Very nice house and great hosts. Most people pass through Jepara on their way to the Karimunjawa. We stayed here for 4 days and had a great time. Thanks to Peter to set us up with motorcycles, snorkeling gear, taking us on a hike and generally being a welcoming host.

It’s in the middle of nowhere, so there aren’t many places close where you can eat.

We happened to be the only people at the place so the owner gave us a free upgrade. Very forward & fair people plus a great breakfast!

Loved everything

Simply amazing, specially Peter that helped us with all the organization of our trip. Garden house is the perfect gateway to karimunjava. It’s clean, it’s friendly, it has a nice view on the bay and breakfast on the terrace is great!

By far the most spacious and luxurious room I have stayed at in Indonesia so far. A really peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. And a good restaurant just a couple of minutes walk away. Outstanding value for money.

Everything was good

The property is in a really peaceful and quiet environment. The owner Mr. Pieter made sure everything was comfortable for us and he even helped us with some furniture shopping and information regarding the same. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Nothing comes to mind

Wow. I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. The hosts are incredible and accommodating. Peter gave me recommendations on where to eat, people to talk to about business and just generally friendly. The rooms are huge and the outlook to the bay is wonderful. The shower was hot and the water pressure strong. They have two super friendly dogs, a lovely little ankle licker called Star and this mound of an animal, Wendy. These two will lick you from one side of the pool area to the other. I felt like being at home here. After a day in the madness it is an incredible respite. You should definitely stay here if for one night of for a week. Well worth it!

Garden House Hotel is an oasis of space and light! Gorgeous, spotless, airy, great view! Hosts very friendly and helpful. Situated close to ferry port and you can arrange a drop off in time for boat! We were served breakfast (continental and bloody delicious) on our private terrace so we could enjoy the view and the space there is an inviting pool, we arrived in darkness tho from a long journey. It is a pity to stay just one night, this is a lovely spot. Truly luxurious. There is air con but with the breeze you barely need it. Thank you ..I hope to visit again!!

Liked everything but missed a little bit a nice reading light and a calm terrace light for the evening atmosphere.

Coffee, fresh fruits, croissants and jam, omelette… Delicious and all for a very good price and brought to my terrace.

We stayed with Peter before traveling to Karimunjawa. He and his wife were a big help. They helped us get the tickets for the ferry and to rent motorbikes. They also told us good spots to visit in Jepara. The stay was very pleasent and we really felt welcome and like home. On our way back we stayed another day in Jepara just to spent another night in the Garden House.

that we just stayed for one night. In the retrospective we should have stayed at least two days here.

very modern and nice house, with a gorgeous pool and a very spacious roof top terrace. Also the great hospitality from Peter and his wife.

Very quiet area, no traffic noise or call for prayer. Home like feeling, we didn’t see other guests much. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was peaceful, we were only customers at the table eating and talking with the owners. We rented also a scooter from the homestay. We didn’t have time to swim in the pool but it looked clean and the water was warm.

The bedroom is really big, it has a huge window and terrace, AC and moreover the bed was enormous and so comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful and clean. Very high quality/price accommodation. Finally, the staff was so friendly with us and they recommended us many different things to do in our trip to Kalimunjawa. Undoubtedly, Garden House is a great place to stay 😊
