Hotel Overview

Located at 189 Ly Thai To, Cam Chau, Kai Chao, Hoi An, Vietnam, Chiavehn Homestay caters to every traveler’s needs with thoughtful, well-priced facilities. All rooms are air-conditioned, non-smoking, and fitted with comfortable extra-length beds, flat-screen cable TVs, and free Wi-Fi. En-suite bathrooms come stocked with complimentary toiletries, towels, and slippers, and many rooms open out to private balconies with garden or city views. On-site amenities include a 24-hour front desk with English and Vietnamese-speaking staff, free private parking and valet service, daily housekeeping, and luggage storage. Start each day with a complimentary breakfast of fresh local fruit and Vietnamese classics, then rent a bike directly from the homestay to explore the area. For hands-on travelers, the homestay also offers cooking classes where you can learn to prepare iconic dishes like cao lầu and white rose dumplings using fresh local ingredients.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within easy reach of the homestay:

• Hoi An Ancient Town: A 10-minute bike ride away, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its 16th-century waterfront merchant architecture, colorful floating lanterns, and centuries-old Japanese Covered Bridge. Wander the lantern-lit streets after dark, join a lantern release on the Thu Bon River, and sample street food at the nightly night market.
• Cam Thanh Coconut Village: A 15-minute cycle south of the homestay, this lush wetland village offers quiet bamboo boat rides through winding coconut groves, led by local villagers. Learn about traditional coconut harvesting and stop for fresh coconut water straight from the source.
• An Bang Beach: Just 4 kilometers from the property, this soft-sand golden beach is perfect for a day of swimming, sunbathing, or fresh seafood lunch at a beachfront shack. It’s far less crowded than the more tourist-focused beaches further south, making it ideal for a relaxed afternoon.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (June to August) and the annual Hoi An Lantern Festival (held on the 14th day of each lunar month), as rooms fill up quickly. Request a garden-view room if you prefer quiet over street views, and arrange your airport transfer through the homestay for a hassle-free arrival from Da Nang International Airport, 45 minutes away. Don’t miss the chance to join the on-site cooking class—many guests rate it as the highlight of their Hoi An trip. Finally, rent a bike from the homestay (far cheaper than hiring taxis) to explore at your own pace; the flat terrain around Cam Chau makes cycling easy for all skill levels.
