Hello! After a long break from hosting, here we are again! Omah Jegok is a home for you who wish to make your stay in town more meaningful by sharing your love in your spare time to help the animals in Yogyakarta as a volunteer for Animal Friends Jogja (AFJ) :) and/or giving donation to support AFJ with what you've paid for. AFJ is a grassroots, non-profit, volunteer-based animal protection group founded in 2010, solely funded from private donations & our own fundraising efforts. The space There're some changes of the appearance of the space and surrounding area, we will update and add new photos as soon as possible :) A Queen size bed, spacey enough for 2 persons. The homy accomodation is in an enviromental retreat, in natural surroundings supporting the vital work of Animal Friends Jogja (AFJ). Animal-friendly guests, volunteers, visiting artists, who are traveling to Jogja and looking for a homy-friendly-tranquil lodge instead of a basic hotel room are welcome. Our dawgz-stylee accommodation is located around 8 km to the north of Bantul City and around 2 km to the south of the famous Malioboro Street, in a setting of a riverbank, right before the meeting point of two running rivers at the end of the road. It's a hidden sanctuary in the southern part of Jogja, but only minutes away by motorbike or push bike to both traditional and contemporary art scenes and Prawirotaman tourism areas. You'll be spoiled with a lot more birds chirping, frogs singing, cats meowing, gamelan & dangdut sound, dogs barking (of course), kids playing in the river, and me yelling to the wildlife hunter wannabes than the annoying noise of the traffic. For you who enjoy stage-musical-theatrical art, 5 mins-ride further to the west will take you to Padepokan Seni Bagong Kussudiardja. You crave for nature tourism? No worries, there are many options and they are not going anywhere too far. The D.I.Y. is in your blood? Find Survive Garage, a grass root visual art community runs by our friend Bayu. You can also visit Needle N' Bitch, a local collective initiative focusing on gender, sexuality, and land rights issues where you can involve, participate, and initiate projects according to you skill and interest :) In their house project, you can access their DIY sewing and screenprinting studio, library, and garden. Fulfill your needs for the best damn thing under your skin: it's a pleasure to direct you to our talented tattoo artist friends for the everlasting tattoo project you've been dreaming of at reasonable price. Hello you all contemporary photographers! Let's hang out with the MES Boyz at MES56! Because giving is not just making a donation but it's about making a difference, you can spend time volunteering at Animal Friends Jogja! From cleaning, grooming, walking the dogs or just cuddling the furry friends rescued by AFJ, you can just take a small walk to the centre and volunteer there :) What You Get: Free Wi-fi Internet. Tea and coffee are provided throughout the day. You just need to boil the water. Fairly equipped open kitchen with a fridge. Two shared bathrooms with seated toilets. One of the bathrooms is equipped with hot & cold shower, the other one is to fulfill your need of splashy cold water 'mandi' after a hot tropical day. Fan is available in every room. Mosquito net can be provided upon request. That great feeling that you have contributed A LOT for the animals in need by staying here. The profit of what you've paid for goes directly to buy supplies for the animals at Animal Friends Jogja. 24/7 security guards who will wag their tails for you ;) Find more interesting-artsy-lively-lovely-relaxing-creative-fun-alternative-you name it activities while you're here. Guest access Cold beers for sale at the mini bar! And liquors delivery service can be arranged upon request. During your stay Me and my husband live at the main house at the upper part of the sloping land with the cats and the dogs. You'll be seeing us almost daily, often surrounded by our biggest fans (or most of the time: bosses); the cats and the dogs. My husband, Bandizt, usually goes out of town with his ska band for a tour during weekends. As Animal Friends Jogja Program Manager (or that we usually call my position is for the organisation), I work mostly at home and at Animal Friends Jogja's base camp-which is just a walking distance from Omah Jegok-when I'm not out to go where and about around Jogja or out of town for the sake of the animals :) It makes us happy to be able to have a chat, share a drink and make friends with you our lovely guests, but sometimes we have only limited time to do so. Other things to note We are vegans, and we would only serve vegetarian or vegan breakfast or help with vegetarian or vegan meals delivery order. We'd be more than thankful if you also keep the kitchen meat-free and palm oil free. We are vegans for ethical reasons, so we would only serve vegan breakfast or help you with vegetarian or vegan/plant-based meals delivery order to be enjoyed at Omah Jegok. We'd be more than thankful if you also keep the kitchen meat-free and also palm oil free :) Yes palm oil comes from a tree, but the industry has destroyed Indonesia's rain forests. It's sad but true. So please consider to go palm oil free as much as you can.
