One for cat and dog lovers, this arty homestay run by Animal Friends Jogja doubles as a shelter for rescued animals. It's a basic setup with only a couple of rooms (no air-con) in a forested residential area on the confluence of two small rivers, 5km from downtown Yogya. It costs 50,000Rp to get here by taxi.
