Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 15-minute walk of the homestay:

• Hoi An Ancient Town: Just five minutes from your door, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a maze of 16th-century wooden shophouses, covered Japanese Bridge, colorful lantern shops, and street food vendors selling banh mi and cao lau. At night, thousands of silk lanterns light up the Thu Bon River for an unforgettable stroll.
• Japanese Covered Bridge: Built in the 17th-century by Japanese trading communities, this iconic landmark is Hoi An’s most photographed site, complete with a small pagoda and moss-covered stone walls that tell centuries of trade and cultural exchange history.
• Central Market (Cho Hoi An): A 10-minute walk away, this bustling market is the best place to sample local street food, buy handwoven silk, and pick up souvenirs. Wander the fresh produce stalls, grab a bowl of steaming hu tieu noodle soup for less than $1, and watch local artisans carve wooden lanterns.

Travel Tips

Since the homestay has no on-site parking, opt for a pre-booked paid airport transfer from Da Nang International Airport (roughly 45 minutes away) to avoid the hassle of finding parking in the crowded ancient town. Book well in advance during peak season (March to August) as family rooms fill up fast. Take advantage of the free bicycle rental to explore the nearby rice paddies and An Bang Beach, a 20-minute ride from the homestay. Don’t skip the included breakfast—local guests consistently rank it one of the best in central Hoi An. Finally, don’t forget to bring cash for paid
