardy and his friends. There is no fixed schedule, as he doesn't want to force anything, which I absolutely loved. My highlight was the extraordinary people I was able to meet here. They are all incredibly welcoming and kind-hearted. Hardy and his family will always have a special place in my heart🥰

Great way to learn about Javanese culture and interact with locals! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. There is a bit of a culture shock, especially if you are from the western countries, but that is part of the experience. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an immersive Indonesian experience.

I had an experience that left my heart heavy. It was a truly emotional and profound encounter. Every moment was filled with deep feelings and meaning, and it's something that will stay with me for a long time. While it wasn't easy, I appreciate the opportunity to have had such a impactful experience. Your reasonable needs could be compromise with Hardi. That's for sure. Dinner? Say less, hands down to the best in the house diyah.*she can bake too* If I could write a paragraph, I would. This is not my goodbye but my see you later. I'll see you guys soon but this time round, in Singapore!
