With stunning views, and the chance to get up close with both flora and fauna, this is everything a nature lover could possibly ask for.
Contained within 23.3 hectares is more than you would imagine. Being elevated 250 metres above sea level means that the atmosphere is clean and crisp, a breath of fresh air away from the city.

Turn to the south for the best views of Parangtritis Beach and west to see Bantul city in all its glory.

More familiar favourites like mango and orange also grow here.
