Welcome
to Official
website of Margo Utomo Agro Resort and Margo Utomo Hill
View Resort .We will always share our experinces with all of
you for a
better future.It
was in 1943 when the late Mr. H. R.M. Moestadjab the founder of Margo
Utomo inherited piece of land in Kalibaru, Banyuwangi. He
thereafter continue his father’s business in this land, where coconut,
nutmeg, coffee, pepper and cloves are grown, not to forget the milking
cows farm with only small number of cows at that time, the only farm in
this region which provides nutrient food during difficult time.
1975,
the market prices of all
plantation products were falling down,
which made it even tougher for him to manage the agro farm. He then
came up with his brilliant idea to set and introduce a new tourism
concept which we call now an Agro Resort. A perfect combination of
tourism and plantation business, where people will enjoy the true
living in the village like Kalibaru and also learn the wide varieties
of plants and tropical flowers.
Started
from his own house to
welcome and host the guests he thereafter
expanded up to 51 rooms and its called Margo Utomo Agro Resort. In 1994
he successfully opened a sister hotel located only 3 kms away called
Margo Utomo Hill View Resort, with a different concept of
living.
He passed away in June
2000, buried in his beloving and memorable place, Kalibaru. His wife,
Mrs. Hj. Sayati Moestadjab or more known as “Ibu Yati” passed away in September
2008 And Their
daughter Endang Mariana, continues the “treasure” which they left
behind. Endang has successfully managed to expand the milking cows farm
up to more than 100 cows, distributing fresh milk
around banyuwangi and bali also producing other dairy items
such
as yoghurt and mozzarella cheese.
