Travel Tips

Book your stay during the dry season (October to April) for the best hiking and swimming weather; bring layers, as hilltop evenings can be cool even in summer. Request grocery delivery in advance if you plan to cook a group barbecue, and confirm pricing for paid activities (fishing, table tennis, karaoke, cleaning) upon check-in. The homestay is entirely non-smoking indoors, so smokers should use designated outdoor areas. If you’re driving from Hanoi, the property’s free private parking makes it easy to explore the region at your own pace, and the homestay can arrange local driver services if you don’t have your own vehicle.
