Jona’s Homestay

Malang


This long-running homestay in a colossal colonial villa is run by a sweet family. The location in an affluent neighbourhood is also convenient and quiet. Even though the rooms are aged, it's still comfortable enough if you get the right room – some are definitely better than others, so ask to see a few before settling in.

A basic breakfast is available, as is cheap beer. It hires bicycles and scooters and runs Bromo tours.
