Homestays in Pacitan

If there is paradise on earth it is Harry´s Ocean House in Pacitan. Everything about it is beautiful. The dorm, where you basically sleep in the open, the common area, everything. It is a place where you will find chill people, can enjoy surfing with literally no people in the water (apart from the people staying at Harry´s and few locals) and not many other tourists. For me it is the spot to learn how to surf, since it is a beach break (safe), only few surfers, but still some good swell. It is perfect for relaxing and extending your stay to more than just a few days (I ended up staying a month). You can rent a surfboard and scooter for a really fair price (cheapest I have had in my travels). Tina and Gayun who run the hostel are super friendly too. I am already planning to come back at the end of my travels :)

Super nice and super friendly hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and felt very welcome. Thanks a lot😊!

Best place, best people and best food in Town. Love it.

Clean, comfortable rooms, lovely staff, delicious breakfast (ask for pancakes the day before!).

Staying at Villa Hembers isn’t just about surfing or escaping into nature—it’s about becoming part of a family. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed not only by the wonderful owners, Cuboh and Wiwin and their children, but also by their circle of family and friends who make this place truly special. Whether it’s life wisdom from Bege, the calm support of Julian, or the contagious energy of Wiwin and Siti, everyone plays a part in making your stay unforgettable. The atmosphere is uniquely homely—relaxed, nurturing, and full of genuine connection. There’s always someone around to talk to, to guide you, or to simply share a meal with. I arrived with a deep fear of water after a traumatic experience in Portugal, but thanks to Cuboh’s surf lessons and the gentle encouragement from his team, I not only got back on the board, I fell in love with the ocean again. But the magic doesn’t stop there. One evening, I was invited to a dinner and when I offered to help, I was gently guided by Siti through the cooking process—turning it into an unexpected and delightful “cooking class”. I learned so much and felt genuinely included in something special. Another day, we walked the beach after sunset, keeping an eye out for turtle nests—part of the small but meaningful conservation efforts that Cuboh and his friends are involved in. The location is perfect: just a 2-minute walk to the quiet, untouched part of the beach, and only a short ride to the livelier tourist spots if you feel like a change. At night, you’re serenaded by the uninterrupted sounds of nature—no mosques, no traffic, just a wild, beautiful cocoon of chirps and waves. I came to Villa Hembers alone, hoping to make a shift in my life after a long stretch of career burnout. My partner stayed at home, but I never felt lonely. Not for a moment. This place holds space for you in exactly the way you need it, without even asking.

Great place, we had a great time. Close to the beach and very practical for surfing. Nice place to stay with friends, because of the relaxing top floor shared space.

At Sackstone’s you will make lots of memories and friends at the same time. Mama and the kitchen team are amazing at accommodating special wishes. Great atmosphere, we will come back! Terima kashi ❤️

Staff were all so friendly, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Location is amazing
