SERANG BEACH · SOUTH BLITAR
Stay with a local family, share stories over coffee, and experience nature, culture, and community on the southern coast of Blitar.
ROOTED IN CULTURE
Coffee brings us together, home makes us family, and nature teaches us to care.
THREE WAYS TO EXPERIENCE DIKASIH
Visit the coffee space, stay in the family Homestay, or join a longer cultural and environmental exchange.
A small coffee space for conversation, culture, learning, home-roasted coffee, cacao, herbal drinks, and jamu.
A simple family-hosted stay shaped by bamboo, natural stone, morning light, shared meals, and honest facilities.
A volunteer and cultural exchange program for travelers who want to live simply, learn locally, and care for nature.
COME AS GUESTS
A small, personal Homestay where guests share the rhythm of a real home rather than passing through a hotel lobby.
DIKASIH HOMESTAY
Rooms use fans, shared bathrooms, and natural ventilation. There is no air conditioning or hot water. The experience is built around family hospitality, coffee, food, conversation, and the southern coast of Blitar.
ROOMS & RATES
All rooms are simple, fan-cooled, lockable, connected to Wi-Fi, and use shared bathrooms.
INCLUDED WITH YOUR STAY
Homestay guests may enjoy regular Dikasih Kopi drinks during opening hours. Coconut Milk and Mangrove Syrup additions are charged separately.
NGOPI · DISKUSI · EDUKASI
Coffee becomes an opening for conversation: about local life, writing, culture, the environment, travel, and the different places our guests call home.
FROM GARDEN TO GLASS
Local ingredients, home roasting, and simple drinks made for long conversations.
NATURE & CULTURE
Dikasih’s environmental rhythm is guided by the 5M movement: planting, watering, caring, guarding, and allowing future generations to harvest the benefits.
LOCAL LIFE, MEANINGFUL MOMENTS
Experiences are arranged according to host availability, local schedules, season, weather, materials, and participant needs.
Learn about beans, home roasting, brewing, and the stories carried by a cup of coffee.
Prepare simple local food, understand ingredients, and share a meal around the family table.
Talk about stories, scripts, novels, Kindle publishing, travel writing, or creative practice.
Read, write, drink coffee, rest, reflect, and reconnect without turning stillness into a promise of therapy.
Learn through conversation, food, language, natural dye, wayang, keris, and daily village life.
Support responsible environmental learning without guaranteed wildlife encounters or handling.
VOLUNTEER & CULTURAL EXCHANGE
Come to help. Stay to learn. Leave connected. Nature Guardians is separate from an ordinary Homestay booking and applications are managed through Worldpackers.
