Descrição
This plantation is a 19th-century Dutch Colonial heritage with lots of history and locally-harvested coffee. It is managed by one of the most influential and respected families in Blitar and has been handed down from generation to generation. In 2015, the property was opened to the public, offering tours through the coffee fields, three museums, and a warehouse-converted cafe that has the charm and relaxed vibes of a Dutch-Indies past life. Rated number one on Trip Advisor as a Blitar “must-see”, this coffee plantation is a perfect place to learn not only about coffee breeding and brewing, but also about history and Javanese culture as well.
The coffee plantation lies on the slopes of Kelud Volcano and is surrounded by small villages, lush green land traced by several nature trails, and many interesting archaeological sites. It is a two hours drive west of Malang, and only 20 minutes to Blitar City.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
You can learn pretty much anything about coffee, from how it is grown, to all the various methods of brewing. We like to better ourselves in all ways possible, so we welcome any suggestions or perspectives you might like to share as well!
Blitar is not a huge city but one that has a very rich, historical story, which we love to share with our volunteers! Dotted with fun and interesting family-run tourist attractions, there are some really cool and different activities to do on your days off. You can find peace and quiet here, but you are just a short ride away from some nightlife as well -- best of all worlds!
Ajuda
We may organize small English lessons for our staff, as well short afternoon lessons for village children from nearby schools.
During downtime, we may ask you to help us with gardening, light weeding on the plantation, and general housekeeping.
If you are interested in really getting your hands dirty, I would recommend coming in June when the harvest takes place.
Ps: Many people here love to meet foreigners and will approach you for small talk and pictures. So, if you are a shy or a private person, then this is not for you.

My secretary needs confirmation from me to accept an 68 year-old woman proposal. I had to consider for a while, then I answered "well .. why not?"
And then it turned out to be fun. She was lovely and brought happiness to our place. She entertained our guests very well, and really enjoyed the work.

Great workaway experience, particularly if you say "Yes" to all the great opportunities that you will have. Lots of smiling, laughing and acting like a rockstar. Although the time was very quiet because of Ramadan, I still managed to have a lot of fun and occasionally be productive. The staff here are incredibly generous and try their best,… read more

A brave, independent, and adventurous woman. She had her first Workaway in our place, and she did very well. She entertained the guest, and sometimes became the barista (not that professional, said her .. but enough to shock some local guests). She was easygoing and cooperative, except about the food, because she didn't like sweet (anyway, our… read more

This is a wonderful place and oasis for any traveller. The job is kind od funny - you'll be trates like a celebrity and your main job is to take photos with everyone who wants to (which is basically all visitors that lay eyes on you!) You will get so spoiled with attention and concern from the whole crew, not to mention the good food and the… read more

Iza was not very talkative, but she smiled a lot. Our peaceful place seemed to be matched with her personality, that is how she enjoyed staying in our plantation. A brave, independent, and adventurous girl. She never complained and just do the job respectfully. She did good work, and we really glad that Iza came.

I spent 2 great weeks in this place and really had fun. I'm very grateful for everything. I met incredibly friendly people there. Mr Wima took us for a tour and gave a lot of interesting and detailed information about the plantation, Blitar city, history and culture. His knowledge and personality impressed me a lot. Arin, his assistant, is amazing… read more

The Gallegos are one of our best volunteers. They were enthusiastic, cooperative, and did good works. They entertain our guest very well, never stop smiling :)
Indonesian and Mexican share many things in common, so we became like family. After all, Ernesto and Metzin brought joy and happiness to our plantation.

It's really easy to say a lot of great things about this place and most easier, about the people who work there. Sadly, the hardest thing was having to say goodbye. When we left (yesterday haha) was so sad for both of us.
We felt like home, this experience was one of those things that you really not plan but somehow it turned out to be amazing.… read more

Cassi, Paula, and Maria were very helpful to our plantation. And you know .. Brazilian, they really brought happiness to this place. They laughed, danced, and sang to make this plantation "lively". These Brazilian girls are every Workaway's host needed :)

The place is amazing and the people even more! We learned a lot about Java culture and the history of Indonesia, specially the city Blitar. Our hosts were very thoughtful, the food was great and the accommodations very good.

Felix and Erik helped us to create promo and marketing concepts which is very useful for us now. And they entertained the guests so well. It was fun to play football with Felix, well he is very talented. However, Erik didn't play football because of his injury. Yes, it was unfortunate that, unlike the other volunteers, they didn't learn much about… read more

Hey its Erik & Felix,
we stayed two weeks in this plantation and learned a lot about Blitar and it's history. The people were very friendly and took care of us.
It was off season when we stayed there so there was not much to do, not even on the weekends, which are supposed to be the busiest. So we played cards and drank coffee very often.… read more

We're really sorry for what happened to Abdul when he was suddenly taken by the immigration officers and held there almost one day, but we did our best to help him out. Well, that was the first time such thing happened to volunteer, and hopefully the last. Abdul was a good cook, and he cooked us Moroccan cuisine, which was very delicious. He even… read more

He is a nice guy who didn't talk to much, but work a lot. He never complain about anything, but was very cooperative. Do not think that being an Italian means that he likes football. But if you want to talk about motor racing he would be enthusiastic. And he is a good cook also! Don't miss his Italian cuisine, you should try it ;)

I spent only a couple of days full of happines. Work at the plantation is funny and interact with the customers became a kind of game. The people are very nice and i felt at home. The city of Blitar is rich of history. First of all, the history of the life of Sukarno, the first Indonesian President. Some fun is waitnig you.

I can see from my heart Lukasz is a good man. He was really eager to learn about our culture, and quite serious about learning Bahasa Indonesia. He always wrote everything he learned on his book. It was funny to see he's carrying his diary everywhere. He has sense a humor and really enjoyed any meals he had. The most important thing is, he was a… read more
