The Riverside Javanese Cottages

On the cool Yogyakarta plateau in Pakem, The Riverside Javanese Cottages is a short drive from Ullen Sentalu Museum and Merapi Golf Course. It’s a peaceful base for exploring Merapi Museum, Bubrah Temple and other Yogyakarta sights.

Six intimate Javanese-style cottages sit among garden terraces and catch fresh, cool breezes. Rooms feature LED TVs, complimentary bottled water, portable fans, slippers and toiletries, with daily housekeeping for a neat, relaxed stay.

Make a splash in the outdoor pool and lazy river, sip at the swim-up bar, or lounge on the terrace and in the garden. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge) keep things effortless — plus wake-up calls from cool plateau mornings.

24-hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry/dry-cleaning services are available. Complimentary wireless internet is provided, and a roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge.

The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a complimentary local-cuisine breakfast is offered daily from 7:00–10:00. You’ll also find a coffee shop/café, 24-hour room service and a swim-up bar for casual drinks.
