Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within easy reach of the homestay:

• Hoi An Ancient Town: Just a 10-minute walk from the homestay, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a maze of 16th-century wooden shophouses, covered bridges, and lantern-lit riverbanks. Don’t miss the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge, a centuries-old pagoda-topped crossing, and the nightly lantern release ritual on the Thu Bon River.
• Cua Dai Beach: A 10-minute bike ride from the homestay, this soft golden-sand beach offers a refreshing escape from the heat of the town. Stop at a beachside shack for fresh grilled squid and cold Vietnamese beer after a morning of sightseeing.
• Tra Que Vegetable Village: Three kilometers from the homestay, this centuries-old organic farming village lets visitors join locals to harvest vegetables, learn traditional farming techniques, and cook a local meal with your fresh pickings. It’s an easy stop on the homestay’s guided cycling tour.

Travel Tips

Book your room in advance during peak season (June to August) to secure family rooms or terrace access. If you’re arriving from Da Nang International Airport, pre-book the homestay’s paid airport transfer for a hassle-free 45-minute ride directly to the property. Bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring the ancient town’s cobblestone streets, and don’t forget sunscreen and insect repellent for days spent cycling the countryside. The homestay’s central location means you can leave your bags here and explore Hoi An car-free, making it the ideal home base for your Vietnam getaway.
