Why Cottages Are Better for Group Stays Than Hotels in Jogja

When planning a group trip — whether it’s for a company retreat, student event, family gathering, or community activity — one big question always comes up:

“Should we book a hotel or rent a cottage?”

If you’re traveling with a group and want a space that feels more personal, connected, and flexible, the answer might be simpler than you think. Here’s why a cottage-style stay is often a better choice for group accommodations — especially in a place like Yogyakarta.


1. More Togetherness, Less Separation

Hotels usually separate guests into different floors and rooms with limited common areas. In contrast, cottages are often grouped close together — with shared outdoor spaces, dining areas, or even open-air lounges.

At TZY-NO Cottage, for example, a group can book multiple adjacent cottages, hang out on the shared terrace, or even gather in the open garden. It feels like one big house — not a building full of strangers.


2. Flexible Setup for Various Activities

Need a short meeting in the morning, a games session in the afternoon, and a bonfire at night? Hotels aren’t designed for that kind of flexibility.

Cottages often come with semi-private open spaces that are perfect for:

  • Group discussions or mentoring circles
  • Family dinners or potluck nights
  • Outdoor games or chill corners
  • Creative workshops or photo sessions

It’s this freedom of flow that makes cottage stays feel more natural for group energy.


3. Better Privacy Without Losing Connection

Group travel doesn’t mean everyone wants to sleep in the same room. Cottages offer the perfect balance: your group stays close, but still gets the privacy of separate bedrooms or even separate units — with easy access to each other.

This works especially well for:

  • Office teams with mixed departments
  • Student groups with male/female separation
  • Big families with children and grandparents

4. More Affordable (When You Split the Cost)

Let’s talk numbers. Booking 5 hotel rooms for 10–15 people? Pricey.
Booking a full cottage property for your group? Surprisingly affordable — especially if you split the cost.

At TZY-NO, group packages are available in two formats:

  • Sultan Style – exclusive use of the whole cottage complex
  • Standard Style – per-person pricing while sharing the space with other guests
    You choose what fits your budget.

5. A Place to Actually Feel at Home

At the end of the day, a group trip is about creating memories together — and that’s hard to do in the hallway of a hotel.

Cottage stays give you a more human, more connected, more relaxed experience. Whether you’re roasting marshmallows at night or doing sunrise yoga in the garden, it just feels more like your space.
