Top choice in Borobudur
For a memorable stay, complete with world-heritage views, go for these stilted luxury cottages with transcendent outlooks over Borobudur Temple. Each of the standalone rooms feature a stylish, contemporary design, along with gallery windows and private balcony to take in the spectacle. Rates include entry to Borobudur.
They also have more generic motel rooms (double 2,000,000Rp), but given they don't have views they're overpriced.
