This place is your home away from home! I won't write about all the tours, food, bungalows because it's all been covered before. I just want to add that you instantly feel welcomed and part of the family with Theu and Maxim. They go out of their way to make this a relaxed stay and having the puppies and kitten... More

So close to Can Thao but far enough out of the hectic tourism trail to get a feel for the real Vietnam. Boat & bike trips included. Great hosts, great accomodation (put up with no a/cond for a couple of nights -it's worth it!), excellent food - all at a good price. What more could you want?

My son and I were so pleased we booked to spend a night here, we took the local bus from Ben Tre to Can Tho then a taxi to the top of the lane where Theu met us and took our bags on her motorbike leaving us to stroll down to find a welcome drink ready for us. The shacks... More

Nguyen Shack's activities give visitors a look at a part of Vietnam tourists rarely see. The huts are very clean and comfortable. The bed is comfotable and has mosquito netting. The morning boat ride to the floating market passes village homes and people going about their daily activities, bathing in the Mekong, washing clothes, etc. After returning and having a... More

We loved this homestay in a beautiful, peaceful area. It is just as pictured on the website and is a really friendly place where everyone eats and drinks together in the evening. The included trips are great - we learned lots about the local community and their culture - and you can also borrow a bike to explore the local... More

If you are thinking about staying here please stop thinking and just book. Our stay here turned out to be one of the most special experiences of our lives and one we will never ever forget. It is easy sometimes for us as human beings to get it wrong. Theu however is an excellent example of someone who is getting... More

The cabins are ok, but the tours are overrated. The boat tour is just a trip up and down the river with no guide or any information. The floating market itself is nice, but again no guide or any information provided. The biking tour is better described as a village tour. This tour is with a guide, but nothing more... More

We decided to stay here as we wanted to see the Mekong Delta but not stay in a town/city environment. The 3 trips included in the package were all really interesting. I especially enjoyed the cycle trip to see the local tradesmen and school. The floating market trip was different to what I expected. It was less touristy than I... More

Very friendly and helpful hosts, beautiful setting out of the hustle and bustle of the city, unique tours and clean rooms. If we could have, we would have stayed longer. A homely atmosphere. A Mekong Delta highlight.

I did not have high expectations of the Mekong delta but this turned out to be the highlight of our honeymoon. It is worth the travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho was worth it. I loved also being away from the city and the feeling of being remote. The accomodation it's self was value for money.... More
