Homestay HT, Vĩnh Long: A Complete Travel Guide

Introduction

Tucked away in the quiet countryside of Vĩnh Long (Vietnamese spelling: Vĩnh Long, 永隆 in Chinese), Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, Homestay HT offers travelers a rare chance to step away from crowded tourist hubs and embrace the slow, gentle rhythm of rural delta life. Far from the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City, this family-run homestay blends authentic Vietnamese hospitality with comfortable, practical amenities, making it ideal for backpackers, pet owners, and families seeking an off-the-beaten-path Mekong experience.

Hotel Overview

Homestay HT is located in Cầu Đức Hòa, Ấp Hòa Thuận, Xã Trung Thành Đông, Huyện Vũng Liêm, Vĩnh Long Province, set amid sprawling green fruit orchards and quiet waterways that define the Mekong Delta. The property is tailored for self-sufficient travelers, with a range of thoughtful free facilities: free private on-site parking with no reservation required, free wired internet across the entire property, and a fully equipped simple kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, electric kettle, full cookware, and cleaning supplies for preparing home-cooked meals with local produce picked up from nearby markets.

Accommodations include extra-long beds (over 2 meters long), wardrobes, air conditioning, and options for both private and shared bathrooms, plus family rooms that suit groups traveling together. Outdoor space includes a lush garden, shaded terrace, and outdoor seating perfect for sipping morning coffee or watching sunset over the orchards. A big draw for pet owners: pets are welcome for no extra fee. The homestay is run by a local Vietnamese-speaking family that brings warm, personal hospitality to every stay.

Local Attractions

Three nearby highlights make this base particularly convenient for exploration:

• Vũng Liêm Floating Market: Just a 20-minute boat ride from the homestay, this authentic, uncommercialized floating market lets you watch local vendors sell fresh tropical fruit, Mekong seafood, and handmade rice noodles from wooden boats. Many vendors sell breakfast on board, so you can grab a bowl of hot hu tieu noodles for just a dollar or two.
• Mekong Fruit Orchard Tours: The surrounding countryside is dotted with generations-old family orchards growing pomelo, mangosteen, durian, and dragon fruit. Most orchards offer guided walks where you can pick and sample fruit straight from the tree, paired with fresh Mekong coconut water.
• Trung Thành Đông Ancient Brick Kilns: A 15-minute bicycle ride from the homestay, these 100-year-old traditional brick kilns still produce hand-made bricks using centuries-old techniques. Visitors can watch artisans at work and learn how the delta’s brick trade shaped local life for generations.

Travel Tips

Since the homestay only offers Vietnamese-speaking service, it’s helpful to download a offline translation app before you arrive. If you’re traveling without a car, book a local motorbike taxi from Vĩnh Long city center in advance— the ride takes roughly 45 minutes. Bring lightweight, breathable clothing and insect repellent for exploring orchards and waterways, and don’t forget to stop at the nearby village market on the weekend to pick up fresh ingredients for your kitchen at the homestay. Book your stay during fruit season (May to August) for the best selection of ripe, tropical fruit to sample.
