Rahtawu Valley Homestay Established During the Pandemic
KUDUS – The development of lodging in Rahtawu tells a unique story. Lembah Rahtawu Homestay was initiated by Sukari, a resident of Gondosari Village in the Gebog district, in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic impacted various employment sectors.
Before venturing into the hospitality business, Sukari worked as a contractor and ran a furniture business. The pandemic crippled construction activity, and during that period, he witnessed many workers from various regions being laid off.
He decided to launch his lodging business in Rahtawu, utilizing his background in the furniture industry to influence the architectural design.
Waste wood from his workshop was repurposed for walls and interior decor. The structure follows an ethnic industrial concept and lacks air conditioning, relying on the natural cool mountain air to ensure visitor comfort.
Lembah Rahtawu Homestay features five single-bed rooms, five double-bed rooms, and a gazebo. Additional amenities include a riverfront restaurant, free Wi-Fi, a prayer room, and parking facilities for motorcycles and cars.
Room rates range from IDR 250,000 to IDR 350,000, depending on the selection. Guests are also welcome to swim or relax in the river located near the property.
