Mekong Rustic CAI Be

From the minute we met our wonderful guide Nhi at the ferry port and she whisked us off to the delightful rustic homestay, we knew we were going to thoroughly enjoy our 2 night stay in the Mekong Delta. We were the first couple to sleep in the brand new double bungalow and really appreciated the mosquito canopy over the large, comfortable bed, the rocking chairs and hammock on the spacious private verandah overlooking the water hyacinths, private bathroom/shower room and plenty of fans to keep us cool and refreshed. The host family were welcoming and cooked us lovely meals throughout stay and their little toddler is an absolute delight. Loved relaxing on the verandah late at night listening to birdsong and insects chirping and being woken up early morning by the resident roosters! Nhi went out of her way to make us enjoy every minute of our stay. She took us on fabulous bike rides around the island where we stopped off at various homes, watching them make handicrafts out of water hyacinth leaves, helped to make jack fruit cake, picked fruit, vegetables and herbs for our meals, went on a sampan boat ride on the Mekong, saw how rice pancakes, coconut candy and popping rice are made as well as a rowing boat on a tributary canal, etc. She is such an asset to the host family and is passionate about her life as a country girl. Highly recommend staying here if you want an authentic slice of life on the Mekong Delta.

A truly wonderful way to experience the Mekong. The food was amazing, it was so lovely being able to meet and chat with locals and our guide Nhi was so warm and helpful. We had an excellent time and highly recommend to travellers interested in exploring this part of the world.

Een hele leuke homestay in de Mekong Delta, prima ligging. Wij hadden een apart appartementje dat net klaar was. Fantastisch, groot, schoon en heerlijke bedden. Het is echt een homestay, daar houden wij wel van, een beetje kneuterig waardoor het een heel aangenaam verblijf was. Het eten is prima, personeel heel vriendelijk.
