Travel Tips

Di 7 Homestay is a 2-hour drive or private bus ride from Ho Chi Minh City, so book your transport in advance if you’re coming from the capital. If you plan to explore by bicycle, confirm the rental fee and check the bike’s condition at check-in to avoid unexpected charges. Vung Tau is hottest and most crowded between June and August, so pack lightweight, breathable clothing and sunscreen, and book your stay at Di 7 Homestay at least two weeks in advance during peak holiday periods. Finally, don’t leave without trying the local specialty, Vung Tau grilled oysters with garlic butter, from a street stall within walking distance of the homestay.
