Holiday houses in Thạnh Phú District

From the moment we arrived Summer was super attentive and made us feel so welcome. The home is beautifully decorated and the room like a sanctuary from the general very basic rooms throughout Vietnamese Homestays. Beautiful linen, pretty touches and a feminine feel. No surprise seeing as the home is run by 4 strong women 💪🏼 (Summer, Tina, Mum, Aunty!) Summer’s local recommendations were fabulous. We ate at CocoSeafood one night and Lau Nuong 35 the next. Both brilliant. Breakfast is included and delightful, either eggs or local soup. We tried both, yum! Thanks Mum and Aunty for great food. We slept so well, the place is so peaceful. We used both the bikes (free) and the scooter to explore the local area. Tina also needs a special mention - what a firecracker! She has a wicked sense of humour and we loved chatting to her. Thanks so much ladies for the best stay. Over all highly recommended.

Tan was a tremendous host, exceedingly helpful and we especially appreciated being cooked dinner by Tan and his staff and being able to ride bicycles around the countryside. a beautiful, calm spot. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at Innerzen homestay. Linh and Zung are two amazing hosts which made us feel very welcome. Could not recommend this place enough, it was truly a highlight of our time in HCM City, and it was a perfect getaway from the busy city!

all perfect, thank you very much!

I’ll never forget staying at Tan’s place, a luxurious retreat in the middle of a coconut tree forest. The food in the restaurant was absolutely amazing every night, eating whilst watching the fireflies in the trees. The small details in this place are what make it so special, Tan, Chi and the rest of the team call each guest by name, remembering their preferences, likes and dislikes. You really feel at home in the most wonderful paradise, it’s so special.

Thuan hosts an amazing homestay in a peaceful part of Ben Tre province, and his tours are excellent. My husband and I stayed three nights in the house (with Thaun and his dad in the other two bedrooms), ate breakfast each morning at his sisters' restaurant/snack shop next door (and one night she delivered dinner to the house's patio for us). Good AC in the bedrooms and wifi throughout. There are also two guesthouses on the property, which is a coconut farm; the newer of the two is available only sometimes. Thuan is incredibly helpful and communicative, with great English. Our two different tours with him, by bike and motor boat and row boat were just fantastic and full of interesting sites and anecdotes. And delicious food.

I had a great time with Thuần and his family. Their farm is located in a beautiful area of the Mekong Delta, with beautiful nature and few tourists. I enjoyed the free bike and scooter rental - Thuần even taught me how to ride a motorbike! Thuần shared his knowledge about the area with me, showed me nice spots for food and offered me fruit from the farm - I enjoyed free bananas and coconuts during my entire stay. I had a nice breakfast every morning at his sisters restaurant for a fair price. One of the highlights of my stay was for sure the boat tour through the Mekong Delta, including a visit of the nearby coconut factory and local crafts people. His American sister and her teenager child made my stay even more special by showing me around, inviting me to dinner and cooking together. If you’re looking for a local experience off the tracks, this is it. I enjoyed my time here a lot and hope I can come back some day!

Blown away by this place. The Haven retreat turned out to be my favourite (of 14) places I stayed in Vietnam over 5 weeks. I should prefix I am a VERY fussy traveller so can be hard to please sometimes… Tan is the definition of hospitality- but more than that, we left as friends. He speaks genuinely perfect English which made sharing a joke and a wine (or 5) a joy, I learnt so much from him. Ask him about the history of the house, everything was built with intention, from the perfect placement of the lights to avoid light pollution, and his refusal to cut down certain trees (much to the frustration of his architect) because he wanted to keep the nature and the local fireflies. I ate there every night (3) cooking was perfection and all made to order. The dog Moka is adorable, but if you feed him at dinner time you will be his little servant at every meal (my fault…) It’s also a perfect place to hire a scooter as the nearby roads are safe and quiet. Be sure to try the beers X
