This plantation is a 19th-century Dutch Colonial heritage with lots of history and locally-harvested coffee. It is managed by one of the most influential and respected families in Blitar and has been handed down from generation to generation. In 2015, the property was opened to the public, offering tours through the coffee fields, museums, and a warehouse -converted cafe that has the charm and relaxed vibes of a Dutch-Indies past life.

Mr Wima, his family and all the staff made me feel really at home. There were no other volunteers for the length of my stay but i never felt lonely and had plenty to do in my off time because I was always invited somewhere. The work tasks were all pretty varied and I enjoyed seeing the process of how the coffee is made. I also had fun making some content for the plantation and meeting locals who were visiting, all of which were super friendly, curious and keen to have conversations with me. Absolutely love everyone who works here, they are a asset to the plantation. Thanks the host

Hati brought such a lovely energy to her time at De Karanganjar. She was friendly, hardworking, adaptable, and always respectful of the local culture. One of our favorite moments was our treasure hunt, made even more fun because Hati and our CEO both love UFO stories! Hati also won a beautiful De Karanganjar T-shirt, making the adventure even more memorable. Thank you, Hati, for being part of our journey. We really enjoyed having you here and hope you’ll come back to visit us again!

Momo was a wonderful part of the De Karanganjar family — friendly, hardworking, and always bringing positive energy. We truly appreciated how well she adapted while respecting the local culture.
We’ll never forget the special goat satay moment 😄 Thank you for all your help and kindness, Momo. Hope to see you again at De Karanganjar someday!
Warm Regards ,
De Karanganjar Team

Personally my favorite Worldpackers experience so far. The people made me feel at home. It was very welcoming. You also get to experience Javanese culture in a way I never thought I would. The host sometimes does tour guides and you'll learn more about Blitar. When it comes to the tasks it is mainly working at the cafe in the weekends, weekdays can vary from being at the cafe, social work, cleaning or helping at the plantation.

We were received so warmly at the host. It was truly like making new family. Pak Wima, his wife and kid are so lovely. It felt like we were the first volunteer ever, when they've already received so many. We felt respected as volunteers and it was as much about our experience, as about what we had to offer. All the staff was also amazing. We'll miss everyone! The work varied but often we served in the cafe, which at times could be slow. We did cross-culture work, a podcast, weeding, and cleaning the property. We shared private room with bathroom, which was simple but nice!

I had a really wonderful volunteering experience at the host! The tasks consist of mostly helping serve customers in the cafe, as well as helping with some cleaning/gardening and sorting beans. The hours were well communicated and respected. The entire staff is super amazing, Mr. Wima and his family are truly wonderful people and really make you feel super welcome. You get to learn a lot and also have a lot of time to relax. I would definitely recommend this position to anyone! It's a beautiful location and you have opportunities to see the surrounding area and try lots of local food
