Efata Homestay
Our homestay is located in a nice family compound. It is really close to Borobudur temple. All the bedrooms in our homestay are en-suite with nice outdoor seating area facing the garden. You have a real opportunity to relax completely. You can feel homey and get any privacy.
I was an English teacher in the past. I started being a host seven years ago. Being a host is a golden opportunity for me to show you more of the local tradition. I am always excited to share information about locals' activity in Borobudur. For certainty, I will give you some good tips and tricks about the way you can explore Borobudur and its neighborhood.
There are some activities worth trying such as biking in the nearby village and having a short trekking on the hill outside the temple. You will have an opportunity to enjoy the scenic view and explore the local's life. Authentic life is obviously depicted through the local people's daily activities, Seeing how people make tofu, brown sugar, rice cracker and pottery are some of them. Come and find a little moment of joy soon.
